Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Michael Novati (@michaelnovati) reported@smehmood @sanjeevpai @GergelyOrosz The engineers I know at Coinbase would not accept or defend an 8 hour outage either. They would take the hit, post mortem, fix it, and rebuild trust... and probably agree with Gergely.
-
Richard (@richardxlin) reported@WatcherGuru Why does Coinbase goes down every cycle. Can you imagine if traditional exchanges do the same. Or binance. CB needs to get serious.
-
Kris Sato (@kris_nakamoto) reportedAWS N. Virginia meltdown hits Coinbase today. Server overheat forced $COIN into "cancel only" mode, supposedly just for a short while. Just 1 data center outage highlights the illusion of decentralization for major exchanges.
-
James (@jdelmerico) reported@darknes_fatigue @adamscochran @coinbase Don't follow. If you run any mission critical software and you didn't plan for failure it's on you as a business. Doesn't matter if the issue was with AWS, another cloud provider, or you self-hosting. Coinbase went down because they didn't plan for failure in this case.

Eric Mantebonlovichslowski (@Ericissaucy) reportedAgain. I’m loosing money cause I can’t submit orders! **** YOU @coinbase @brian_armstrong I’m done with Coinbase. Never again.

Brian Armstrong (@brian_armstrong) reportedWe experienced an outage at Coinbase last night, which is never acceptable. The root cause was a room overheating in an AWS datacenter when multiple chillers failed. We design our services to be redundant to downtime in any one AWS Availability Zone (AZ), and most of our systems worked this way last night, but not all. Our centralized exchange did not. Exchanges have unique architectures that optimize for latency and co-location of clients. It is possible to make exchanges resistant to AZ failures, but this can introduce latency delays that are not desirable along with breaking customer co-location. Given this incident, we'll revisit these tradeoffs to see what can be done. At a minimum, the duration of an outage should be able to be reduced considerably when an AZ move is needed. Thank you to the AWS and Coinbase teams for working through the night to mitigate the issue. We’ll share the detailed technical summary once it's ready.

NEOSIS Wallet (@CksLabs) reportedBitcoin's block header has a 32-bit ***** — 4.3 billion possibilities. Modern ASIC miners burn through the entire space in under a millisecond. They have to fiddle the coinbase to get a fresh Merkle root, then start over. The ***** field was never enough.

Shaun of the $TELⓣ (@hitmewithmusic1) reported@brian_armstrong I'm experiencing problem right NOW with Coinbase. Interesting how it always seems to happen when price is really moving.
-
SatsySiren (@SatsySiren) reportedThe entire point of having AZs is to avoid this exact scenario. To make services redundant so that services do not go down if something happens in one data centre. @coinbase is not a serious company.

Bittex (@BittexXBT) reported@brian_armstrong It was an awful 6h for the 3 Coinbase traders

Iza (@izadoesdev) reportedcoinbase: fires 14% of their employees also coinbase: 7 hour outage right after

Reum AI (@ReumAI_) reportedcoinbase added 1,103 BTC in q1. $88m on the books, cointelegraph called it BULLISH. $BTC moved -0.07%. problem is spot ETFs absorbed ~$500m on each of the last two days. coinbase's whole quarterly add is one-fifth of a single ETF session. the corporate-treasury headline is the smallest flow in the room. 15 BTC mentions in 6h on a BULLISH tag. watch the next ETF print, not the next 10-Q.

Fred Velez (@Fredvelezcrypto) reportedCrypto people spent years talking about disruption. Now disruption is showing up in the HR department. Coinbase reportedly cut around 14% of its workforce. Cloudflare announced cuts around 20%. AI layoffs are not theory anymore. They’re showing up in real org charts. And the uncomfortable truth is simple: AI is not coming for “jobs” first. It is coming for tasks. Research. Writing. Support. Coding. Marketing. Analysis. Admin work. A lot of jobs are really just bundles of repeatable tasks. And AI is getting faster, cheaper, and better at those tasks every month. Some companies will use AI intelligently. Some will use it as a convenient excuse to cut costs. Either way, the worker has to adapt. The future is not humans vs AI. It is humans using AI… against humans who refuse to learn it. Brutal? Yes. But markets don’t care about comfort. They care about efficiency.

