Crypto Exchanges Binance and KuCoin Disrupted by AWS Outage, Services Now Recovering

April 15, 2025No Comments3 Mins Read

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Email

On April 15, a significant service disruption stemming from an Amazon Web Services (AWS) outage caused widespread technical difficulties across major crypto exchanges, including Binance, KuCoin, MEXC, and others. The incident, described as a “large-scale network interruption,” temporarily affected trading functionality and withdrawals, leading to an industry-wide pause as centralized platforms scrambled to assess the situation and restore user services.

Centralized Exchanges Affected At Scale

Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange by volume, was among the first to alert its users to the issue. In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Binance acknowledged that the platform was experiencing problems due to a temporary network interruption at an AWS data center. As a precautionary measure, withdrawals were suspended to minimize risk during the interruption.

Less than an hour later, Binance confirmed that most services had begun to recover, adding that withdrawals had been reopened, but some residual delays might persist as systems stabilized. KuCoin followed suit with a similar statement, citing a “large-scale network outage with AWS services” as the root cause behind its platform disruptions. Reassuring users, KuCoin emphasized that all user funds and data remained secure and that its technical team was actively working to resolve the situation.

Other platforms reported related technical issues, such as MEXC, Gate.io, Coinstore, Rabby Wallet, and DeBank. Users encountered anomalies like failed order cancellations, abnormal candlestick charts, and delayed asset transfers. As of 9:30 a.m. UTC, the AWS outage affected at least eight centralized exchanges and crypto service providers.

AWS Becomes a Single Point of Failure

The incident raised a deeper and more structural concern: the industry’s dependence on centralized infrastructure like AWS. Amazon Web Services powers some of the most popular platforms in the space, including Binance, Crypto.com, Coinbase, Kraken, BitMEX, and Huobi. While AWS is known for its stability and capacity to handle large volumes of low-latency transactions, Monday’s service disruption exposed the potential fragility of relying on a single service provider for mission-critical operations.

Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, succinctly summarized the sentiment: “It’s a solid reminder: maybe it’s time to explore decentralized cloud services.” The outage has reinvigorated discussions around decentralization, not as a philosophical abstraction but as a practical necessity. Edmund Chua, head of mETH Protocol, also wrote: “AWS down and 90% of crypto is down. Decentralization is a meme.”

Between Idealism and Practicality

The AWS outage also spotlights a sector trying to bridge the centralized and decentralized world: Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks, or DePIN. Although DePIN projects often promote themselves as decentralized alternatives to traditional infrastructure, many rely ironically on centralized service providers like AWS to deliver core services.

A January feature on Cryptonews delved into this paradox, questioning whether pursuing decentralization for its own sake was even realistic. The article noted that despite their ideals, most DePIN projects remain hybrid. They leverage legacy infrastructure like corporate-owned servers and telecom grids while introducing blockchain-based incentives and governance mechanisms. Full decentralization isn’t always the goal. Rather, DePIN’s mission is to enhance legacy systems using decentralized technologies, not to overthrow them. These networks provide decentralized storage (e.g., Filecoin), computing power (e.g., Akash Network), and GPU services (e.g., Render Network), yet they often depend on existing data centers to scale efficiently. Centralization is not shameful when it’s openly acknowledged and effectively used.

As services across Binance, KuCoin, and others gradually return to normal, the crypto community is left with more than just operational lessons. The event may be a turning point in the industry’s thinking about cloud dependency, decentralization, and the technologies needed to secure the next wave of Web3 infrastructure.
