Who controls your next transfer? Case #nubank !

The balance appears in the app. You tap “withdraw,” and the transfer is unavailable. That’s what happened on Friday, when Nubank and Mercado Pago temporarily suspended crypto asset transactions.

This Saturday, Nubank said withdrawals and deposits had resumed at 10 p.m. the previous evening. The bank attributed the interruption to instability at an external data provider and said customers’ assets remained protected. Mercado Pago also cited an incident at an external provider responsible for risk-monitoring services.

The episode highlights a practical difference between having a balance and being able to move it when you need to. On a custodial platform, a withdrawal may go through internal checks and third-party services before the transaction reaches the blockchain. Even when the network is working normally, a failure at this stage can interrupt the transfer.

If a withdrawal is pending, it’s worth checking whether the app has made the transaction identifier, known as a TXID, available. With it, you can check a network explorer to see whether the transaction was recorded and how many confirmations it has received. If the app hasn’t displayed the identifier yet, the operation status and the platform’s official channels are the places to start when tracking the transfer.

Self-custody changes who controls the movement of assets. With a wallet whose keys you control, you can initiate a transfer without depending on withdrawal approval from the app where you bought the crypto.

In return, you take responsibility for protecting your keys and checking the address and network before sending.
When evaluating a crypto service, it’s worth adding one question alongside the fees and available assets.

🎯 Latin America’s two biggest digital banks hit a snag at the same time

📰 Nubank and Mercado Pago paused some crypto deposits and withdrawals for exactly the same reason: an external verification provider went down. They’d just lost $6.3 billion last week.

💬 This detail really stings. What’s called compliant deposits and withdrawals essentially means handing the keys to a third party you can’t even see. One cough from them and the whole chain goes down. Check the channel you’re using—which layer is it?

🚨 NUBANK AND MERCADO PAGO SUSPEND CRYPTOCURRENCY TRANSFERS

Two major Brazilian financial platforms announced temporary restrictions on the movement of digital assets this Friday (06/11).

🔹 NUBANK

Suspended direct cryptocurrency deposits and withdrawals following an outage at an external data provider.

According to the institution, the issue did not occur in its infrastructure, customers’ assets and information remain protected, and other crypto services continue to operate.

🔹 MERCADO PAGO

Preventively blocked some transfers to external wallets following an incident involving a risk-monitoring and anti-money-laundering provider.

Incoming deposits may be delayed, but the company says they will be credited once services return to normal. Buying and selling remain available.

🔐 WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

The incident highlights financial institutions’ reliance on specialized providers to verify and monitor blockchain transactions.

⚠️ At the time the statements were issued, there was no confirmed timeline for a full return to normal. The institutions did not publicly identify the provider responsible, so the disruptions cannot be attributed to a specific attack.

Customers should check official channels before making new transfers.

📅 Information published on 06/11/2026. Exact time of the statements: unconfirmed.

🎯 $6.3 billion stolen, payment giants shut the gates first

📰 Last week, Binance was hacked for $6.3 billion. This week, Nubank and Mercado Pago paused some crypto services, citing issues with an external provider.

💬 The provider so much as sneezes, and the fiat on-ramps shut first. Pretty wild: the on-chain situation hasn’t even been figured out, but the channels are already gone, leaving retail users waiting around.

🔔 Nubank announced today that it has temporarily suspended cryptocurrency deposits and withdrawals in Brazil due to an outage at an external service provider; other crypto asset operations are unaffected. 🛡️ Meanwhile, Mercado Pago said that a security incident affecting its risk-monitoring and anti-money-laundering provider caused instability in some crypto asset transfers. To mitigate risks, it has blocked some transfers to external wallets.

These two incidents highlight that the third-party service chains platforms rely on remain potential weak points. Although Nubank has only suspended deposits and withdrawals, user assets remain secure under normal operating conditions; Mercado Pago’s restrictions may affect demand for cross-chain or cross-platform liquidity.

❓ In this situation, would you prefer to use a self-custody wallet, or continue trusting platforms’ built-in services?

This is not investment advice.

EXTERNAL SUPPLIER OUTAGE DISRUPTS CRYPTO SERVICES IN BRAZIL

Nubank (NuCripto) and Mercado Pago temporarily suspended cryptocurrency deposits, withdrawals, and transfers following instability at external data and monitoring providers.

The institutions say their internal systems and customers’ assets remain protected. Buying and selling through the apps remain available.

The incident highlights platforms’ dependence on outsourced infrastructure: a failure outside the exchange can also interrupt essential services.

Meanwhile, Mercado Bitcoin said it had blocked more than US$ 15 million in assets related to the attack it suffered on November 2. The company is preparing a gradual resumption, initially allowing account viewing only on 9/11.

Is the crypto market prepared to deal with risks that go beyond price volatility?
