Around 8 p.m. ET, Coinbase systems flagged high error rates across multiple services before tracing the disruption to failures tied to an AWS availability zone in the US-EAST-1 Region.<\/p>\n<p>The <span>crypto<\/span> firm noted its systems were designed to withstand a single-zone outage and recover quickly, but the disruption expanded beyond the exchange\u2019s expected single-zone recovery conditions. Users experienced trading interruptions while AWS teams worked to restore temperature controls and related Amazon Managed Services. Coinbase Support stated in a May 8 post on X:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWe observed failures impacting multiple AWS zones, which caused an extended outage of core trading services.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The outage followed the <span>crypto<\/span> exchange\u2019s May 7 first-quarter earnings release, which <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/coinbase-reports-8-6-record-market-share-and-200-million-derivatives-revenue\/\">highlighted<\/a> record <span>crypto<\/span> <span>trading volume<\/span> market share, $202 billion in quarterly <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-trading-volume\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">trading volume<\/a>, and annualized retail derivatives revenue above $200 million. The Nasdaq-listed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/a-quick-introduction-to-crypto\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">crypto<\/a> firm also reported $294 billion in assets held on the platform during the quarter.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier updates from Coinbase linked the disruption to increased temperatures in the affected Availability Zone, use1-az4. The company said trading would be re-enabled gradually by first placing all markets into \u201cCancel Only\u201d mode before restoring full trading access. Coinbase later posted at 3:48 a.m. on May 8 that all markets had been re-enabled for trading on Coinbase Exchange.<\/p>\n<h2>Coinbase Continues Review After Trading Service Disruption<\/h2>\n<p>After service was restored, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/a-quick-introduction-to-crypto\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">crypto<\/a> exchange reported the primary issue had been fully resolved.
