If you have Basic Crypto trading permission, you can trade when the IBKR system is unavailable with some restrictions.

Simply log in with your IBKR account credentials and manage your cryptocurrency orders in the easy-to-use interface. You can also view your Cryptocurrency Service Provider's cryptocurrency positions using either the IBKR or Cryptocurrency Service Provider's client web interface at any time.
