Bitget Shuts Down Japan Operations by Year End

Bitget is officially exiting the Japanese market. The exchange stopped accepting new account registrations from local residents immediately. Starting November 1, the platform will begin restricting the capabilities of existing accounts as it prepares to wind down services.

All remaining positions held by users in Japan must be closed by December 31. After this date, the exchange will no longer support accounts for residents in the region. The move marks a significant shift for the platform as it adjusts its global presence.

This decision impacts how traders in Japan manage their assets on the site. If you have an active account, you should prepare to withdraw your funds or close your positions before the December deadline to avoid issues with your holdings.

Keep an eye on official announcements from the platform regarding any specific withdrawal windows. It is always wise to move your assets to a secure personal wallet if you are affected by a service closure.
