Leading U.S.-based cryptocurrency exchange COINBASE is suffering connectivity issues for the second consecutive day amid bitcoin‘s parabolic price rally.
- Coinbase's status page posted an incident report about users suffering disrupted connection to the exchange's interface at 15:50 UTC.
- After investigating the issue for nearly two hours, the exchange said it has identified the cause of the problems and is implementing a fix.
- Yesterday, Coinbase experienced the same issue, per its status page. The problem wasn't resolved for six hours, as CoinDesk previously reported.
- The bellwether cryptocurrency ripped through $39,000 for the first time ever late Thursday morning.
- In mid December, Coinbase filed preliminary documents ahead of a planned public offering, tapping Goldman Sachs to lead the listing days later.
The story is developing and will be updated as more information is available.
