Crypto exchanges face major disruption

On the morning of April 15, Binance and several other crypto services faced a large-scale failure. The platforms suspended operations, but by 12:00 Moscow time, functionality was partially restored, writes RBC Crypto.

Binance was the first to report problems with some services amid a temporary network failure at the Amazon Web Services (AWS) data center: some transactions on the trading platform were processed with errors. The crypto exchange said it was working with AWS to fix the problem and temporarily suspended withdrawals “for security reasons.”

Later, Binance announced that the platform was back online: withdrawals are available again, but some services may be delayed until the system is fully stabilized. Binance said that they are monitoring the situation.

At the same time, the KuCoin exchange reported technical problems amid a large-scale AWS failure. The company announced temporary interruptions in the platform's operation and noted that all user assets are safe.

The AWS outage also affected the MEXC exchange: the platform team reported problems with charts, order cancellations, and asset transfers on the spot. Futures trading is not affected. Users were promised compensation for possible losses caused by the outage.

In addition, the crypto wallet Rabby Wallet has notified about limited availability. The service team stated that it is actively monitoring the situation and will restore work as soon as possible. User balances and assets are not affected.

The failure also affected the popular crypto analytics service DeBank. The project reported that its work is currently suspended, and the team is monitoring the situation and will restore operations as soon as possible.
