As of September 27, 2026, Bitget has not filed a registration statement with the SEC or any other exchange regulator, and no S-1, F-1, or equivalent prospectus exists on SEC EDGAR (US filings only) or elsewhere. On April 10, 2026, blockchain.news reported that Bitget CEO Gracy Chen said the exchange is targeting a Nasdaq or NYSE listing within three years, a timeline announced alongside the launch of Bitget's 'IPO Prime' pre-IPO trading product as the company pivots toward what it calls a full-spectrum universal exchange (UEX). That target has since been reaffirmed under pressure: The Cryptonomist reported on September 26, 2026 that days after a hack detected on September 24, 2026 drained $387.5 million from Bitget's hot and warm wallets, an amount fully covered by its $464 million User Protection Fund, with cold wallets reported untouched, Chen reaffirmed the same three-year IPO timeline, while calling 2026 a challenging year for crypto IPOs as capital rotates toward AI and space listings. Both statements are executive commentary on intent, not a filing, a confidential draft submission, or a disclosed banker engagement.

Key points

A three-year target, not a filing

On April 10, 2026, blockchain.news reported that Bitget CEO Gracy Chen said the exchange is targeting a Nasdaq or NYSE listing within three years. The statement came alongside the launch of Bitget's 'IPO Prime,' a pre-IPO trading product, as part of a broader pivot toward what Bitget calls a full-spectrum universal exchange (UEX).

As of September 27, 2026, no S-1, F-1, or equivalent prospectus for Bitget appears on SEC EDGAR, which covers only US filings, or with any other exchange or securities regulator. A three-year target announced by an executive is a stated intention, not a registration process; only a filed prospectus or a specific date confirmed by Bitget itself would mark an actual listing step.

A $387.5 million hack days before the reaffirmation

A hack detected on September 24, 2026 drained $387.5 million from Bitget's hot and warm wallets, The Cryptonomist reported on September 26, 2026. The exchange said the loss was fully covered by its $464 million User Protection Fund and that its cold wallets, kept offline, were not affected.

The timing put the IPO plan under scrutiny days after a major security incident. Bitget's account of the loss and its coverage came from the same September 26, 2026 report that carried Chen's renewed IPO comments, not from a separate audit or regulatory disclosure in the verified record here.

Why Chen is framing 2026 as a hard year for crypto IPOs

In the same September 26, 2026 report, Gracy Chen reaffirmed the three-year IPO timeline first stated in April, while calling 2026 a challenging year for crypto IPOs as capital rotates into AI and space listings, per The Cryptonomist.

That framing positions any slippage in timeline as a market-wide condition rather than a company-specific setback, but it remains executive commentary. Track SEC EDGAR and Bitget's own official statements directly for the first verifiable sign that a listing process, such as a confidential draft submission or a public filing, has actually begun.

Analytical lens

Search intent

Searches like 'When Will Bitget IPO? CEO Reaffirms 3-Year Target After $387.5M Hack' are research questions: what a filing or a company statement confirms, what has only been reported, and what is still unknown.

What counts as a listing step

For an IPO, the primary record is a registration statement filed with the securities regulator of the listing market, such as an S-1 or F-1 on SEC EDGAR for a US listing. Funding rounds, valuations and secondary-market prices are context, not listing steps.

Segmara role
