There's something fucky going on at coinbase right now. I would advise extreme caution trading there currently.

Rumors of an ongoing FBI investigation into money laundering. If you can, get everything out of there ASAP.

If they were actually somehow disrupted by the government, they would allow people to withdraw their currency. Not really a big deal for the end user but might shock the crypto system/prices.

This is pretty normal when the trading volume goes up. They are now trading a third currency which they might have not been prepared as well as they thought. When I bought large quantities of ETH it actually went over a day of the expected deposit, I contacted support but I saw the coins even before they could reply.
