The company acknowledged that some customers were unable to carry out transactions and stated that its technical team was actively investigating the problem while preparing additional updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shortly afterward, Coinbase confirmed it had identified the source of the disruption as an AWS service outage. The exchange again emphasized that customer assets were safe despite the temporary service degradation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company later announced that it had begun working to restore trading functionality across its markets. However, until normal operations resumed, all Coinbase markets were switched to \u201cCancel Only\u201d mode, meaning users could only cancel existing orders rather than place new trades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the broader outage affected the platform, Coinbase had already reported separate issues involving Solana transfers and delays affecting ALEO transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Outage Occurs Amid Coinbase Workforce Reduction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The disruption came shortly after Coinbase revealed plans to reduce its global workforce by 14%. The company cited ongoing cryptocurrency market volatility and the increasing integration of artificial intelligence into its operations as key reasons behind the layoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CEO Brian Armstrong explained that advances in AI technology are enabling smaller teams to perform tasks that previously required significantly larger workforces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coinbase\u2019s use of third party cloud services such as AWS is common among major cryptocurrency exchanges. However, incidents like this often highlight the operational risks associated with relying heavily on external infrastructure providers.#crypto#cryptonews <a href=\"https:\/\/coinsignals.net\">https:\/\/coinsignals.net<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/coinsignalpublic\">https:\/\/t.me\/coinsignalpublic<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some users of Coinbase encountered difficulties accessing services and completing transactions after a disruption linked to Amazon Web Services (AWS) affected the platform\u2019s operations.
