Cloudflare Outage: Global Disruption Takes Crypto Sites Offline
A widespread Cloudflare outage disrupted major parts of the internet on November 18, 2025, leading to significant downtime for numerous crypto platforms. Notable sites such as Arbiscan, DefiLlama, and the social media platform X experienced intermittent 'internal server errors' as a result of Cloudflare's system failure. The company reported widespread '500' errors affecting its dashboard and API. Crypto exchange BitMEX also noted an outage linked to the disruption. Consequently, Cloudflare's shares dropped 3.5% in pre-market trading. The incident highlights the reliance of crypto operations on external internet services and the potential vulnerabilities that can arise in the sector from such outages.
