Regulated crypto exchange Gemini delayed withdrawals from its lending program. Once users open a Gemini account, they can purchase any amount of cryptocurrency and immediately transfer it to Gemini Earn, which pays interest on their holdings through Gemini’s program.

Twitter users have noted concerning messages when attempting to log in to Gemini exchange. It is likely that the exchange’s infrastructure is overwhelmed. Log-ins are currently disabled and users report the following messages:
