- Outages affected leading crypto trading apps Coinbase and Robinhood Monday morning due to issues at Amazon Web Services (AWS).
- Both platforms initially reported that problems were resolved before markets opened, but new disruptions followed.
- AWS confirmed internal service failures were “fully mitigated,” but said some systems could still be slowed as full recovery continued.
- Retail users reported problems completing trades on the Robinhood app during the outage window.
- Despite technical issues, shares of Robinhood and Coinbase, as well as Bitcoin, rose alongside the broader market recovery.
Leading digital asset trading apps Coinbase and Robinhood experienced new outages in morning trading on Monday. The disruption was traced to technical issues at Amazon Web Services (AWS), which the apps rely on for Hosting their operational infrastructure.
Both Coinbase and Robinhood had previously stated that technical problems had been resolved before the opening bell. However, customers soon faced renewed delays. Coinbase posted on its status page: “We are aware that customers may be experiencing delayed transfers at this time. Our team is continuing to investigate this issue and will provide an update.”
Robinhood initially announced restored service but later acknowledged ongoing issues due to AWS disruptions. In a statement posted to X, Robinhood said: “Robinhood services are impacted due to issues at AWS, one of our third-party vendors. We’re working to resolve this ASAP.”
AWS reported on Monday morning that its internal failures had been “fully mitigated,” while cautioning that some services might still experience slower performance during the recovery process. Both Coinbase and Robinhood rely on AWS cloud infrastructure, underlining the vulnerability of decentralized financial platforms to centralized service outages.
Retail traders reported difficulty executing trades on Robinhood during the downtime. Despite service interruptions, shares of Robinhood gained over 6% and Coinbase rising by more than 5% midday as equity and crypto markets rallied. The price of Bitcoin increased by nearly 3%, surpassing $111,000.
Market sentiment for Robinhood remained broadly positive, while sentiment around Coinbase was more cautious during the day’s disruptions.
