Fact Check
The Bitget official support article confirms Bitget routinely suspends ETH-Optimism withdrawals for wallet maintenance with 'reopening date to be announced separately,' exactly matching the claim's wording and pattern. However, the located official announcement is dated 2026-06-03 15:14 (UTC+8), not the claimed 2026-06-23 10:44 (UTC+8). No official source confirming the specific June 23 announcement was found via web search or Bitget's X account. Because the event time coincides with the present and such operational notices are frequently published just before the cutoff, a genuine June 23 announcement may simply not yet be indexed. The claim is plausible and consistent with Bitget's documented practice, but the exact date/time cannot be independently verified, so the evidence is insufficient.
