How long will a pending Bitfinex order take?

Minutes when it is a blockchain confirmation, hours to days when it is a verification or compliance review. Open a ticket with the order ID rather than resubmitting.

Can I switch from Bitfinex to Anytime Capital without moving my crypto?

Yes. Withdraw from Bitfinex to a wallet you control (or leave it there), create an Anytime Capital account, verify once, and paste any wallet address at checkout. Nothing you already hold needs to move.

Is Anytime Capital regulated?

Anytime Capital is a U.S.-based money services business registered with FinCEN, serving customers worldwide, with a physical branch in Atlanta and an office in Miami. Identity verification is required before you can transact, the same as at every compliant platform.

Is Bitfinex down? How to check, and what to do in the meantime

Q: Can I buy crypto today if Bitfinex is down?

Yes. Anytime Capital is independent of Bitfinex and its processors. Card and Apple Pay orders confirm in minutes, wires settle the same business day, and the Atlanta branch takes cash. Call (470) 748-2530 if you want someone to walk you through it.

Q: How does Anytime Capital pricing compare with Bitfinex?

Anytime Capital quotes one all-in number: card, Apple Pay and Google Pay orders start from 4% with the spread included, and the amount you pay and the crypto you receive are both on screen before you confirm. Bitfinex prices card purchases routed to third-party processors for non-U.S. customers, with the fee and spread shown inside the partner's checkout; not available to a U.S. customer, with a per-coin network fee on crypto and a percentage fee with a minimum on bank wires, which Bitfinex names as one of its remaining revenue lines. Blockchain network fees apply at both. Compare the crypto that lands on the same order size rather than the headline rate.

Every platform has bad days: a processor outage, an app that will not load, a withdrawal stuck on pending. If you are here because Bitfinex is not working right now, you do not have to wait it out.

Quick answer

Is Bitfinex down right now?

Check Bitfinex's status page and its X account for a posted incident, then try the web version directly rather than the app. Most "Bitfinex is down" reports from the United States are the geo-block; elsewhere they are per-network withdrawal pauses and the long shadow of August 2016, when Bitfinex halted all trading and withdrawals after 119,756 BTC were stolen. If you need the crypto today, Anytime Capital is a U.S. platform independent of Bitfinex and its processors, and accepts card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, ACH, wire, Cash App and cash.

Card pricing at Anytime Capital, where Bitfinex has no card rail

Published fee percentages on a debit or credit card order

Bitfinex does not sell crypto for a card payment directly: card purchases routed to third-party processors for non-U.S. customers, with the fee and spread shown inside the partner's checkout; not available to a U.S. customer. Anytime Capital card pricing starts from 4% and is shown in full before you confirm, excluding network fees. As of September 2026.

How to tell whether Bitfinex is actually down

Start with Bitfinex's status page and its support account on X, which post maintenance windows and per-network withdrawal pauses. From the United States, a "Bitfinex is down" search is almost always the geo-block or the account restriction: the site refuses U.S. individuals, and the error looks like a broken service rather than a policy that has been in place since 2017.

The outage people remember is August 2016, when Bitfinex halted all trading and withdrawals after 119,756 BTC were stolen and did not reopen until it had worked out the 36% haircut. Since then the genuine reports are the ordinary kind: single-network pauses during upgrades or congestion, and occasional engine maintenance announced in advance.

Anytime Capital does not hold your coins, so there is no withdrawal queue to be suspended and no hot wallet to be drained. Orders are delivered to your own wallet with the network fee shown at checkout, and if anything looks wrong there is a phone number that answers during business hours.

Status page and social channels: posted incidents
Web version directly: rules out an app or wallet integration problem
Payment fails but site works: processor or issuer, not an outage
Order or withdrawal shows pending: review, not downtime; open a ticket

What to do if your Bitfinex order is stuck

Do not resubmit the same payment, which can create duplicate holds. Take a screenshot of the order and its status, check your email for a document request, and open a support ticket with the order ID. Pending orders almost always resolve into either a completed purchase or a refund; they rarely disappear. If you needed the crypto for something time-sensitive, place the order somewhere that can confirm it today while the ticket works itself out. You can always send the second batch to the same wallet address.
