Crypto exchange Gemini services are down, causing speculation that it is the latest victim of the FTX crisis.
However, the exchange has maintained on its status page that wire transfers are affected, but funds are secure.
“Gemini is investigating reports of potential service disruptions. All customer accounts and funds remain completely secure,” Gemini said
Further investigation has revealed that the outage is due to an Amazon Web Services EBS outage with one of their primary databases.
We experienced an Amazon Web Services EBS outage with one of our primary databases. We have restored the database and are bringing the exchange back up.

As a result of the halting incident, Twitter users have expressed fears, citing the current market condition, claiming “Nothing is safe at the moment.”
