Top Story
The Bitget security breach triggered approximately $463 million in customer withdrawals during the 24 hours into 29 September 2026. Bitget said attackers exploited a vulnerability in a third-party security product and used compromised internal credentials to issue fraudulent withdrawal commands.
The breach affected parts of Bitget’s hot- and warm-wallet infrastructure. Bitget said private keys and cold wallets were not compromised, while Google Mandiant and SlowMist investigated the incident.
Bitcoin and Ethereum both fell during the period, while exchange-related security risk added pressure to an already cautious market. Crypto ETFs still recorded approximately $2.39 billion in weekly inflows, showing that institutional demand continued despite the breach and higher Treasury yields.
Bitcoin withdrawals reopened on 28 September, followed by Ethereum and USDT services. Bitget said other tokens, fiat withdrawals, and peer-to-peer services were scheduled to resume by 2 October 2026.

Other Key Events
ETF inflows continued despite rising Treasury yields
Crypto ETFs attracted approximately $2.39 billion in weekly inflows, according to Crypto.news. Daily Bitcoin ETF data showed a $66.2 million net inflow on 29 September, including $51.1 million for BlackRock’s fund and $33.2 million for Ark.
The flows continued as the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield rose from roughly 4.95% to 5.20%. Markets were also awaiting the U.S. August personal consumption expenditures inflation report on 30 September.
SEC and IRS scrutiny expanded
The IRS is reviewing tax strategies used by crypto-linked ETFs under Notice 2026-62. The SEC also opened a 60-day public comment period for “novel ETFs,” including crypto-asset funds and prediction-market products.
The SEC delayed its decision on crypto ETF options from 27 September to 11 November 2026. The U.S. Senate also failed to advance the CLARITY Act, leaving broader crypto-market guidance unresolved.
In Brief
- Moonriver’s MOVR rise was linked by secondary reports to a reported 30 September migration deadline. Moonbeam’s official announcement instead described a 31 July 2026 bridge deadline.
