The cryptocurrency exchange BitMart has released a preliminary intention plan, stating that it will review its assets and liabilities and formulate response arrangements starting from August 2026. The plan was formed during the initial due diligence conducted by Alvarez & Marsal and White & Case; users can choose front-end allocation or potentially higher recoveries from sources that may be recovered and liquidated later. The management team stated that they will continue to cooperate.BitMart stated that the total market value of the cryptocurrency market decreased in 2026, with volume manipulation groups profiting from commission and zero slippage policies in contract business, while fee-based services turned into losses; a hacker attack in December 2021 resulted in a balance sheet gap of approximately $319.5 million based on the value as of December 4, 2021. Starting from May 2026, social media attacks triggered panic withdrawals, and related personnel faced risks of personal information leakage. After evaluating a $10 million liquidity proposal from an investor, the management deemed it insufficient to cover operational pressures and gaps.The plan proposes to convert outstanding account balances into dollars based on the weighted average price from July 26, 2026, to the time of recording, to be verified by an independent party appointed by the court. Users can receive a proportional front-end allocation of fiat currency, USDC, PYUSD, USDT, and liquid assets such as BTC, ETH, SOL, or participate in the recovery of stolen assets by exchanging for recovery tokens at a rate of 1 unit per $1, or exchange for continuation tokens that can be traded on decentralized exchanges, corresponding to investment rights, non-standard asset liquidation, and a portion of distributable profits after business restart. In the next three to four weeks, feedback will be solicited from the top 50 users, and a report on the expected recovery ratios for each option will be compiled.
