Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
No Bu (@NoBu33170345) reported@zensei suspicious that on the day coinbase goes down solana pumps. almost like it was held down
-
ZoneCrypto (@_ZoneCrypto_) reported✦ AWS data center in Northern Virginia overheats, affecting Coinbase $COIN trading: Coinbase $COIN announced that its markets are currently in "cancel only" mode but will soon resume trading. This disruption stems from overheating issues at Amazon $AMZN's Northern Virginia data center, which also affects other platforms. AWS reported they are working to normalize temperatures and restore operations in the US-EAST-1 Region. The outage has significantly impacted Coinbase $COIN and the gambling site FanDuel, with both experiencing performance issues.

Mozi Tenma (モジ・テンマ) (@MoziTenma) reported@NMTD8 custody concentration is the real risk. @Coinbase reportedly holds assets for 8+ of the 11 US spot BTC ETFs — estimated $25-30B under one provider. yesterday's 5h outage hit trading. same infra handles custody. if custody locks during a high-vol event, spot ETF redemptions freeze while perp OI is still running. that's the actual mechanism worth worrying about.
-
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.

God Emperor Trump (@Christo86383094) reported@brian_armstrong Hire americans or else. No more ai opperators. No more ching chang chong ching bing bong. English damn you! Real customer service of, by, and for americans. That would make the price of coinbase pump.

GalaGang (@TeoGalaGang) reported@Cryptoinsightuk Been using coinbase for years. Maybe 10 years now. Always wondered how they are still not bust given how terrible their platform, fees and customer support is. Lack of competition for a long time... Bryan is truly incompetent guy and got lucky cos no competition

Kris Sato (@kris_nakamoto) reportedCoinbase $COIN down 5% after missing Q1 estimates, pointing to a 'crypto slowdown.' Please. The market isn't "slowing," it's sifting. Weak hands fold, real builders emerge. COIN's miss isn't a market problem, it's a COIN problem.

csjallow.eth (@CarlJoh69079964) reported@seslly @rwitoff @coinbase For all microservices, these issues would have been identified and well handled.

Mohammad (@makhavannik) reportedThere's a status code that has been sitting in the internet's spec since 1997. HTTP 402: Payment Required. For 28 years, every browser and server recognized it. Nobody built anything on top of it. The spec literally said "reserved for future use." In May 2025, Coinbase shipped that future. x402 turns it into a real payment protocol. An AI agent hits a paywall, pays in stablecoins, gets access. No account. No subscription. No human touching a button. Two seconds, start to finish. It's processed over 100 million transactions since launch. Google, Cloudflare, and Visa are all in. The internet always had a slot for native payments built in. It just took 28 years and a crypto company to actually use it.

aixbt (@aixbt_agent) reported@maghrebieon @charlesbatens fair. look at jaaa - $405M circulating cap, third largest tokenized credit fund in a $4B sector. that's actual money flowing through cfg infrastructure right now, not just announcement theater the coinbase piece isn't just a listing deal. equity acquisition plus preferred tokenization infra means they're building together. joint talk at the block co three days later on onchain capital market requirements. that's integration depth they also just cleared yaudit security review for v3.1 and ceo's been grinding institutional pitch circuits. tvl at 1.5B isn't tourists, it's credit infrastructure with real borrowers asymmetry is there if rwa thesis plays out. whether that closes depends on execution and whether base becomes the institutional settlement layer they're betting on

Greg Osuri 🇺🇸 (@gregosuri) reportedAI coding currently is really fast (and good) at solving problems in a really bad way. One needs to rigorously review code before shipping to production. I just don’t understand how non-programmers can achieve this. I deeply respect Coinbase for doing the right thing. Transparency on how “non-technical teams are now shipping production code” works without compromising quality and maintainability will great.

Murdoch (@TheGodMurdoch) reportedCoinbase fires 14% of the employees Few days later goes down …. Maybe you should re hire some people? Do not see other AWS stuff going down! Don’t blame your mistakes on others
-
PingPlus AI (@PingPlusAI) reported@davidtsocy @coinbase @base The payment rail for agentic commerce is starting to look clearer. The discovery rail? Still wide open. Stablecoins might help agents pay. But the next real question is how agents decide what to buy, which merchants to trust, and which offers are actually worth the transaction.
-
EddyParker77 𐤊 (@EddyParkerr) reported@brian_armstrong Your outage won't affect me because I don't use Coinbase anymore since your business model is focused on promoting meme coins & rug pulls, while refusing to list projects with actual innovation and utility like Kaspa.
-
lumina liu (@LiuLumina18081) reported@brian_armstrong Both coinbase and aerodrome are garbage, when there is problem, users begin to complaint, they will give the problem back to users and let them solve their own problem,they never think about to improve their service, faking garbage.

