A major service outage impacting Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the Asia Pacific Northeast Region caused disruptions to EC2 services and Binance users. The incident affected Binance’s withdrawal functionality, leading to temporary service interruptions and higher error rates for users. AWS quickly identified the power supply disruption as the root cause and deployed remediation efforts that brought most affected services back online. While Binance is actively recovering from the outage, the event raises concerns about the reliance on centralized infrastructure in decentralized applications and services. This underscores the tension between convenience offered by centralized service providers and the pursuit of decentralized autonomy within the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
