Coinbase experienced service disruptions after elevated temperatures impacted an AWS US-EAST-1 data center, temporarily affecting platform operations and trading activity. The exchange stated that systems are being restored carefully, with trading expected to resume initially through “Cancel Only” mode a precautionary step allowing users to cancel existing orders before full market functionality returns. The incident highlights how even major crypto platforms remain vulnerable to underlying infrastructure disruptions tied to centralized cloud providers. While recovery appears underway, the outage briefly exposed the fragile intersection between decentralized finance services and the traditional systems quietly powering them behind the scenes.
