However, this did little to stop people from complaining about the outage. One user even claimed of suffering losses. He took to Twitter and said that because he could not open any positions on eToro, it cost him “hundreds by not being able to close.”
Some Twitter users also claimed that other than eToro, several other platforms were down. Users said that Revolut and Trading 212, had actually suffered a crash which disrupted their trading services. However, the trading apps have not officially provided a reason or acknowledged the issue.
Reports also stated that earlier today that crypto trading app Robinhood suffered a “major outage” and that it experienced “issues with crypto trading” at 9:49 a.m. EST. However, at press time, all systems are operational according to the Robinhood website.
Bitcoin was trading at $30,405 at press time and has been down by 4% on the daily time frame.
