Bitget’s Chen says ~4,098 BTC processed after Monday reopen as BSC BTC returns

Bitget’s Monday reopen is no longer just a schedule line. In a community AMA / livestream the same day phase-one withdrawals returned, CEO Gracy Chen put processing totals on the record and said BTC withdrawals resumed first on both the Bitcoin network and BNB Smart Chain—a wider first rung than the Bitcoin-network-only desk read in the morning reopen chapter (9902). This UPDATE links the method-statement chapter (9908) rather than silent-editing either URL.
The processing print. ChainCatcher relayed livestream figures as of about 16:50 UTC+8 (08:50 UTC): roughly 7,683 BTC withdrawal applications processed for about 3,609 BTC, with no order backlog claimed and about 6,946 applications already showing on-chain confirmation. A later desk wrap on Traders Union attributed a higher checkpoint to Chen—9,585 withdrawal orders totaling 4,098.036 BTC processed live on Bitcoin mainnet and BSC as of 17:00 UTC+8 (09:00 UTC). Treat both as company livestream numbers, not an independent settlement audit; users should still confirm status inside their own Bitget accounts.
Cointelegraph’s September 28 write-up quotes Chen from the AMA: “We restored BTC first because the withdrawal pipeline is the first to be completed,” with ETH and USDT to follow as security checks progress. The published ladder stays ETH Tuesday (Ethereum, BSC, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism), USDT Wednesday (Ethereum, BSC, Solana, Tron), and remaining assets / P2P Friday—aligned with Bitget’s Sep 29 / Sep 30 / Oct 2 UTC table. Chen also said the schedule applies to all users with no priority access for institutions, VIP customers, or Bitget employees—company claim via Cointelegraph.
Balance-sheet framing from the same livestream day. ChainCatcher reported Chen calling the breach Bitget’s first security incident in eight years, repeating the third-party security-product credential path (already covered in 9908), saying private keys were not leaked and cold wallets were unaffected, and saying verified losses sit inside Protection Fund coverage. She put platform funds above $1.4 billion, including about $464 million in the user protection fund, and said Bitget plans to replenish that fund to a $300 million baseline within a week—again company statements, not an external audit of the fund ledger.
Trail desk stays split. Cointelegraph notes Lookonchain reported Monday that the attacker was swapping Ether for Bitcoin through THORChain, with Arkham-linked ETH flowing into THORChain vaults, while THORChain said the same day that a network halt is a broad emergency tool “not a selective freeze of specific funds or an individual swap.” Those hops belong on the sibling THORChain / Wasabi tracker; this chapter is operational reopen throughput only.
NFT and collector desks still track this because Bitget is a major fiat/crypto on-ramp for traders who also bid floors. A multi-day withdrawal freeze after a ~$388 million loss figure only clears when retail rails actually process size—not when a calendar cell flips. Chen’s AMA totals are the first same-day throughput print after the morning reopen chapters. Next failure modes to watch without inventing them: account-level queues that reverse the “no backlog” claim, a silent re-close of BSC or Bitcoin routes, or a slip in the Sep 29 ETH window. Sygnum Protect and other institutional custody frames from earlier coverage stay a separate lane from the retail withdraw UI.
Why this is a Rug Room UPDATE, not a rehash. 9902 established the Bitcoin-network open toggle via schedule + route monitors; 9908 added The Block method statement. Today’s new facts are Chen’s AMA processing totals (~3,609 to ~4,098 BTC across thousands of orders), the claim that BSC BTC also came back in the first restore wave, equal-access language, and the $1.4B / $464M / $300M replenish framing from the livestream wraps. What not to invent: that ETH or USDT already reopened; that every account cleared without KYC friction; that Lookonchain volumes are independently re-counted here; or that Protection Fund replenish already finished.
Bottom line: Bitget’s Monday AMA puts roughly 4,098 BTC across 9,585 withdrawal orders on the processing tape and says BTC reopen included BSC alongside Bitcoin mainnet—Rug Room UPDATE on the Bitget hack & withdrawals tracker after 9908.
