Widespread internet outages like this can affect crypto markets temporarily, but it depends on the severity and duration.
Here’s how it may or may not impact:
✅ Possible Impact:
1. Exchange Downtime: If AWS or Cloudflare is down, major crypto exchanges (Binance, Coinbase, etc.) using them may face slowdowns or temporary shutdowns.
2. DeFi Apps Affected: DApps using Firebase, AWS, or Cloudflare (e.g., MetaMask APIs, price oracles) may not function properly.
3. Trader Panic: Sudden disconnection or slow UI can trigger panic sells or price volatility.
4. Bot/Algo Trading Issues: If servers hosting bots or data feeds are down, it can temporarily reduce liquidity or distort price feeds.
Conclusion:
👉 If you're trading during this time, expect some UI issues or slippage. But if you're holding long-term, this is a short-term tech disruption, not a fundamental crypto issue.
