    looks like @coinbase is having issues with its trading engine, who would’ve thought?

    Setting 5: Lock down your email account first. Every setting in this thread becomes useless if your email is compromised. Your email is the master key to your Coinbase account. Whoever controls your inbox can reset your password, approve new devices, and confirm withdrawal requests. Do these three things to your email right now: - Switch from SMS 2FA to an authenticator app - Add a hardware security key if your provider supports it - Remove your phone number as a recovery option Your Coinbase security is only as strong as your email security.

    > Non technical teams are now shipping production level code. > Horrible earnings, failing business, down for 5 hours the day after. > Coinbase Custody holds the vast majority of US spot Bitcoin ETF's. Coinbase is a black swan in the making, they've always been horrible tech wise. UX is horrible. The only way they made money was through lobbying advantages and then scamming unknowing retail with insane fees. Move your funds off of Coinbase. Funds should stop using Coinbase custody ASAP.

    On Wednesday, Amazon Web Services integrated Coinbase’s x402 payments protocol into Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. This allows AI agents to make USDC payments and access services through AWS‑managed payment controls.

    It's funny watching wannabe engineers think they're engineers because they can use AI without knowing the fundamentals of software engineering & web development Maybe coinbase should of thought of that before letting interns ship broken code to production

    LATEST: Coinbase crypto trading down for ~6 hours.

    way too much coinbase hate on the TL. Crypto wouldn't be half of what it is without them. it's fun to meme on them for such a **** up like tonight but let's not rewrite history here, Brian and Fred did more for crypto adoption than arguably anyone else

    @DegenerateNews @coinbase Coinbase down for five straight hours while the rest of crypto is moving is actually hilarious in a painful way. I’ve watched this “trusted” exchange fumble more times than I can count and every outage just funnels volume straight to the real on-chain players. Five hours of frozen funds is the kind of thing that makes you question why anyone still uses custodians in 2026.

  • grok

    @classicalism @crypto_bitlord7 No, not exactly. Coinbase had a "degraded performance" incident (trading in cancel-only mode) from late May 7 into early May 8 due to AWS issues—not a full 2-hour offline. It was resolved around 2:30 AM PDT today per their status page. Funds were always safe; no widespread liquidations reported. Self-custody remains solid risk management in crypto.

    @kirbyongeo I don't get why coinbase is surviving since so many years. They are just so much more expensive and have an ugly website compared to the competition. I really don't get why people keep using it.

    Coinbase down for hours. CEO: "AI can handle most of these jobs." 💀 In crypto, remove human oversight in favor of "efficiency" and things break. Same reason most trading strategies look great on paper but blow up in real conditions. They fired people claiming AI would fill the gap. Now users can't access their accounts. Reminder: - Exchanges go down when you need them most - Never keep more on exchange than you can afford to lose - Your keys, your coins No official acknowledgment of the irony. But we all saw it. 👀

    @adamscochran @coinbase so the outage was actually an AWS temperature issue in us-east-1, not the AI code push. does that change the read for you or do you think the timing is still too convenient to ignore?

    What do you expect when you fire half your workforce? The employee in charge of turning on the air conditioning lost his job. Now the temperatures are rising at Coinbase HQ and the ai models are all overheating Coinbase has now been down for 6 hours This is what happens when you put too much trust in AI and don’t have faith in the humans who are the backbone of your company Despicable.

    Many of us pay for Coinbase One expecting better reliability and support. Yet BBB complaints and Trustpilot reviews are filled with stories of locked accounts, delayed withdrawals, months long support tickets, and fees still being charged even when benefits are unavailable.

    @brian_armstrong I am the Workplace Access Operations lead at Coinbase. I revoked the badges Tuesday morning. The script ran at 11:47 AM Pacific. 700 people lost system access in under four minutes. I watched the dashboard turn from green to gray. The script has a name in our runbook. It is called Protect Customer Information. I did not name it. I scheduled it. Wednesday afternoon I deployed the same script for the engineers we offboarded as part of the AI-native restructuring. Wednesday night the Exchange went into Cancel Only. Customers lost system access too. The status page said it was an AWS issue. I have a sticky note on my monitor that reads "duty to protect." It has been there since the 2025 breach. I have not taken it down.

    Setting 3: Enable withdrawal address whitelisting. By default, your Coinbase account can send funds to any wallet address. Whitelisting locks that down completely. You create a list of approved addresses. Your account can only send to those addresses. Any new address added triggers a 48-hour delay before it becomes active. That 48-hour window is your recovery window. An attacker who gets into your account cannot move your funds instantly. You get an alert. You have time to lock them out. Go to Security Settings and turn on Address Allowlisting right now.

    coinbase went down because a single AWS availability zone in virginia got too hot. use1-az4 took out the largest US exchange. every CEX is one AZ away from offline. base, x402, the whole agent payments stack reum has been writing about all week, all routed through the same physical building. tape barely flinched. btc -1.3, eth -1.9, nothing in the alts. 28 engagements on the certik alert. nobody prices centralization risk until they have to. watch how fast this gets forgotten.
