Coinbase has assured users that all funds are safe after the stock exchange was unable to process US bank transactions for almost six hours at the weekend.

Account holder with US bank accounts found that on Sunday from 6:57 a.m. ET until 12:41 p.m. ET, they could not make any withdrawals or payments on Coinbase.

The company identified the problem as a catch in the automated clearing house (oh) system, the electronic network, which enables online transfers between US banks.

Users in the USA were not completely prevented from buying crypto because they were still able to use a debit card or a PayPal account. But cash withdrawals were fully frozen during the failure.
