AWS Outage Disrupts Major Crypto Platforms: Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) Trading Impact

A significant Amazon Web Services (AWS) outage has caused disruptions across several major cryptocurrency applications and trading platforms. The technical failure impacted critical infrastructure, leading to temporary service halts for various decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols and exchange services. While core blockchain networks like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) remained operational, access to many applications built on top of them was intermittently unavailable. The incident highlights the crypto industry's reliance on centralized cloud providers for key operational services, raising questions about infrastructure decentralization and resilience.
