Gemini, a problematic cryptocurrency exchange, was offline for more than three hours. The business attributed the downtime to a problem with application recovery. Gemini went offline on December 20 at around 10:00 Eastern Time, according to the official Twitter account. The business was attempting to resolve “application recovery difficulties” at the time.
The business was still working to restore complete system operation two hours later. However, Gemini asserted that the clients’ money was secure. According to the website’s notice, the situation was rectified at 14:00. The event marked the exchange’s second outage in the previous week. On December 15, 2016, the server went down for 3.5 hours.
The shaky exchange’s most pressing problem is not the downtimes. It was reported earlier this month that Genesis Trading, a significant crypto lender, and its parent company Digital Currency Group (DCG), owe Gemini consumers $900 million.
