Case summary
What happened
BitMart operated flexible and fixed Savings products, staking products, and collateralized Crypto Loans within centrally administered Spot, Earn, and loan accounts. On 26 July 2026 the exchange announced an orderly wind-down, immediately began restricting registrations, deposits, new orders, and positions, and said Earn, Staking, Lending, and other products would be discontinued in phases under product-specific arrangements. As of 5 August 2026, trading cessation scheduled for 26 August 2026 and formal platform termination scheduled for 31 January 2027 were still future events. Product-specific redemption and settlement procedures had not been fully published or completed.
Customer result
Customer outcome
Unknown
The platform remained in an active wind-down. Withdrawal availability and instructions to redeem products are not proof that every fixed-term product matured, every loan or collateral position settled, every compliance review completed, or every customer withdrew. Future August 2026 and January 2027 deadlines are not treated as completed.
- Estimated recovery
- Not classified. BitMart instructed users to redeem eligible Earn, Staking, Lending, and other investment products and kept withdrawals available, but product-specific settlement procedures and completion across all customer accounts were not established as of 5 August 2026.

Asset treatment
Terms risk
Varies by product
Product-specific agreements, asset, term, maturity, collateral, redemption, liquidation, suspension, and wind-down rules must be read separately. Transfer back to a Spot Wallet and availability of withdrawals do not by themselves establish legal segregation, principal protection, or completed recovery.
- Affected product
- BitMart Flexible and Fixed Savings, Staking, Crypto Loans, Earn accounts, and pledged collateral
- Confidence
- High
BitMart's reviewed terms distinguish Savings subscriptions, staking assets, loan collateral, and ordinary Spot Wallet balances. Savings assets were transferred to an Earn account and could be used for BitMart operating purposes, staking assets could be deployed on-chain or through other earning activities, and loan collateral remained frozen under platform control. These structures do not support one uniform ownership or segregation conclusion across the product family.
Known unknowns
Uncertainty
The reviewed announcement does not provide final discontinuation dates for each Earn, Staking, or Lending product, does not establish completion of every redemption or withdrawal, and does not resolve treatment of all fixed-term subscriptions, collateralized loans, frozen collateral, compliance reviews, or post-deadline balances.
Chronology
Historical record
BitMart documents its Earn fixed-savings product
BitMart published an introduction to its Earn hub and fixed Savings products, including fixed terms and stated APYs for supported assets.
This is the earliest reviewed product-specific date, not necessarily the first launch date of every BitMart Earn product.
BitMart announces an orderly platform wind-down
BitMart announced that it would wind down trading-platform operations and discontinue Earn, Staking, Lending, Launchpad, and other products in phases under product-specific arrangements.
The notice is a schedule and process announcement. It does not establish completion of product redemption, trading cessation, or platform termination as of 5 August 2026.
BitMart begins restricting registrations, deposits, and new activity
BitMart began gradually stopping new registrations, cryptocurrency and fiat deposits, new spot orders, new futures positions, and automated trading services as part of the wind-down.
The measures began at 01:30 UTC and were described as gradual. Withdrawal services remained available subject to compliance and security review.
BitMart schedules cessation of trading services
BitMart scheduled all spot, futures, and other trading services to end at 01:00 UTC on 26 August 2026, with remaining positions subject to applicable settlement rules.
This is a future scheduled event as of the 5 August 2026 review date. It must be reverified after the deadline before being converted to a completed operations-ended event.
BitMart schedules formal platform termination
BitMart planned to cease trading-platform operations at 15:59 UTC on 31 January 2027 while retaining limited post-termination account and withdrawal access for a specified period.
This is a future scheduled event as of the 5 August 2026 review date and is not evidence that operations have already ended.
