Fact Check
I verified WCT is supported on Ethereum at Bitget and that Bitget recently performed WCT-Ethereum wallet maintenance (May 8, 2026 withdrawal suspension, per the official Bitget support article). Bitget publishes deposit-suspension announcements in the exact wording and structure described in the claim (see IMU-Ethereum and MASA-Ethereum deposit suspension articles). The specific June 15 WCT deposit-suspension article was not yet indexed in search (the event is dated today), so I could not directly cite it, preventing full validation. Given the strong corroboration of pattern, channel, token, and network, the claim is likely true.
Summary
Bitget said it will suspend withdrawals for USDT on the Plasma network starting from 2026-06-16 21:08 (UTC+8) because of wallet maintenance. The exchange said the reopening date will be announced separately, indicating the interruption is temporary but without a confirmed end time. Bitget apologized for the inconvenience and asked users to follow official channels for further updates.
