Bitget to End Services for Some Users

Global cryptocurrency exchange Bitget will end services for some users.

Cointelegraph reported on Oct. 17 that Bitget said in an official post on X, formerly Twitter, that it would terminate services for certain users as a one-off measure.

Users in Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan are believed to be among those affected. Wu Blockchain reported that Bitget's English-language terms of service, updated on Oct. 16, designate those countries as restricted jurisdictions where services are prohibited.

Users subject to the shutdown will receive individual notices by email, in-app messages and push notifications with the relevant schedule and fund withdrawal procedures. Users who do not receive a separate official notice can continue using the platform as usual.

Bitget said user funds remain secure and that the exchange is operating normally.

The company did not disclose the specific users affected or the reason for the move.
