About Coinbase outages
Coinbase is a major cryptocurrency exchange with a well-known failure pattern: it has historically struggled precisely during extreme market volatility, when trading demand spikes hardest and users most want access.
Coinbase publishes official incident updates at its status page — worth checking alongside our live test above.
Coinbase FAQ
Why does Coinbase go down when crypto prices move fast?
Volatile markets multiply Coinbase’s traffic within minutes as everyone trades at once, overwhelming order and pricing systems. Degraded trading during price swings is the platform’s most repeated incident type, documented across its status history.
Are my funds safe if Coinbase is down?
An outage affects access, not custody — balances are recorded in Coinbase’s ledgers and are not lost when the app errors. The real risk is being unable to trade during the window, which is worth planning for if you trade actively.
Is Coinbase down for everyone or just me?
We test Coinbase (https://coinbase.com) live from our own servers. If our check succeeds but you still can't connect, the outage is probably local to you — try another network or device, clear your cache, or check Coinbase's official status channels.
