What is Coinbase?
Coinbase is a publicly traded cryptocurrency exchange and financial services company that allows individuals and businesses to buy, sell, store, and transfer cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and hundreds of other digital assets. It also offers Coinbase Commerce, a payment processing product that lets merchants accept crypto payments, and Coinbase Advanced Trade for professional and algorithmic traders. Developers and businesses rely on Coinbase's APIs and infrastructure for integrations ranging from wallet services to automated trading systems.
Signs Coinbase is having problems
- Buy, sell, and convert orders fail silently or return a generic error instead of completing
- The Coinbase web app or mobile app shows a blank screen, infinite loading spinner, or fails to display account balances and transaction history
- API requests to api.coinbase.com or api.exchange.coinbase.com return 503 or 429 errors beyond normal rate limits, or authentication endpoints stop issuing valid tokens
- Coinbase Commerce checkout sessions fail to initialize or webhooks stop firing, causing merchants to see incomplete or missing payment confirmations
Find out when your own services go down
You can check Coinbase here — but a heartbeat monitor tells you the moment your API, website, or cron job stops responding, so you hear about your own downtime before your users do.
Frequently asked questions
How can I tell if Coinbase is down?
The authoritative source is the official Coinbase status page at https://status.coinbase.com, which lists real-time status for trading, the API, Commerce, and other components. You can also check community reports on social platforms or independent outage trackers to see if others are experiencing the same issue. If only your account is affected, the problem may be specific to your account or network rather than a platform-wide outage.
Where is the official Coinbase status page?
Coinbase maintains its official status page at https://status.coinbase.com. It provides current status, active incident reports, and a history of past incidents broken down by product component such as the trading platform, wallet services, and the developer API.
Why does Coinbase sometimes go down during high market volatility?
During periods of extreme price movement, trading volume can spike dramatically in a short window. This places unusually high load on order matching engines, market data feeds, and web infrastructure simultaneously. Coinbase has experienced degraded performance or partial outages during several historically volatile market events, which is a known pattern across most major crypto exchanges.
Can I get automatically alerted when my own services depending on Coinbase go down?
If you run a service or cron job that calls the Coinbase API, you can set up a heartbeat monitor on CronJobPro to detect when your integration stops reporting in. That way you get notified the moment your side of the pipeline fails, whether the root cause is Coinbase, your own server, or anything in between.
