$228M Drained in 18 Minutes
Attackers moved $228 million out of Bitget within an 18-minute window, triggering an immediate withdrawal pause for customers. Arkham's onchain analysis traced the fund flows across seven blockchains, putting the total breach at roughly $350 million.
$153M in XRP Leads the Traced Haul
Arkham identified $153 million in XRP as the largest single-asset tranche in the stolen funds. The remaining $122 million+ spans multiple chains and tokens, with investigators still mapping the full multi-chain trail.
Exchange Response and Ongoing Investigation
Bitget suspended withdrawals while the investigation continues. The exchange has not publicly disclosed the breach entry point or which specific chains were most affected beyond Arkham's seven-chain count. Withdrawals remain paused as Arkham tracks the remaining assets onchain.
