Global Financial Service Disruptions

When banks, exchanges, brokers and payment providers unexpectedly stop customers moving money. A restriction is recorded as a fact; its cause is a separate, sourced judgement, and an unexplained restriction is never presented as an attack.

Analyst assessment, Nov 5Status: ElevatedTrend: Insufficient evidenceEvidence confidence: Low

On a fixed panel of 54 provider status feeds, restrictions rose from 48 to 58 between the two most recent 14-day windows, within normal variation. What changed is the cause mix: nine restrictions with confirmed cyber causes began in the last 14 days against one in the 14 days before, led by the Binance withdrawal freeze, Credit Mutuel Arkea and a Japanese hosting breach that reached FX brokers. Historical coverage is too uneven to call a multi-year acceleration.

Live: provider-posted restrictions

Raised automatically when a financial provider's own status page says customers cannot withdraw, deposit, transfer, settle or trade. Unclassified until an analyst reviews them; hand-checked precision of the rule on 30 posts was 87%.

Coverage is reduced: DFX is not reading 105 of 124 status feeds, because their robots.txt does not allow it or could not be read, while we move to the incident feeds providers publish.
