The world’s largest crypto exchange, Binance’s trading service is back in operation after issues with Amazon’s cloud computing platform forced it to suspend withdrawals early on Tuesday.
“All services are beginning to recover and start to resume,” Binance wrote in X’s post Tuesday. “The drawers have also been reopened.”
An AWS spokesman told Fortune: “The problem has been resolved and the service is working fine.”
The brief pause of the withdrawal was the result of a “temporary suspension” at Amazon Web Services (AWS) data centers, Binance said in a post on X. The company said that customers were unable to obtain money from their accounts for nine minutes as AWS issues suspended trading orders for some of the exchanges.
“Some orders are still successful, but some have failed,” Binance writes to X. Shortly after discovering the issue, the company halted its withdrawal service “to ensure safety.”
Binance did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fortune.
Binance wasn’t the only crypto exchange that was affected by the outage. A customer from Seychelles-based Crypto Exchange Kucoin reported on X that it was unable to access the Exchange website early on Tuesday morning.
“Kucoin experienced short service disruptions early today due to an unexpected outage at cloud service provider AWS,” Kucoin CEO BC Wong told Fortune. “All functions of deposits, withdrawals and trading are back online completely. User funds are not at risk and all data remains completely intact.”
Cloud computing companies such as AWS play an integral role in running web-based businesses without maintaining their own servers. AWS enables businesses such as Crypto Exchanges, streaming services, and e-commerce websites to outsource their computing power needs to one of Amazon’s over 200 global data centers. These data centers house a fleet of computer servers that manage, store and process data on behalf of web-based companies. AWS competes directly with other cloud computing companies such as Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud.
Stopping cloud computing is not unheard of. Last summer, the issue of cybersecurity company CrowdStrike suddenly disrupts many Microsoft services, including Microsoft Azure. The problems caused by the outage lasted for several days, affecting airlines, banks and emergency services.
