Bybit team is standby to help in any ways that we can. Bitget helped us when we had the hack.
we are updating lazarusbounty.com/en/ to help Bitget to capture and trace the stolen fund movement.
Here is what we can confirm at this stage:
On the attack:
Our security team has made initial progress in tracing the source. The attacker compromised a critical backend system within our wallet infrastructure, used it to spoof transaction data, and triggered our authorization process to move funds out. Private key compromise has been ruled out — this excludes the more severe risk scenarios. Loss containment is confirmed. No further unauthorized transfers are possible. The specific method of system intrusion remains under active investigation. A full technical report will follow once confirmed.
On withdrawal restoration:
Multiple technical teams are working in parallel on system remediation and security hardening. Withdrawal restoration is being prepared in parallel. We will announce a timeline as soon as one is confirmed — we will not commit to a window we cannot guarantee.

For most of Bybit's history, "crypto exchange" was an accurate description of what we built. Over the past year, it stopped being true. We've been building something much bigger.
Bybit is The New Financial Platform. We built it to put the choice of when, where, and how your money moves back in your hands.

Since the Lazarus attack in February 2025, Bybit has been working on recovery from every possible angle.
Today, we took another step forward.
Bybit has filed a civil lawsuit against the DPRK and the Lazarus Group, and secured a preliminary injunction freezing identified stolen assets while the case moves forward.
So far, we have recovered about $48.4M, with another $30.5M frozen across more than 28 exchanges and custodians.
This has taken a lot of cooperation across exchanges, blockchain analytics firms, custodians and law enforcement agencies .
The attack was against Bybit, but the problem is much bigger than Bybit. Cybercrime is a threat to the entire crypto industry. We will keep working with everyone who can help trace, freeze and recover stolen assets and we’ll keep using every lawful tool available.
The fight isn’t over. We keep pushing to build a new financial platform that is safer for everyone.

Back in 2021, we established our options division. Over the years, the product has gone through many changes and upgrades.
Today, Bybit Options offers some of the deepest liquidity in the market and is portfolio margined alongside our other product lines, including our upcoming TradFi stocks and stock options offerings.
Stay tuned. We keep pushing.
A milestone worth celebrating, and we’re only getting started.
Bybit Options now ranks No. 2 globally, capturing 22.4% of options trading volume in H1 2026 and reaching 27.7% in June.
This reflects the relentless work of our teams and the trust of our users.
Next target: No. 1.

BitMEX pioneered the perpetual swap and became the world's #1 crypto exchange. Used by millions, it inspired the exchanges that followed — including Bybit.
Regulators came for them, but the product outlived the backlash. Today perps are the beating heart of crypto, going legal in more countries every year (EU, Dubai VARA, HK, and more).
End of an era. Respect to the legends who built it. 🫡

Dear BitMEX Users,
Today, we share with a very heavy heart that BitMEX exchange will shut down its operations, effective 23 September 2026 at 04:00:00 UTC.
The owner and operator of BitMEX, HDR Global Trading Limited, has made the difficult decision to close operations following a strategic review of the business.
It may not look the same today, but we are proud of our 11+ year legacy and the role we played in shaping the crypto industry. We invented the 100x leverage perpetual swap, which for most of you, was the first step to your crypto trading journey. It is now the most traded financial product in the crypto industry, adopted by thousands of users and exchanges. And we remain proud of our robust security infrastructure, which has allowed us to maintain a flawless track record of 0 customer funds lost to hacks in our entire operating history.
We want to reassure you that your assets remain fully safe and under your control during this transition period. This announcement is just to give enough time to ensure a smooth withdrawal process for everyone.
From today we strongly encourage all users to close their positions and withdraw their funds as soon as convenient. For more details on the full process, please read our blog: bitmex.com/blog/bitmex-closu…
BitMEX was once home to some of the greatest traders today. Our team has dedicated tremendous effort and passion into building the platform into what it is, and we are glad to have reached some of you during your time with us. To everyone who has traded, supported, and grown alongside us - thank you for your trust over the last 11 years.
The BitMEX Team
