Bitget suspends HOME-Base withdrawals from July 17 for wallet maintenance
The exchange said withdrawals on the HOME - BASE network will halt at 2026-07-17 22:06 (UTC+8), with the reopening date to be announced separately.
Fact Check
The claim precisely matches Bitget's established, recurring announcement pattern for suspending SWELL-Ethereum withdrawals for wallet maintenance, as evidenced by the official 'Bitget announcement on suspending SWELL - Ethereum network withdrawal service' (a prior instance dated 2026-03-28 start) and the 'Bitget announcement on resuming SWELL - Ethereum withdrawals' (2026-02-13). However, I could not locate the specific announcement carrying the claimed date and time (2026-07-17 08:37 UTC+8) through web search, X search, or the support center, so the exact July 17 instance is unconfirmed.
Summary
Bitget said it will suspend the withdrawal function of HOME on the BASE network because of wallet maintenance, starting at 2026-07-17 22:06 (UTC+8). The exchange said the reopening date will be announced separately, leaving the duration of the disruption unspecified. Maintenance-related service pauses are commonly used by exchanges to carry out wallet infrastructure updates or stability work tied to a specific network.
