To reassure its users of the ongoing effort to resolve the problem, Bitfinex after about two hours reported that the root cause of the problem had been identified, and efforts were on to implement a solution swiftly and restore full functionality.
The issue was unlike the<a href="https://thecoinrise.com/bitfinex-suffers-minor-information-security-breach/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> minor information security attack</a> it suffered in November last year when a hacker targeted a Bitfinex customer support agent between October 30 and November 5 and managed to obtain only incomplete and outdated information.
While the technical team worked on the challenge which affected performance, Bitfinex again informed users that the implementation of the fix was nearing completion. This update was received in less than ten minutes after the issue responsible for the reduced performance was identified.

To compensate for the technical disruption, the exchange further announced its intention to resume operations in view-only mode. The aim was to allow users to have the option to cancel orders up to five minutes before trading resumed.
Ultimately, Bitfinex officially resolved the issue at 3:48 am UTC, when all systems became fully operational. Currently, functionality is back to its platform, allowing users to resume trading activities without further interruptions.
