Amazon Web Services Glitch Impacts Binance, KuCoin, and Multiple Crypto Firms

A sudden network issue at Amazon Web Services (AWS) caused disruptions across multiple crypto platforms on Tuesday, temporarily halting withdrawals and trade execution on exchanges like Binance and KuCoin.

Binance was quick to acknowledge the incident in a post on X, citing “a temporary network interruption in the AWS data center” as the cause. “Some orders are still successful, but some are failing. If users failed, they may keep retrying,” the exchange noted.

Withdrawals on Binance were restored within six minutes of the initial alert, but users continued to report issues executing trades, particularly on Binance and KuCoin. Screenshots and updates posted on X suggested ongoing transaction failures and interface lag.

The outage extended beyond trading platforms. Wallet provider Rabby and analytics dashboard DeBank also reported full service interruptions, further underscoring the widespread impact.

AWS is the backbone for a large portion of the internet, offering cloud infrastructure for everything from crypto apps to major enterprise software. When its systems falter, the effects can ripple instantly across the digital economy—especially in fast-moving sectors like crypto.

As of publication time, AWS had not issued an official statement regarding the scope or resolution timeline of the disruption.
