Getting Started
Visit the official coinbase.com site and choose Coinbase Pro. Create an account with your verified email, set a strong password, and enable two-factor authentication (2FA). Complete the KYC identity verification process to unlock full trading features.
Deposits and Withdrawals
You can fund your Coinbase Pro account with fiat currencies like USD, EUR, or GBP via bank transfer, or deposit supported cryptocurrencies. Withdrawals are processed quickly but may take longer depending on your bank or blockchain confirmations.
Trading Interface
The Coinbase Pro trading interface provides order books, charts, and depth analysis tools. You can place market orders, limit orders, and stop orders. Advanced traders benefit from charting tools, order history, and real-time liquidity views.
Fees and Limits
Coinbase Pro uses a maker-taker fee model. Makers (those who add liquidity) generally pay lower fees than takers (those who remove liquidity). Fee tiers are based on trading volume over a 30-day period.
Security Practices
- Enable 2FA using an authenticator app.
- Set up withdrawal address whitelists.
- Use unique, complex passwords and a password manager.
- Regularly monitor login history and device activity.
API Access
Coinbase Pro supports API keys for programmatic trading. When creating keys, assign the minimum permissions required and restrict usage to specific IP addresses.
Compliance and Regulation
As a regulated exchange, Coinbase Pro complies with AML and KYC requirements. Users must provide identity verification documents to access fiat funding and high-volume trading features.
Troubleshooting and Support
If you experience issues logging in, recovering accounts, or verifying identity, visit the official Coinbase help center. Do not share passwords or full 2FA codes with anyone, even if they claim to be support staff.
