Yeah, but that shouldn't have anything to do with cryptocurrencies, and I doubt they would disable the funding functionality on the site completely just because of that (they don't disable it over weekends normally, for example).
True, I havent tried trading in Cryptocurrencies. Rather have it safe in fiat right now instead of a cryptocurrency which I might not be able to move. The problems I encounter though are that I can not deposit and withdraw funds. The message I quoted specifies that this is because Kraken shut down all deposits and withdrawals from the period of December 28 2017 til January 4th 2018.
