Bitcoin

<p>Coinbase, a prominent U.S.-based cryptocurrency exchange, faced technical issues that led to some customers seeing their account balances drop to $0. This glitch occurred hours after Bitcoin experienced a notable rally, briefly surpassing the $60,000 mark for the first time since Nov. 2021. The cryptocurrency went on to approach $64,000 before it quickly retreated back to around $60,000. This incident unfolded just as Bitcoin’s all-time high of over $69,000 seemed within reach once more.</p>

<p>The timing of the outage was notable due to its coincidence with a significant uptick in Bitcoin’s price. Coinbase’s prompt acknowledgment of the issue aimed to quell any immediate concerns about asset security among its user base.</p>
