How long will a pending Bithumb 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 Bithumb to Anytime Capital without moving my crypto?

Yes. Withdraw from Bithumb 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 Bithumb down? How to check, and what to do in the meantime

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

Yes. Anytime Capital is independent of Bithumb 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 Bithumb?

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. Bithumb prices no card, Apple Pay or Google Pay purchases; funding is a Korean-won transfer from a linked KB Kookmin Bank account, so there is no card fee because there is no card, with a fixed per-coin network fee set by Bithumb and shown before you confirm. 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 Bithumb is not working right now, you do not have to wait it out.

Most "Bithumb is down" reports are a single-coin deposit and withdrawal suspension for a network upgrade, order lag during a Korean volatility spike, or a scheduled maintenance window, not the whole exchange going dark.

Quick answer

Is Bithumb down right now?

Check Bithumb's status page and its X account for a posted incident, then try the web version directly rather than the app. Most "Bithumb is down" reports are a single-coin deposit and withdrawal suspension for a network upgrade, order lag during a Korean volatility spike, or a scheduled maintenance window, not the whole exchange going dark. If you need the crypto today, Anytime Capital is a U.S. platform independent of Bithumb and its processors, and accepts card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, ACH, wire, Cash App and cash.

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

Published fee percentages on a debit or credit card order

Bithumb does not sell crypto for a card payment directly: no card, Apple Pay or Google Pay purchases; funding is a Korean-won transfer from a linked KB Kookmin Bank account, so there is no card fee because there is no card. 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 Bithumb is actually down

Check Bithumb's notice board and its social accounts first. Like every Korean exchange it posts per-coin deposit and withdrawal suspensions for network upgrades and node delays, and it schedules maintenance windows in advance. A suspension on one coin is not an outage, though it reads like one to the person holding that coin.

The other triggers are volume and error. Korean volatility spikes can slow order matching and the app for minutes at a time. And on February 6, 2026 Bithumb really did freeze accounts across the exchange after a promotional payout mistakenly credited about 620,000 bitcoin, which is the day most of the "Bithumb down" search history comes from.

If you are outside Korea, whether Bithumb is up does not change anything, because you cannot log in either way. Anytime Capital is independent of Bithumb and its bank partner, serves customers wherever they are, and accepts card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, ACH, wire, Cash App and cash if you need the crypto today.

Web version directly: rules out an app or wallet integration problem
Payment fails but site works: processor or issuer, not an outage

What to do if your Bithumb 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.
