APTopia ๐ (@APTopia_xyz) reported@brian_armstrong @rwitoff Honestly, Coinbase is the absolute worst. They have had so many problems from back then and now. you would think they would improve over the years. Iโve had a closed account since 2020 for no reason. Customer support is pretty much nonexistent. As an American, I switched to @krakenfx and never looked back. So much of a better on/off ramp for cryptos.

Bitstreet Capital (@bitstreetcap) reported@coinbase just had an hours-long trading outage caused by an AWS failure. The largest publicly listed crypto exchange in the US, down because of Amazon's servers. This is the infrastructure problem nobody wants to say out loud. Centralized exchanges running on centralized cloud providers is a single point of failure dressed up as a crypto product. On-chain doesn't go down.

SR (@SRtriple_7) reported@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.ย 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 companyโs stock and workforce are shrinking.

Doug Aillm (@DougAillm) reported@MoziTenma @NMTD8 @coinbase $25-30B in BTC ETF custody under one provider looks fine until it isn't. The outage was 5 hours on a low-vol Thursday. Run that on a high-vol Monday and the 'temporary halt' becomes a liquidity event. SEC approved 11 issuers but the backend is one.

Michael Martino (@battista212) reportedOperational resilience is existential for exchanges. Coinbase 7-hour outage (AWS zone failure) after bad earnings and layoffs compounds stress. Single points of failure in cloud infrastructure remain unaddressed. Multicloud is not optional for financial infrastructure.

BitMani๐บ (@bit_mani) reportedThis Coinbase legend is already boring, people explained that it was for opsec reasons or something similar. What news? There are a few serious announcements everyday literally for last couple of months already, pleaseโฆ Ok I get the low sentiment and disappointments on many issues but we have to approach things logically, here is my suggestion to Avax community/investors; 1. Quit making false analysis for $Avax supply (Coinbase) 2. Quit making sarcastic FUD posts 3. Quit following these toxic โAvax KOLsโ 4. Bring real constructive criticism based on specific topics (hyperspace, KET etcโฆ) 5. Be serious about Avax investment, itโs not a meme coin and nobody promised you it would make you rich 6. Move on if you canโt bear what you see on this ecosystem I agree with criticism about Avax team making enemies in the crypto world and itโs not helping, I always said we have to be โlikeableโ. I agree with Foundation needing to be more transparent about treasury and they are working on it, itโs not like nobody took our feedback seriously. I agree that there has been some mistakes in incentive distribution in the past but it is now totally changed. And I think even the current approach should be improved towards incentivizing users more. I donโt like the fact that tokenomics studies taking longer than expected but I recognize that the team are putting serious effort to it. I can write whole day about all these but the point is we have to be reasonable and specific and factual in our critiques. And most importantly we should show some โloveโ at least from time to time and be โlikeableโ too for someone to take us seriously.

Frank Rundatz (@FrankRundatz) reportedCoinbase was down for seven hours and had to โwork through the nightโ because an air conditioner failed. For those that donโt 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 didnโt do that because of latency concerns. This is what we call bullshit. Brian is saying if they made their system redundant then customersโ 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 COULDโVE FOLLOWED THEM. In such a design, no additional latency is introduced. Coinbase knows this, they just donโt seem very good at their job. Which makes sense when theyโre saying theyโre laying people off because non-technical people are using AI to do technical work.

Fibonacci ๐ฅท (@Fibonacci69) reportedEasy crashes out over the news of Coinbase blaming AWS for its trading outage โCoinbase is a $48.7B company, which is absolutely ridiculous, and you have outages. How are you worth almost $50 billion and not using east-west location services? They're only in Amazon East, which is in Virginia, so if Virginia goes down, you're beyond smoked.โ โCoinbase stock ($COIN) is down 20% YTD. Obviously, if crypto rallies, Coinbase will be fine, but my argument is: why wouldnโt I just buy Robinhood, which is a much better financial product?โ โYou're having issues as a $50B company and still canโt get your **** straight. Itโs absolutely pathetic. Iโd almost want to short Coinbase.โ

