Troubleshooting Steps Before You Assume Coinbase Is Down

  1. 1

    Check your internet connection

    Switch between WiFi and mobile data to rule out local connectivity issues before assuming Coinbase is down.

  2. 2

    Update the Coinbase app

    Outdated app versions can cause trading errors. Check the App Store or Google Play for the latest Coinbase update.

  3. 3

    Try Coinbase Pro or Advanced Trade

    If the main Coinbase app isn't working, try Coinbase Pro or Advanced Trade which run on separate infrastructure.

  4. 4

    Clear app cache and restart

    On mobile, clear the Coinbase app cache, force-close the app, and restart your device to resolve glitches.

  5. 5

    Check blockchain network status

    Some issues may be blockchain-specific (e.g., Ethereum network congestion). Check network status before blaming Coinbase.

Alternative Solutions During Coinbase Outages

Use another exchange for urgent trades

During Coinbase outages, use Kraken, Binance.US, or Gemini for time-sensitive crypto trades.

Use a self-custody wallet

If you need to move crypto urgently, use a self-custody wallet like MetaMask or Ledger to bypass exchange issues.

Queue non-urgent transactions

If trades or transfers aren't time-sensitive, wait for Coinbase to recover rather than paying higher fees elsewhere.

Monitor recovery via status page

Watch status.coinbase.com or API Status Check for updates indicating when Coinbase service is restored.

Get notified when Coinbase is back up

No account needed. We will email you once and thats it.
