Thailand is cutting off Bitget. Users have until December 5 to prepare

Summary

Thailand’s SEC has scheduled a December 5, 2026 block on access to Bitget’s websites and app, following a criminal complaint alleging that the exchange operated without a license and targeted Thai users from 2022 to 2025. The allegations, including claims against a promoter, remain subject to the legal process. The SEC urged customers to consider assets held on the exchange before the restriction, but announced no asset freeze, forced sale or separate withdrawal deadline. Bitget’s terms already list Thailand as a restricted country. The company said it was reviewing the SEC notice and that user assets remained safe, but availability of withdrawals for Thai accounts is unclear.
