CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated in a post that Bitcoin long-term holders (LTHs) are generally more stable than short-term holders (STHs) and less sensitive to market volatility, so monitoring their fund activities helps assess selling pressure. Data shows LTHs’ current realized profit is approximately 72%. While this level appears high, it remains far lower than previous market phase peaks—for instance, in December 2024, LTHs’ realized profit once neared 350%. Currently, LTHs are in a relatively mild profit-taking phase, a level close to that seen during the prior bear market, which may prompt most long-term holders to wait rather than sell off en masse immediately.

User balances remain intact, and the Bitget User Protection Fund will cover losses stemming from this platform-level event. Bitget Wallet, a self-custody wallet, operates on infrastructure fully separate and independent from Bitget Exchange, so it has not been impacted by the incident.

The withdrawal function remains suspended amid additional security checks and will be reopened as soon as the platform confirms it can safely resume operations.
