Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • forweb3media For Web3 (@forweb3media) reported

    BREAKING🗞: #Crypto exchange @krakenfx shuts down staking following SEC charges. #CryptoNews

  • intel_honesty Intellectual Honesty - WMT Earth Node (@intel_honesty) reported

    @SubcriticalTV @krakenfx Non-compliance? Maybe they can shut down their validator nodes for retail? And wait for unlock (without rewards accruing?) Or perhaps they'll market buy people's staked ETH from them? And redeem them themselves at a later date? It's going to be interesting...

  • mikeiam10 Uncut Gems (@mikeiam10) reported

    @BSCGemsAlert So we are not going to fight this @krakenfx ? You gonna sit down and take it like a b!tch?

  • akselgg aksel.eth (@akselgg) reported

    @krakenfx should really stop staking for shitcoins - worldwide - without being required to do so by regulators. Protecting customers from potential scams will help build crypto adoption. Staking make sense for a few coins, and is just another scam technique for the rest.

  • NGUYENAntoine10 NGUYEN Antoine (@NGUYENAntoine10) reported

    @krakenfx Hi @krakenfx , is there a problem with the withdrawal page? I tried to withdraw btc and eth but it gave me an error message

  • Abudamonkee_AX Abudamonkee.eth /.sol (@Abudamonkee_AX) reported

    The SEC is cracking down on staking starting with @krakenfx

  • Sean_Healey_ RWNFTs (@Sean_Healey_) reported

    @GaryGensler @SECGov This is going to have major unintended consequences. People are going to bail from well run US exchanges like @krakenfx that will comply with this mandate and move funds into more unregulated unsafe foreign exchanges. Help good exchanges with disclosures but don't ban things.

    @beincrypto @krakenfx Shuts down STAKING. stop the FUD

  • fiat2crypt0 Ivan paredes (@fiat2crypt0) reported

    @krakenfx Why is the site down?!?!?!?!?!?!

  • VtorVentura1 Ventura (@VtorVentura1) reported

    @krakensupport Kraken is down why??

  • 41414_lexx Lexani PIPman (@41414_lexx) reported

    @jungleincxrp @VitalikButerin Such a cluster ****. @krakenfx should have fought harder for their customers

  • ElijahCNA Elijah CNA (@ElijahCNA) reported

    First is was @Nexo closing all earn products and now @krakenfx is shutting down staking The #SEC could be fighting the biggest innovation in #DeFi, not good for #Crypto U.S

  • TheEylon eylon (@TheEylon) reported

    This has nothing to do with protecting "retail" but everything to do with protecting incumbents. Banks and financial institutions don't want to see their financial services go to @coinbase and @krakenfx @GaryGensler will go down as one of biggest villians in history

  • RailroadedMI Twaine (@RailroadedMI) reported

    @jchervinsky @krakenfx and @jespow are pushovers for not fighting. I no longer need their service.

  • VtorVentura1 Ventura (@VtorVentura1) reported

    @krakenfx Why is the app and the website down???

  • MarkZik Zik (@MarkZik) reported

    @krakenfx Will you be shutting down staking site wide or just of US citizens?

  • Exeter_Gently Count of Monty Bisto🇺🇦 (@Exeter_Gently) reported

    @krakensupport @robibust Support ticket ..... my *** ! People panicking and withdrawing because of Celsius, Voyager and FTX issues in the past..... do the right thing, put out a statement NOW Kraken

  • thetokenist The Tokenist (@thetokenist) reported

    Just In: The @SECgov accused @krakenfx of running an unregistered crypto staking program. Kraken agreed to shut it down and pay $30 million.

  • crytpoalan Alan (@crytpoalan) reported

    @krakenfx @WatcherGuru You also knew the staking program was going to shut down and you said nothing about it. Now, what will happened to the staked ETH in your platform? Will people be allowed to still withdraw once @ethereum Shanghai Upgrade is ready or not?

  • huseynm05 Kratos (@huseynm05) reported

    @krakenfx What the shame crypto exchange and also agreed with SEC to shut down crypto-staking. Shame on you!!! The worst exchange ever seen🤬

  • PDOG76407131 PDOG (@PDOG76407131) reported

    Wow… @krakenfx agreed to shut down staking in US… next black swan is coming … there will be only one hero $BTC

  • Gulicio1 Mike (@Gulicio1) reported

    @krakenfx has failed the entire crypto industry by bowing to the SEC. Why is staking an issue with the SEC? It’s simply because staking Crypo offers a larger return on our investments than the legacy banking system! @GOPMajorityWhip when are you going to kracken the whip??!!

  • SinCityCrypto1 Sin City Crypto (@SinCityCrypto1) reported

    So it’s obvious now that the #SEC is going after custodial staking (aka centralized exchanges) in light of the @krakenfx settlement to shut down their staking program. We can assume @coinbase is next and more to follow. Is this a net positive or negative for our space?

  • rotkiapp Rotkiapp - protects your privacy🕶️ (@rotkiapp) reported

    @SaurabhDhekale @LefterisJP @krakenfx It's in your local computer. So even if Kraken, knock on wood, completely shuts down all data is still with you.

  • fiat2crypt0 Ivan paredes (@fiat2crypt0) reported

    @krakenfx why is your website down?!??!!?!?!?

  • IamChasm__ Chasm__ (@IamChasm__) reported

    So @krakenfx is shutting down U.S. staking…

  • FintechExpress FintechExpress (@FintechExpress) reported

    BREAKING: #Crypto exchange @krakenfx shuts down #cryptostaking following SEC charges!

  • Sabotage604 Sabotage_604 (@Sabotage604) reported

    I have closed my @krakenfx account You don't support staking you gotta go

  • druideight druid#8 (@druideight) reported

    I really want to like @krakenfx - it seems like they are trying to do things the right way. The only problem is their website/app never actually works when I go to use it.

  • Exeter_Gently Count of Monty Bisto🇺🇦 (@Exeter_Gently) reported

    @krakenfx can you tell me why I can't withdraw some cash ? Problem ???
