Some Coinbase users are currently experiencing a temporary disruption that will prevent them from buying, selling, or transferring digital assets on Coinbase.com.
The issue was first reported by the platform on social media and caused concern among traders, but the company has reassured customers that all funds are safe.
Coinbase users will be unable to trade due to temporary service interruption
Coinbase, the largest US-based cryptocurrency exchange, acknowledged the confusion in a statement on its official Twitter support channel, saying:
“We acknowledge that customers may not be able to buy, sell, or send money on Coinbase.com at this time. Our team is investigating this issue and will provide you with updates. Your funds are safe,” the exchange shared in a post.
The company emphasized that the outage is temporary and there is no sign of long-term risk to user accounts or funds. Updates will be provided as the investigation progresses.
Community trackers and crypto news accounts, including Milk Road, quickly picked up the report and echoed Coinbase’s statement.

While the cause of the disruption is not yet clear, Coinbase’s quick approval reflects the platform’s focus on transparency amid increased scrutiny of the credibility of cryptocurrency exchanges.
Although temporary exchange outages are relatively rare, they can have a knock-on effect on trading activity and market sentiment, especially during periods of high user or market volatility.
Some users took to social media to express their dissatisfaction, noting that the temporary inability to execute trades could affect active positions. However, experts note that such disruptions are often resolved in the short term and do not usually result in financial losses, especially if the exchange actively secures users’ funds.
Coinbase’s engineering and customer support teams are reportedly working to resolve the issue as soon as possible. The platform’s official channels encourage users to be patient and monitor real-time information updates regarding service restoration.
