The restrictions will cover spot and futures trading, copy trading, trading bots and yield-related products. Bitget plans to forcibly close any positions that remain open on Dec. 31. Japanese users should close leveraged positions before the Dec. 31 deadline rather than rely on forced liquidation. The measures increase the potential cost of continuing to serve Japanese customers without regulatory approval. Bitget users affected by the closure should review account emails, complete address verification where necessary and confirm the deadlines for each service.
