Exchange Outages

Definition

Exchange outages are periods when cryptocurrency trading platforms become unavailable or experience service disruptions. These events involve temporary interruptions in the operational functionality of digital asset exchanges, preventing users from accessing their accounts, executing trades, or managing their holdings. Outages can result from technical failures, cyberattacks, overwhelming traffic volumes, or scheduled maintenance. Such disruptions can cause significant financial losses for traders and erode trust in the affected platforms.
