Over the Christmas period Bungie acknowledge their was a problem with Guardians accessing the EDZ Obelisk and have also reported that they “have identified the root cause of the “interact” issue.” They say this will be fixed in January but have not given a date, presumably they will be off like everyone else for the first few days so I would not expect it fixed immediately.
Players have listed numerous ways to get round the bug, which stops Guardians form levelling up the Obelisk and unlocking rewards, bonuses, and triumphs, but Bungie have said the best way to get to the Obelisk is to repeatedly fast travel to The Gulch until you can access the Obelisk.
UPDATE: We believe we have identified the root cause of the "interact" issue with the EDZ Obelisk.
Until a fix is published in January, players can work around this issue by repeatedly fast traveling to “The Gulch” until they find a functioning obelisk.https://t.co/5qoSf2paRO

I have noticed that the button prompt does not always appear even when you can access the Obelisk so always hammer Square (or equivalent) when you get near the Obelisk as it may grant you access even though it appears it is still locked.
Additionally the Tower Obelisk seems to be bugged for some people, returning to Orbit and travelling back to the Tower seems to fix this.
Since Bungie recovered the Destiny franchise from Activision there does seem to have been more game breaking bugs than previously, possibly because they are releasing new content at a much faster pace, but it is something they are going to need to look at. The EDZ Obelisk is part of the main Season Pass quests and leaving it broken for well over two weeks is not good at all.
if you are having other problems in the game, such as Eververse continually flashing even though you have nothing to pick up, it may be one of the known issues which you can see below.
