Popular multi-chain wallet BitKeep will rebrand to Bitget Wallet following a $30 million investment from the namesake crypto derivatives exchange last week.

On March 29, multichain wallet BitKeep announced that it had fully compensated users affected by the 7.2.9. Android Package Kit exploit that took place on Dec. 26, 2022. On the day of the incident, the 7.2.9. APK update for BitKeep was maliciously swapped by hackers, resulting in an estimated $8 million loss of funds from users who downloaded the malware.

According to BitKeep, 11,090 wallets affected by the incident have been fully reimbursed as of March 29. In addition, BitKeep says its customer service channels remain open to processing several “irregular” claims and appeals. At the same time, BitKeep will rebrand to Bitget Wallet following a $30 million investment last week at a $300 million valuation from the namesake cryptocurrency derivatives exchange. As part of the integration, BitKeep will have access to Bitget’s $300 million Bitget User Protection Fund in the event of future security threats.
