Investigating

We are receiving reports of clients having difficulty connecting to the site and REST API. WebSockets trading is unaffected. The issue appears to be connected to very heavy traffic. Sign-ins and sign-ups are temporarily disabled due to extremely high demand. We are working to resolve the issue and will update as soon as we have more information.
