Bitget restricts Russian and Belarusian users without announcement

Bitget has added Russia and Belarus to its list of restricted countries in the English version of its terms. The change allows the exchange to freeze accounts and block withdrawals without prior notice.

Users in both countries already see registration blocked on the platform. Notifications urge them to close all open orders by October 21 and withdraw funds, as trading and staking services will stop from October 18.

No official comment has been issued. The move comes weeks after Bitget restored services following a September breach that resulted in $387.5 million in losses.
