Bitget Revises Breach Total to $388 Million After Fuller Onchain Review

Crypto exchange Bitget has revised the scale of Thursday’s security breach, now confirming about $388 million in assets were affected, up from the $352 million first reported. In a Friday update, Bitget said $387.5 million was transferred to attacker controlled addresses based on onchain tracing, roughly $35 million more than the initial figure.

Why the Numbers Changed

Bitget said the revised total reflects a more complete accounting of transfers made during the incident, adding affected assets on Zcash and TRON that were left out of the first estimate. The exchange stressed this does not mean further unauthorized transfers occurred, saying the incident remains contained and no more unauthorized transfers are possible.

Which Networks and Assets Were Affected

The breach touched addresses across Ethereum Virtual Machine networks, the XRP Ledger, Zcash and TRON. Stolen assets included XRP, Ether, Tether’s USDt, Zcash, USDC, USDT0, XAUt, BNB, AVAX and TRX. Bitget said it would keep withdrawals paused and has launched a bounty program to encourage freezing or recovering the stolen funds. The follow-up report did not address CEO Gracy Chen’s earlier comments suggesting a North Korean hacking group may be responsible.

How the Breach Compares to Past Hacks

Even at the revised total, the Bitget breach ranks among the industry’s largest. It follows the roughly $1.5 billion Ether theft from Bybit in February 2025, still one of the biggest crypto hacks on record.
