• 
  Wu Blockchain (@WuBlockchain) reported 2 minutes ago

  Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong stated the recent exchange outage was caused by an AWS data center overheating due to chiller failures. He explained that while most systems have Availability Zone (AZ) redundancy, exchange systems prioritize latency and co-location over full redundancy. Following this incident, Coinbase will re-evaluate its architecture to significantly reduce future downtime during AZ migrations.

  @DelCrxpto @coinbase I’m getting the circling blue screen what’s the reason for that ??? How to fix it @coinbase

  @Byrons_perfect @DelCrxpto @coinbase Yeah in all seriousness, it’s not bad. Only when it goes down, that’s when people start to complain.

  @cgtwts Just look at the boards of Paypal, Google, Meta, Block, Oracle and Coinbase. You'll find the overlap power players (Andreessen Horowitz and Goldman Sachs), because the excuses are the same. And you'll also find the next companies to layoff: Microsoft, Stripe, Doordash.

  @markus_gz @Bitcoin_Teddy This is Coinbase's crypto-backed mortgage program (launched with Better and Fannie Mae in March 2026). You pledge BTC or USDC from your Coinbase account as collateral to cover the down payment—without selling it or triggering taxes. It's structured as a standard conforming Fannie Mae mortgage plus a separate down-payment loan. Key perk: no margin calls or top-ups if crypto prices drop. Market moves never trigger liquidation. Your collateral is only at risk after 60 days of missed payments, like a traditional mortgage. Rates run ~0.5-1.5% above standard 30-year fixed, depending on your profile. It's designed to let crypto holders buy homes while keeping their assets.

  @rwitoff @coinbase Assuming it’s not possible to run your exchange paxos cluster cross-AZ because of latency? What exactly are you running? 3/5 with 3 nodes in that datacenter that went down?

  Frank Rundatz (@FrankRundatz) reported 16 minutes ago

  Coinbase was down for seven hours and had to “work through the night” because an air conditioner failed. For those that don’t know - an Availability Zone just means a data center in AWS-speak. Typically, people who use AWS spread their apps across multiple Availability Zones and even across multiple Regions. AWS makes this easy to do for even small businesses. Here we have the CEO of Coinbase saying they didn’t do that because of latency concerns. This is what we call bullshit. Brian is saying if they made their system redundant then customers’ connections to Coinbase would be slower. This statement is sort of true but seems to be designed to fool non-technical people. Because any technical person knows that Coinbase could have fairly easily designed their system to fail over to a secondary Availability Zone AND THEIR CUSTOMERS COULD’VE FOLLOWED THEM. In such a design, no additional latency is introduced. Coinbase knows this, they just don’t seem very good at their job. Which makes sense when they’re saying they’re laying people off because non-technical people are using AI to do technical work.

  📌 SEC moves to formalize on‑chain finance rules—will it spark a tokenization boom?! What Happened: Coinbase reported a $398 M quarterly loss and paused trading after an AWS outage, sending its stock to a low before the news. My Take: Watch whether the SEC actually launches a rulemaking and what the scope will be. Practical Takeaway: Regulatory signals now dominate short‑term crypto‑related equity moves.

  @JeepGirlBeCca @RippleXrpie Coinbase is not going to block it anymore

• 
  OffChain (@OffChainSol) reported 26 minutes ago

  Coinbase went down because a server room overheated. Millions of people locked out of moving or withdrawing their funds. Every exchange you use is one AWS region, one ISP. That's the actual architecture of "crypto" for most users. Offchain solves this. With Offchain you can send crypto fully offline, anywhere in the world, over SMS. Designed to never go down because SMS runs on cellular networks, not the internet. No AWS, no wifi. The whole thing is designed so the user side never assumes internet. Emerging markets, bad signal, AWS outages, doesn't matter.

