Bitget restricts users in Russia and Belarus under new rules

In an October 17 statement on X, the exchange confirmed that affected customers would receive individual notifications explaining when they must stop trading, close positions and withdraw their remaining funds. Bitget described the action as “a one-off exercise for certain users only” and said its trading platform would continue operating. The announcement did not identify how many users would lose access or provide a common deadline. Customers who have not received a termination notice can continue using their accounts, provided they meet the exchange’s eligibility requirements. The exchange’s updated terms , dated October 16, classify people residing, established or operating in prohibited jurisdictions as restricted users. Russia and Belarus are included in the latest list, alongside Kazakhstan, which appeared in earlier versions of the agreement.