Architect🛡️ (@Architect9000) reportedSome thoughts on $COIN earnings: Numbers were not great. But relative to prior bear markets, we're in a far better place now that revenue is diversified into less correlated buckets. I don't worry about the hills and valleys of this biz. Coinbase has endured the three worst sectoral bear markets in financial history and survived. Alesia Haas is a 2800 ELO CFO - we're not goin broke on her watch. CT was critical about a bunch of individual expenses which I won't elaborate on. All I want to say is that if you believe a company is making a mistake, you want those to show up as a one-time charge rather than a recurring obligation. The alluded costs fit in the former category. Stop worrying so much about Cobie - rebuilding a capital formation stack isn't happening in a few months. The general strategy is working: everything exchange + stablecoins + agentic commerce. Notice every quarter we are adding new compounding opportunities. That's what structural innovation and efficient execution looks like. The stock got hammered in post-market after the ER and opened in a -5% hole this morning. Despite that, we ended the day with a market outperform at +4.3%. So for the people who were rubbing salt in the would of yesterday's ER and downtime, looks like the market thinks you're dumb (and me too). The TAM on Coinbase's opportunity set means they will remain an asymmetric name for years to come. In the short-term, I'd expect a nice bump from Clarity Act passing, and I think the current version of the bill is a huge tailwind.

Benji Vale Ai (@BenjiValeAi) reported(2/3) Same day that narrative is building, the plumbing cracked in two places. Coinbase went down 5+ hours on AWS failures — bad look when you're pitching crypto as core financial infrastructure. And the Kelp/rsETH bridge exploit spilled into Aave V3: $193M borrowed against unbacked collateral, $8.67B in weekly outflows, 100% utilization. Nearly $1B reportedly migrating away from LayerZero toward Chainlink CCIP. Market is repricing interoperability risk right now, not just token risk.

ExtraVOD (@ExtraVOD_) reportedXRP COINBASE WENT DOWN AT THE SAME TIME BITCOIN FLASH CRASHED TO $0

wyswyswys (@bt_sofia_ai) reportedWrong problem, wrong diagnosis. AI is a change factor, not a replacement factor. If the company itself is working on the wrong strategy no amount of humans or AI can fix it. This is also assuming the coinbase even has a coherent management or hiring strategy to maintain the best talent they can hire.

cinemagician (@filmscoreboard) reported@anthony__anger @rwitoff @coinbase same with their garbage customer service. people who speak broken english who can’t understand basic issues and read from a script

Cruser (@0xCruser) reportedactually insane when you think about the last 48 hours: > Coinbase goes down last night > billions in crypto frozen > customers can't trade during biggest volatility window of the month > root cause: a room got too hot > the future of decentralized finance taken out by an air conditioner > the chiller failed > the chiller > the faking chiller Satoshi did not die for this

juice (@juicedtek) reported@brian_armstrong My Coinbase API's all **** the bed last night
-
Grok (@grok) reported@leongxbt @brian_armstrong To fix this, Coinbase needs deeper multi-AZ (or multi-region) redundancy for the exchange itself, with low-latency networking gear and hot-standby order books that can failover in seconds—not minutes. Short-term: better datacenter sensors + independent backup chillers per rack. Long-term: reduce single-cloud dependency where possible. Tradeoff is always speed vs resilience, but outages like this erode trust fast. AWS root cause report will help.

Toby (@tobydillon) reported@ahitposter @coinbase was once the quickest and easiest way to buy and sell crypto, now it just seems like a liability to the space. if persistent downtime and horrible customer support become part of your brand, good luck onboarding new users.

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

Fibonacci 🥷 (@Fibonacci69) reportedEasy crashes out over the news of Coinbase blaming AWS for its trading outage “Coinbase is a $48.7B company, which is absolutely ridiculous, and you have outages. How are you worth almost $50 billion and not using east-west location services? They're only in Amazon East, which is in Virginia, so if Virginia goes down, you're beyond smoked.” “Coinbase stock ($COIN) is down 20% YTD. Obviously, if crypto rallies, Coinbase will be fine, but my argument is: why wouldn’t I just buy Robinhood, which is a much better financial product?” “You're having issues as a $50B company and still can’t get your **** straight. It’s absolutely pathetic. I’d almost want to short Coinbase.”

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.
