Coinbase suffered a brief outage when crypto prices plummeted Saturday afternoon.

Apparently, whales started liquidating their BTC positions in $2 million chunks just as the clock struck 5 PM in California. Bitcoin dropped from $9561 to $8570 in just under 30 minutes, before perking up to $8770, where it appeared to level off as of this writing.
