Cloudflare Global Outage Spreads to Crypto; Multiple Front Ends Down

A global outage across Cloudflare's internet services led to a number of crypto front ends facing downtime on Tuesday.

Abritrum block explorer Arbiscan is reporting a "major outage," with several other sites including social media platform X and data platform DefiLlama flashing intermittent "internal server errors."

"Cloudflare is aware of, and investigating an issue which impacts multiple customers: Widespread 500 errors, Cloudflare Dashboard and API also failing," the company wrote at 11:48 UTC.

Crypto exchange BitMEX also shared that it its investigating an outage linked to the Cloudflare issues.

The internet service provider announced NET Dollar, a U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin, in September, although it has not yet been released.

Cloudflare Inc (NET) shares are down by 3.5% in the pre-market trading following the issue.
