The exchange has identified two issues with the platform, which they have promised to resolve.
Kraken experiences issues
The exchange tweeted that “we are experiencing another all-time high surge in interest.” They further added that they are “working rapidly to fix identified issues.”
On a positive note, the exchange said “trading via API and the Kraken Pro app are not affected.”
According to an update on its website, Kraken revealed that they are experiencing at least two issues.
The exchange received reports that some of its clients faced delays while using instant funding methods, which affected the deposits available for trading. Kraken further said that some clients experienced problems with card payments.
The second notable issue was reported by clients who said they had trouble connecting to the site while using the app. This issue, according to Kraken, is due to heavy traffic.
The exchange provided an update stating that “signups are re-enabled” after implementing a fix and they are monitoring the results.
A spike in traffic
According to data provided by CoinMarketCap, there has been a huge spike in traffic across several exchanges in the last 24 hours.
Kraken, with a spot trading volume of $2.662 billion in the last 24 hours, has seen an increase of just over 40% in trading volume.

In contrast, Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, experienced a spike of 16.7% to reach $28.166 billion in trading volume in a 24-hour period.
Bitfinex, which recently repaid a debt it owed its sister company Tether, experienced a surge of 92% while Bitstamp handled an increase of 80%.
Cryptocurrency exchanges have a history of being overwhelmed when there is a surge in traffic. This normally happens during a bullish cycle that triggers traders and crypto holders to enter the market to capitalize on price movements.
A green market
The news of Tesla buying bitcoins worth $1.5 billion has resulted in a bullish cycle. Bitcoin gained more than 10% shortly after the news broke.
This seems to have translated to altcoins which are mostly in the green. Many people want in when the markets are like this and this could be the cause of the issues being faced by the exchange.
However, this is frustrating as traders who want to get in on the action have to wait until the issues are resolved.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
