Coinbase exchange goes down

Amid the trading frenzy on Wednesday, which saw Bitcoin price rise to scrape $64,000, Coinbase, the largest crypto exchange in the US, crashed. Co-founder and CEO of the trading platform, Brian Armstrong acknowledged the incident, citing “LARGE surge of traffic.”

The platform’s customer support also reassured customers that while there could be errors in buying or selling, customer funds were safe.  The reassurance came as some users reported zero balances despite having voluminous balances in their accounts.

Notably, with the current craze in the market, it is unsurprising to see servers crash because of excessive traffic. FXStreet team will bring reports once Coinbase support confirms that normalcy is restored and the situation is resolved.

Meanwhile, CNBC crypto trader and founder of Crypto Banter Ran Neuner attributes the downtime to a “full tilt bull market frenzy!!”
