Coinbase Crashes Again As Bitcoin Hits New High Then Plummets
- Coinbase suffered another outage as Bitcoin hit a new all-time high price before collapsing, a pattern seen in previous Bitcoin price runs
- Users reported errors related to trading, deposits, and withdrawals during the frenzy and peak Bitcoin pricing
- The Coinbase BTC price diverged from other exchanges, with a "flash crash" down to $59k right after the new ATH of $69k
- Crypto Twitter reacted, noting the regularity of Coinbase crashes during Bitcoin bull runs as a sign of increased interest and volume
- Coinbase has an estimated 110 million monthly users compared to 128 million on Binance, so larger user bases don't prevent outages
