"Site is Down for Maintenance
ShapeShift has temporarily turned off all trading due to the Aug 1 Bitcoin hard fork. Trading will remain off until a clear outcome of the fork has been determined.
Once trading begins we will process or return any orders that were paused or delayed during the downtime.
If you were in the middle of a transaction involving Bitcoin, your order will complete but may take as long as a few hours.
If you have questions about the status of an order, please contact our support team and they will take care of you.
It is highly recommended that you do not send or receive Bitcoin during hard fork period. Sit tight and hodl until the dust settles."
Currently bitcoin is down 1.59%, which sounds small but is around $200. Ethereum is currently up 12.76%
