⚠️ Global outage on AWS affects Coinbase, Robinhood, and crypto services
📅 Monday started unstable for the crypto sector: a failure in Amazon's cloud (AWS) affected more than 500 companies, including Coinbase, Robinhood, and blockchain access providers like Infura.
🔻 What happened?
Error in DynamoDB, an essential AWS service in the US-EAST-1 region
Platforms like Coinbase and Robinhood reported errors, slowness, and instability
APIs for Ethereum, Polygon, and Arbitrum went down via Infura
Services from Alexa, Zoom, Snapchat, Fortnite, and even Amazon’s own website also crashed
💬 Coinbase confirmed the instability but assured:
"All funds are safe"
🌐 Although no blockchain was directly affected, the reliance on centralized infrastructure became evident. Many Web3 solutions still depend on traditional services to operate efficiently.
🧠 Reflection for the crypto ecosystem:
Decentralization is the goal — but are we ready to reduce dependence on providers like AWS?
📊 As services return to normal, the community debates:
How to balance real decentralization with technical efficiency?
