NEW YORK/LONDON (May 19): The world's biggest crypto-trading platforms were hit by disruptions as digital currencies from Bitcoin to Ethereum slid in a collapse that wiped out billions of dollars in market value.
Binance, the world's biggest cryptocurrency exchange, temporarily disabled Ethereum withdrawals, citing network congestion, while Coinbase Global Inc reported "intermittent downtime" on its platform, before saying it had identified and fixed the issue. Kraken said it is working to fix some client disruptions.
