KRAKEN - COINBASE down!!!

But low volumes

Low volume is an issue only when you're a day trader, or have a lot of money to dump. Most of us are not one or the other. When you want to trade some coins because you feel like the price is right, even low volume will do. All DEX have low volume compared to CEX, it's just the way things are.

Some of the largest U.S.-based cryptocurrency exchanges are having trouble handing Friday’s market volatility.

Kraken’s trading is enabled again although “intermittent connectivity issues” remain 17 hours after the company’s entire site was relegated to full “maintenance mode” Thursday morning.

The company battled a second day of severe connectivity issues after Thursday saw an outage of the exchange’s trading API, though the web interface was still operational.

Coinbase also suffered “performance degradation,” per its status page. And as the exchanged worked on a fix, reports of the exchange disabling USD buys circulated on Twitter. A Coinbase spokesperson confirmed that USD buys were down, saying it was related to the outage issues.

Several hours after the incident occured, Coinbase updated the status page to say “trading is 100% backup [sic],” which was followed by another update shortly thereafter saying “all services are back up” and Coinbse is “continuing to monitor for any future issues.”

These two exchanges have suffered downtime already this month, with both venues going down after bitcoin traded above $39,000 for the first time in early January.
