As the price of digital coins plummeted, cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase fell on Wednesday morning.
The company’s stock fell 10% after it began trading on Wednesday. Five weeks ago, before Coinbase made its public debut, the price of Bitcoin reached $65,000 and then peaked.
When cryptocurrency plummeted, the Coinbase app and website also started working with errors. It led to the frustration of several social media users as they wanted to buy at this price.
According to Coindesk, Bitcoin, the world’s most significant digital token, fell 25% in 24 hours to $33,147. Ethereum, the digital currency that promotes Ethereum blockchain development, has fallen 37% in the past 24 hours to $2,227. Dogecoin also plummeted 37% to 33 cents.
Binance, another popular trading platform among retail investors, also announced that it is suspending some cryptocurrency withdrawals on Wednesday morning.
That’s the announcement Binance made: “Due to network congestion, withdrawals of $ETH and ERC20 are temporarily prohibited. Thank you for your patience and inconvenience.”
