Coinbase

Coinbase is the largest crypto exchange in the United States and one of the most regulated in the world. Brian Armstrong and Fred Ehrsam founded it in 2012, and in 2021 it became the first major crypto exchange listed on a US stock market (Nasdaq: COIN). This page tracks Coinbase trading volume, its top markets and the coins it lists in real time, compared with the top crypto exchanges.

Where is Coinbase located?

Coinbase started in San Francisco and now works as a remote-first company. It is licensed across the United States and holds licences in the European Union, the UK, Canada, Singapore and other markets.

What coins can you trade on Coinbase?

Coinbase lists fewer coins than offshore exchanges, because each asset goes through a review first. That makes each new listing big news. See the full list of coins listed on Coinbase and the latest new listings on Coinbase. Coinbase also runs Base, its own layer-2 network, and many Base ecosystem coins trade on the exchange.

What are the Coinbase fees?

Simple buys in the Coinbase app include a spread and a fee. Coinbase Advanced, which replaced Coinbase Pro in 2023, uses maker and taker fees that start at 0.40% and 0.60% and fall with volume. Coinbase One members pay no trading fees on many trades.

Is Coinbase safe?

Coinbase is a public company that reports to US regulators and keeps most customer crypto in cold storage. In 2025 it disclosed a data breach in which bribed support staff leaked customer data, and it reimbursed users who lost funds to the scams that followed.

Coinbase compared with other exchanges

US traders usually compare Coinbase with Kraken trading volume and Gemini trading volume.
