Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase started experiencing technical issues earlier today, with trades “intermittently failing.”

According to the exchange’s status page, the issue has been identified.

At press time, the exchange is in the process of implementing a fix.

A massive sell-off

The cryptocurrency market has been hit extremely hard by a fresh Consumer Price Index (CPI) report that showed higher-than-expected inflation.

Cryptocurrencies predictably plunged together with stocks. The Nasdaq-100 index is down 5.73%.
