Thousands of Coinbase and Crypto.com users are frantically trying to check their massive gains of Shiba Inu; the only problem is both platforms crashed.
After Shiba Inu market cap spiked to $39 billion and surpassed both USDC and Doge, holders found they weren’t able to log in to their mobile apps.
The technical glitch is believed to be the direct result of Shiba hitting a new all time high at $0.0000865, which caused crypto users to flock to both Coinbase and Crypto.com.
Elon’s “none” tweet appeared to had no effect on Shiba and the coin is looking to spike even more.
Look at some of these tweets of users who experienced the crash:

The U Today got the scoop too:
Coinbase, the largest crypto exchange in the U.S., is currently down.The website has been offline for over 15 minutes. The exchange’s status page says that it is experiencing “connectivity issues.”
Some speculate that the severe outage is linked to unprecedented traffic caused by the Shiba Inu frenzy.
After surpassing the market cap of archrival Dogecoin on both CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap earlier today, Shiba Inu soared even higher, reaching yet another all-time high of $0.00008519.
