BitMart has announced the cessation of its operations. This article provides an in-depth analysis of the distinct legal risks and response strategies faced by users, onshore employees, and key opinion leaders (KOLs) in this event. For users, it is recommended to handle assets based on product types, preserve evidence such as transaction IDs (TXIDs), and rationally choose among communication, cross-border litigation, or filing reports with authorities. For onshore employees, emphasis is placed on clarifying job authority, subjective awareness, and actual level of involvement to avoid being simplistically labeled. For KOLs, it is pointed out that promotional content, commission structures, and whether there was deep involvement in guiding transactions must be reviewed, with vigilance against criminal risks such as the crime of operating a casino. The core recommendation for all parties is to immediately secure a complete chain of evidence, rather than blindly deleting records or transferring assets.
