Why is bitFlyer not working?

Most "bitFlyer is down" reports are the Lightning order book or the app lagging during a fast market, a scheduled maintenance window announced on bitFlyer's status page, or a single-coin deposit and withdrawal pause, while the website itself stays up.

How long will a pending bitFlyer 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 buy crypto today if bitFlyer is down?

Yes. Anytime Capital is independent of bitFlyer 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.

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

Yes. Withdraw from bitFlyer 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.

How does Anytime Capital pricing compare with bitFlyer?

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. bitFlyer prices no card, Apple Pay or Google Pay purchases in the U.S.; the Buy/Sell screen prices in a spread that bitFlyer discloses as anywhere from 0.1% to 6.0% depending on market conditions, and the money must arrive by ACH or wire first, with a fixed per-coin network fee on crypto withdrawals; USD withdrawals by ACH are free. Blockchain network fees apply at both. Compare the crypto that lands on the same order size rather than the headline rate.

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.
