What is the difference between Coinbase & Coinbase pro?

Coinbase Global, Inc. owns both Coinbase and Coinbase Pro, but they offer very different platforms for trading cryptocurrency. While Coinbase is aimed at helping beginner investors make their first cryptocurrency purchase, Coinbase Pro is a professional-level trading platform aimed at active traders.

Does Coinbase charge a fee?

While it is possible to trade cryptocurrencies for one another, Coinbase charges a fee to do that on its classic platform. Coinbase Pro users, on the other hand, have been able to trade digital assets for one another in what is known as crypto-to-crypto pairs without the fees found on the basic service.

How many cryptocurrencies does Coinbase have?

All told, Coinbase has more than 170 cryptocurrencies available. One of the key advantages of Coinbase's core service is that it allows users to earn rewards by holding certain cryptocurrencies on its platform. Coinbase Pro does not offer such a benefit.

Is Coinbase safe?

"Your funds are always safe and secure with Coinbase, and your balance will be available to trade instantly," the company wrote in an email to customers in late 2022. If you're a Coinbase Pro customer who wants to continue using Coinbase services after the transition, the process for moving your funds is relatively simple.
