Global Disruption Takes Crypto Sites Offline

A global outage in Cloudflare’s internet services caused several crypto interfaces to face downtime on Tuesday.

Abritrum block explorer Arbiscan reports a “major outage,” and several other sites, including social media platform X and data platform DefiLlama, show intermittent “internal server errors.”

“Cloudflare is aware of and investigating an issue affecting multiple customers: widespread 500 errors, Cloudflare dashboard and API are also crashing,” the company wrote at 11:48 UTC.

Cryptocurrency exchange BitMEX also shared that it is investigating an outage related to the Cloudflare issues.

The internet service provider announced NET Dollar, a stablecoin backed by US dollars, in September, although it has not yet been launched.

Cloudflare Inc (NET) shares fell 3.5% in pre-market trading following the issue.
