Bitget said it will stop providing services to some of its users. The exchange called it a one-off exercise. It made the announcement in a post on X on Saturday, and Cointelegraph reported it on Oct 17, 2026.
Bitget said the funds of the users involved will stay safe while the change takes place. It also said its crypto platform will keep running as normal for everyone else.
The report does not say which users are affected or how many. It also gives no reason for the decision and no timeline. It does not say what affected users must do or how they will get access to their funds.
For anyone already holding a perpetual position on Bitget, the announcement changes nothing directly that can be measured today. It says nothing about perpetual futures, funding rates, trading fees or liquidity. The one real question is for users in the affected group: Bitget has not said what happens to their open positions.
