Official Site® | Coinbase Pro | Digital Asset Exchange®

Coinbase Pro is the advanced trading platform developed by Coinbase®, Inc., one of the most trusted and regulated cryptocurrency companies in the world. Designed for professional and high-volume traders, Coinbase Pro offers robust tools, real-time order books, lower fees, and deep liquidity across a wide range of digital assets.

Accessible via pro.coinbase.com, the platform allows users to trade dozens of cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and Litecoin (LTC), using advanced trading features and secure wallet infrastructure.

What is Coinbase Pro?

Coinbase Pro is a high-performance crypto exchange platform built for serious traders. Unlike the standard Coinbase app, which is designed for beginners, Coinbase Pro provides professional-grade charting tools, real-time market data, and an interface that supports limit orders, stop orders, and time-in-force settings.

Whether you're looking to execute complex trades or simply reduce fees on high-volume transactions, Coinbase Pro offers the necessary tools and infrastructure—all backed by Coinbase’s industry-leading security.

Key Features

✅ Advanced Trading Interface

Coinbase Pro includes a full trading dashboard with an intuitive layout showing real-time order books, price charts, depth indicators, open orders, and trade history.

✅ Lower Fees

One of the major benefits of Coinbase Pro is its tiered fee structure. Unlike the standard Coinbase app that charges flat fees, Pro reduces costs based on trading volume and whether you’re a maker or taker.

✅ Wide Asset Selection

Trade a broad range of digital currencies and token pairs, including:

  • Bitcoin (BTC)
  • Ethereum (ETH)
  • USD Coin (USDC)
  • Cardano (ADA)
  • Avalanche (AVAX)
  • Solana (SOL)
  • Many ERC-20 tokens and DeFi assets

✅ Fiat Currency Support

Coinbase Pro supports deposits and withdrawals in USD, EUR, and GBP, allowing easy integration with bank transfers via ACH, SEPA, or SWIFT.

✅ Secure Cold Storage

The majority of user funds are held in offline cold storage. Only a small portion is kept online to facilitate active trading—protected by industry-standard encryption, two-factor authentication (2FA), and IP whitelisting.
