Beginner’s Guide to Coinbase Pro: Complete Review

Coinbase Pro has a long history of leading the world of cryptocurrency exchanges, although it went by the name GDAX until recently. As the current name implies, Coinbase Pro is the version of Coinbase filled with features that advanced traders will appreciate, including more detailed charts and graphs and trading options.

Coinbase Pro prides itself on being the most trusted platform designed to trade cryptocurrency, as it is backed by a large and well established company with insurance in place provided by FDIC insurance for their Coinbase USD Wallet of up to $250,000 and is also registered with FinCEN as a Money Services Business.

Since Coinbase Pro is the part of Coinbase designed for professional traders, this more advanced platform is just as reputable as the regular Coinbase exchange. Coinbase was founded in June 2012 as a digital currency wallet as well as a platform for consumers and merchants to make transactions using the then-new digital currencies, such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Ethereum. Coinbase is based in San Francisco, California, and has more than 20 million users with more than $150 billion traded.

Who is Coinbase Pro Aimed At?

Coinbase Pro is designed to appeal to more advanced traders who want to know more than just the basics of market fluctuations related to cryptocurrency pairs. There are real-time orderbooks, trade histories, and charting tools. At the same time, the interface on Coinbase Pro is highly intuitive, making it possible for traders to start using the platform right away.

Who Can Use Coinbase Pro?

Coinbase Pro is for individual traders, not institutions. If you are in one of the geographical areas supported by Coinbase Pro, you can easily sign up for an account. You can also quickly upgrade your existing Coinbase account to Coinbase Pro. Those in Canada, Singapore, and Australia can use Coinbase Pro to access cryptocurrencies without any access to fiat.

Those in the UK, Europe, and the U.S. have support for fiat currencies, as well. The only exceptions are that those in Wyoming and Hawaii cannot use Coinbase Pro, as the platform is not yet licensed there.

European countries that are supported include Sweden, Switzerland, Slovenia, Spain, Slovakia, San Marino, Poland, Portugal, Norway, Netherlands, Malta, Monaco, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Ireland, Italy, Hungary, Greece, Finland, France, Denmark, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Belgium, Bulgaria, and Austria.

For Institutions, Coinbase offers Coinbase Custody

As Coinbase Pro is not designed for institutional clients; there is a separate platform for those groups. Coinbase Prime is specifically designed for use by institutional clients but has the same access to all Coinbase products and the diversified liquidity pool.

This platform also comes with a dedicated team with institutional coverage professionals in New York City. Another option is Coinbase Custody, which provides institutions with digital asset custody, including strict financial controls plus secure storage.

What Cryptocurrencies Does Coinbase Pro Support?

The availability of various trading pairs depends entirely on the local regulations within a given country. While users of Coinbase Pro can view the orderbook and other information related to any trading pair, they can only trade the pairs that comply with local regulators in their area. In Canada, Australia, and Singapore, the available trading pairs are ETH/BTC, LTC/BTC, and BCH/BTC.

Those in the UK can trade BTC/GBP, BTC/EUR, ETH/BTC, ETH/EUR, LTC/BTC, LTC/EUR, BCH/BTC, or BCH/EUR. Those in Europe have access to identical trading pairs, apart from support for BTC/GBP. Traders in the United States can use Coinbase Pro to trade BTC/USD, ETH/BTC, ETH/USD, LTC/BTC, LTC/USD, BCH/BTC, and BCH/USD.

Coinbase Pro Account Verification

To use Coinbase Pro, you will need to verify your account, which is done before you start trading or even deposit funds. To complete the verification process and use the platform, you must upload an official document. United States customers must upload a state ID or driver’s license. You must also provide Coinbase Pro with your residential address as well as the final four digits of your Social Security number. UK residents must upload a government ID document, passport, or driver’s license and answer verification questions based on the national identity databases. Users from other countries must upload two identification documents, such as passports, national ID cards, and driver’s licenses.

How to Trade on Coinbase Pro

The top left corner of the trading page has a dropdown menu where you select the cryptocurrency pair you want to view or trade. You can view all the pairs or narrow your options down by markets. They are divided into markets by BTC, USD, EUR, and GBP.
