Crypto exchange KuCoin on April 15, 2025, confirmed that it is experiencing temporary service disruptions due to a large-scale network outage involving AWS (Amazon Web Services). The platform addressed the issue in an official statement, reassuring users that their assets and data remain secure.

In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), KuCoin stated, “Our technical team is urgently working on a fix, and the recovery time will be announced separately.” The exchange emphasized that the disruption is temporary and is actively being addressed.

This follows a similar issue reported by Binance earlier in the day, where services were affected due to a network interruption at AWS data centers. With multiple platforms impacted, the outage highlights the growing reliance of crypto exchanges on centralized cloud infrastructure providers like AWS.
