Wtf is going on with kraken?

https://status.kraken.com/incidents/rzd4fm71v33m

Currently we have paused Monero (XMR) withdrawals.
Deposits are unaffected and still require 32 confirmations (~1h) before crediting.
We are actively monitoring the situation and will provide more updates as they become available.

The last update was 2 days ago, basically it’s been down for a week.

      I think it’s obvious they are fractional reserve, they sell more monero than they have. And then when the price goes high a lot of people withdraw, and they’re left in the lurch to actually come up with the monero they didn’t have.

      Well that’s my guess at least

        Kraken has always passed the reserves tests, are audited from what I remember, and publish proof of reserves for cryptocurrencies that allow it. I don’t believe they use fractional reserves.