Chuck.hl (@chuck_hl) reportedNot just a Coinbase problem. A CEX problem. Centralization is fundamentally more complex than just using the decentralized tech itself. And on top of that, everything is way too opaque, so there's no accountability. Hyperliquid.
-
Co (@ITangoI) reported@cgtwts Holy **** did coinbase not have a passive exchange backup in the same AZ? 😱

The Butcher of Wall Street | Marcel Kalinovic (@BossBlunts1) reported@moshhamedani And that's why Coinbase is down entirely right now
-
Elevano Capital (@elevano_capital) reported1/ The week's defining theme: crypto's institutional layer is fracturing under pressure. Coinbase posts a $394M Q1 loss, Block takes a $173M BTC remeasurement hit, and Hyperliquid Strategies bleeds $165M over nine months. Revenue models are being stress-tested in real time.

Ryan (@rharrisai) reported@iruletheworldmo It clearly isn’t. You know what all these firms who mass-fired their workers have in common? They all were struggling in one way or another. Coinbase was at record low revenue figures, Cloudflare had the same revenue problem and their margins were shrinking due to massive AI investments…
-
Benji Vale Ai (@BenjiValeAi) reported(1/3) The biggest story in crypto right now isn't price — it's who gets to own the rails. US stablecoin legislation approaching a vote next week. BofA CEO warning $6T in deposits could migrate to stablecoins. AWS working with Coinbase and Stripe on AI-agent stablecoin payments. The infrastructure land grab is happening in real time.

David Senra (@davidsenra) reportedCoinbase founder @brian_armstrong on the question that changed his life: “I had a piece of paper and wrote down one question: what would I do for the next twenty years even if I saw little or no success? The only thing I could think of was tech entrepreneurship. That was a very clarifying decision. I decided I needed to move to Silicon Valley, because that's where tech entrepreneurship happens. I shut down all the other stuff I was doing because those were just little short-term games. Within a few years of moving to Silicon Valley, Coinbase was founded. Within seven years, it had a billion-dollar valuation. It was a huge direction and change in my life. I knew the big thing was long-term. I went all in, and every decision followed from that.”

KalEl ⛓️🏦⚛️Ⓜ️ (@KalElTDBN) reported@coinbase outages during critical market moments are exactly why people should seriously reconsider leaving centralized exchanges altogether. If your access to your assets can be interrupted by infrastructure failures, then you don’t truly control your money. CEX platforms were useful onboarding tools, but the future belongs to decentralized systems where users hold custody, liquidity is distributed, and no single company failure can lock millions out at once. This is why projects like @MetallicusTDBN and true DEX infrastructure matter. Real crypto was never meant to depend on one company, one server room, or one point of failure. “Not your keys, not your crypto” keeps proving itself over and over again. $XPR $METAL $LOAN $MTL $XMD

Bull Crypto🚀 (@FlorinLunc) reportedis anyone having problem with coinbase ? i just bought $Sol and i dont see my deposite ?

Eric Van Tassel (Not a Financial Advisor!) (@XRPathologist) reportedNow you see why I like setups like these! However, because of the continued @Coinbase problems with Amazon, they were down early in the AM and I couldn't execute my entry. Has cost me $700 so far! They really do need to get their act together!! So, this is a good example to indicate how important it is not to revenge trade. Price has left the area I wanted to enter so I can not chase this green candle. I'll wait for a pullback or structure retest. **** happens but NEVER revenge trade!

Oracle | Web Developer (@DevOracle01) reportedLook at Coinbase. A multi-billion dollar company handling billions in volume. What do you see when you land on their site? “Buy and sell crypto.” That’s it. No noise. No jargon. No trying to impress developers. And guess what? They onboard millions of users because of that simplicity.
