Exchanges are struggling to keep up with demand

Yesterday, Coinbase officially confirmed its plan to go public through a direct listing this year.

Despite being the biggest U.S. exchange with 43 million users worldwide, it constantly faces criticism for recurring outages that coincide with rapid spikes in market volatility.

Coinbase, however, is far from being the only exchange that is struggling right now because of enormous demand. As reported by U.Today, its main rival, Binance, had to briefly suspend withdrawals due to a huge number of new user sign-ups.
