Is bitFlyer down right now?
The bitFlyer status panel here is built from live user reports, and bitFlyer down reports climb when Lightning or the app stops answering. Reports that jump within minutes of a big price move point to load on the exchange systems.
Users flag the same pressure points: yen deposits, coin sending and the sign in screen. A fault in one service, like Lightning, does not always stop the simple trade screen on the main app.
Is bitFlyer down for me or everyone?
Traders arrive asking is bitFlyer down or did their app just freeze at the worst moment. The reports answer the question is bitFlyer down for me only, or is the same failure hitting accounts across the country? Shared failures clear only when the exchange fixes its side.
Lightning and the simple trade screen
bitFlyer Lightning is the pro terminal with a deep order book, charts and many order types. The main app instead shows a sales counter price, simpler but costlier per trade than the Lightning book.
The two run as separate services, so one can fail while the other keeps trading. If Lightning charts freeze, test a small order on the main app before assuming the whole exchange stopped.
Spotting a real exchange outage
A genuine bitFlyer outage blocks sign in, balances and orders for many users at once. One order failing while prices still move is usually an account limit or price condition, not a platform fault.
Deposit holds and sending limits
Some yen deposit methods carry a hold before coins bought with them can leave the account. That hold is a safety rule, not a fault, and the app shows the release timing in the deposit history.
Protecting your bitFlyer account
Set up two factor authentication with an app code, and treat any mail asking you to sign in from a link as fake. Real alerts arrive inside the app, and support never asks for your password or code.
Common bitFlyer Problems and Fixes
Most bitFlyer faults come down to the app, a pending transfer or a security check. Try the fixes in order and test a small action after each one. Keep the last fix for sign in trouble.
Reopen the app when Lightning charts freeze
Close the bitFlyer app fully, reopen it, and reload the Lightning screen. A frozen chart often keeps old data while orders still run. If the chart stays stuck, open Lightning in a browser.
Sort out a yen deposit that is not reflected
Check the deposit history and match the amount and bank name against your transfer. Quick Deposit lands fast when details match. A transfer under another name waits for identity checks.
Wait out a coin withdrawal under review
Withdrawals pause while the exchange runs security checks, and busy chains add waiting time. The status line in your history shows the current stage. Do not send the same coins twice. Copy traders heed the same rule at Bitget, where a pending transfer shows its stage in the history line.
Fix SMS codes that never arrive
Check the phone number saved on the account and confirm the phone holds a signal. Ask for a new code once, then wait before trying again. Repeated requests can lock the code service for a while.
Recover an account after a password reset
Follow the reset mail link, set a new password, and sign in on the site first. Then sign in on the app to refresh its session. Two factor settings stay in place through a reset.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I send bitcoin from bitFlyer to another wallet?
Register the destination address in your account, then start the send from the crypto assets page. Check the address and network twice, since a sent transfer cannot be pulled back. A fee shows before you confirm.
Why is my bitFlyer withdrawal taking so long?
Withdrawals pass security checks, then wait for confirmations on the chain. Busy hours stretch both stages. The history page shows whether the delay sits with the checks or the network.
What is the difference between Lightning and the sales counter?
Lightning is an order book where traders trade with each other at live prices. The sales counter sells coins directly at a set quote. Lightning fees run lower, while the counter is simpler for small buys.
Does bitFlyer hold coins after a convenience store deposit?
Yes, some deposit methods hold outgoing coin sends for a set period. Trading and yen moves still work during the hold. The history shows the day the hold lifts.
Can I sign in to bitFlyer on a new phone?
Yes, sign in with your mail address and password, then pass the two factor check. If codes lived on the old phone, use the recovery steps in security settings. Set up the new phone before wiping the old one.
Where can I see my bitFlyer trade history?
Open the account menu and choose trade history or reports. It lists orders, fills, deposits and withdrawals in order. You can download the records for tax work there.