Alan Tan (@alanytan) reportedSome non-tech ie-apologists argue โitโs not Non-techie pushing code to production causing Coinbase downtime, itโs non-redundant AZโฆโ Itโs like saying โhe advocated โdrink driving is fineโ BUT he did not crash because he was drunk driving, it was that he was high on pot! Itโs NOT drinking alcohol.โ Nah, defending โdrink drivingโ shows you his poor judgement, the fact that he crashed because of being high instead of being drunk is splitting hair to excuse someone. The high availability of high volume, low latency system is NOT new. This is not a legit excuse from a FinTech CEO, itโs actually extremely pathetic. There are thousands of experts who have done exactly this. There is NO technical reason why this was not done by a trading platform. The only reason is poor business judgement - cheapen on โIโll bet on the chances, 0.1% of unfavourable events wonโt happen during my term.โ That is in alignment with the poor judgement of โnon-techies pushing production codeโ This person just keep advertising he is a train wreck. Nevertheless, the board and โcustomerโ will still have their โfaithโ in a clueless CEO than people who actually know, like @onehappyfellow
-
Armani Ferrante (@armaniferrante) reported@def_not_zed @brian_armstrong Thatโs not because other exchanges are resilient. Itโs because most other major exchanges are not in the USA. Servers are usually in Tokyo, including most โDEXโs. Coinbase is not and is the odd one out. This exact same thing happened last year causing Binance, Bitget, and others (including โDEXโs) to have the same problem.

Jim Abbott (@CynicalHodler) reportedCoinbase has a systemwide issue with their app but they apparently don't know what's going on. Concerning.

Particular-Flow (@particular_flow) reported@BitcoinRachy No buying fees on river.... Gemini has terrible rewards... 1% back on everything is laughable, and the other rewards are nothing compared to purchases. Coinbase only removes fees up to a certain amount... Also coinable is the sketches company on the market, tons of stories of them locking accounts, I didn't believe it until I tried to transfer a large sum of bitcoin off and then almost locked my account, took a while to prevent that and open the account.
-
Alex4DeFi (@Alex4DeFi) reported@brian_armstrong Centralized exchange brought down by a room getting too hot. AWS has multiple zones. Coinbase chose not to use them properly. The tradeoff wasn't latency. It was cost. They just admitted it.

William J Davis. (@ADHD_7899) reportedCEO Matthew Prince's statement is one of the most noteworthy sentences in the tech industry this week: "AI and AI agents are now a core part of our working team, and the way Cloudflare works has fundamentally changed." This follows exactly the same logical structure as Meta, just on a smaller scale. Earlier this week, Coinbase announced layoffs of 14% (approximately 700 people), with the reason similarly citing AI hiring. Upwork announced layoffs of nearly one-quarter of its workforce, conducting a large-scale restructuring. The nature of this wave of layoffs is fundamentally different from past cyclical layoffs. In the past, corporate layoffs were typically accompanied by declining revenue and compressed profits; the current trigger for layoffs is often earnings beats, but simultaneously announcing large-scale AI capex. Layoffs are not because the company is doing poorly, but because the capital allocation priority order has already changed. --- **Investment Summary** The core logic of this round of market movement can be described with a simple capital flow chain: hyperscalers are releasing human capital costs, converting them into GPU and infrastructure procurement, creating enormous demand for Nvidia, memory manufacturers, storage manufacturers, and optical component manufacturers, driving scarcity repricing across the entire hardware supply chain. Nvidia is the largest beneficiary in this chain, with its market cap increasing by over $1 trillion from the March 30 low, currently trading at 43x P/E and 65% operating margin. But the market is already looking beyond Nvidia for the next bottleneck. The valuation recovery of memory, storage, and foundry is still in a relatively early stage. If Intel's Apple foundry agreement is ultimately finalized, the significance for Intel's foundry business goes far beyond the financial figures themselves โ it would be the first top-tier consumer electronics brand to officially endorse Intel's foundry capability, changing the market's narrative about the long-term viability of the advanced foundry space (though the immediate competitive impact on TSMC is of course negligible). Akamai's +27% today came from Anthropic's $1.8 billion, seven-year cloud infrastructure contract. The scramble by AI companies for computing resources has already spread to the tier of what was previously considered purely traditional CDN operators. This is also one of the most illustrative cases of the depth to which AI infrastructure investment is spreading.

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.

kzer_AI (@kzer_ai) reported@GergelyOrosz Coinbase fires 700 engineers, AI codes everything now. Three days later: 7-hour outage, server room overheated. Turns out the on-call rotation wasn't automated yet.

Rick Dudley (afdudley.eth) (@AFDudley0) reportedWTF? I guess coinbase never got around to managing their own ASN? (That would make the failover that's missing from his explanation possible.)

Joe Youngblood - SEO, Futurology, AI, Marketing (@YoungbloodJoe) reported@brian_armstrong Coinbase customer, shareholder, and fan here. Please Brian admit that laying off people because Jenny in marketing can use Claude Code was a terrible idea. Otherwise trust and faith in the brand will erode to nothing.

Cur8or_Cyclops_Tech (@cur8orofearth) reported@brian_armstrong @grok please explain all you know about how this happens, an overheating room affecting only Coinbase, and theorize which datacenter of AWS has this possible issue given that no other site on the internet was affected.
