The website has been offline for over 15 minutes. The exchange's status page says that it is experiencing “connectivity issues.”
Some speculate that the severe outage is linked to unprecedented traffic caused by the Shiba Inu frenzy.
The meme coin's trading volume has surpassed $5 billion on Coinbase alone, dwarfing Bitcoin's and Ether's numbers.
After surpassing the market cap of archrival Dogecoin on both CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap earlier today, Shiba Inu soared even higher, reaching yet another all-time high of $0.00008519.