  Coinbase down, Bitcoin flash crashes to near zero on Revolut, and $COIN reports a $394M loss. Meanwhile $BTC barely moves at 80k. Honestly this is peak crypto—infrastructure's still held together with duct tape but somehow we keep making money anyway lol

  Cloudflare $NET lays off 1,100+ employees to restructure for the “agentic AI “era” - stock price goes down by 25%. Coinbase $COIN lays off 14% of employees as “non-technical teams are now pushing code to production with AI” - their trading engine & status page goes down. You simply cannot make this stuff up.

  S. K. (@i_hate_intel) reported 36 minutes ago

  @tetsuo_cpp I think some of the companies had good results and still did AI layoffs. Block, Amazon, MSFT, all had strong quarterly earnings and guidance, yet still did layoffs. Others like Coinbase and Cloudflare didn't have good earnings and are AI washing.

  @Ashique_6 ai agents / autonomous agents amazon launched agentcore 14hrs ago enabling agents to make autonomous stablecoin payments via coinbase. aws bedrock added x402 integration for usdc micropayments on base and solana. aptos committed $50m to agent infrastructure. ton launched agentic wallets. oobit (tether backed) launched agent cards with visa support the infrastructure is moving faster than most realize. machine payments protocol already at 10% of agentic commerce volume. virtuals protocol builders raised $30m. deagentai hit $11m in protocol fees. aeonframework pulled 97% returns in 30 days on prediction markets compute networks will scale but agents are the transactional layer that actually drives demand for that compute and creates new economic models on chain

  Japan's largest QR payment network just signed with Aptos for stablecoin settlement. This week alone: → Amazon built AI agent payment rails (Coinbase x402 + Stripe) → Exodus shipped agent wallets with Visa cards on Solana → OwlTing launched self-custody agent wallets (MTL, 40 US states) → Hashed launched KRW stablecoin L1 with ERC-8004 agent identity → 20 banks queued at Anchorage to issue stablecoins post-GENIUS Act NETSTARS' StarPay-X connects 100K+ Japanese merchants to Web3 payment rails. Aptos provides sub-second finality. Stablecoins replace QR-to-bank settlement. The pattern: every payment layer — QR codes, cards, wallets, agent protocols — is being rebuilt on stablecoin rails simultaneously across every geography. Consensus 2026 wasn't a conference. It was a deployment week. #AIAgents #Stablecoin #Web3

  @DelCrxpto @coinbase For people asking why: Hot outages of March happened 8-9, When people can't access their money during market volatility, "Delete Coinbase" becomes a viral rallying cry out of pure frustration. Insider Breaches. Earlier this year (February 2026), Coinbase confirmed a small insider breach where a contractor improperly accessed data for about 30 customers. While small, these incidents make privacy-conscious users nervous about keeping the app linked to their primary devices. In Q1 2026, Coinbase reported a significant $394 million loss and announced 700 job cuts. The Fear: Some users interpret job cuts and financial misses as a sign of instability. While Coinbase remains a giant with over $10 billion in cash, the "delete" narrative often gains steam when a company’s stock and workforce are shrinking.

  @rwitoff @coinbase Commenting without knowing the details of your infrastructure is difficult, but in my opinion, what should have been done during this outage is: As soon as it was detected that the data center’s cooling system had failed, block customer access to the Coinbase IP, gracefully shut down the primary systems before they crashed, and then bring up the standby systems. This way, there would have been no data loss, and customers might have been unable to access Coinbase for around 10 minutes at most. I assume your RTO is already maximum 5-10 minutes anyway.

  @seslly @coinbase We’ll share more in our full RCA, but we had an appropriate RF to survive a zone outage. The way this hardware failed triggered a bug in the managed cluster that still took the cluster down, which we had to work around to recover with the vendor.

  @brian_armstrong @CoinbaseSupport @coinbase Formerly loyal Coinbase One customer here joining the exponentially growing ranks of customers becoming increasingly dissatisfied with your efforts. The war stories are mounting! As a litany of banks and brokerages line up to provide crypto services to retail, are you sure it’s in your best interest to provide a far below par level of customer service???? Do better or Schwab, BofA, Morgan Stanley, etc….. surely will. You’re dabbling when you should be excelling. And by the time you realize it, it will be too late.
