Coinbase is a secure, regulated platform where millions of people and institutions buy, sell, transfer, and store cryptocurrency with confidence. It’s grown well beyond crypto too — commission-free stock trading, derivatives, and prediction markets now live under the same roof, so traders don’t need five different apps to cover the market.
What Sets Coinbase Apart
- Everything, One Login: Thousands of cryptocurrencies plus 24/5 commission-free stocks, all from a single account. (24/5, because eligible securities are only available to trade Monday through Friday.)
- Trade with Leverage: Futures and perpetual-style futures let experienced traders size up their positions.
- Bet on What You Know: Prediction markets let you trade real-world outcomes — sports, politics, crypto, culture — not just assets.
- Cut Your Fees: Coinbase One members trade with zero fees, plus boosted rewards and priority support.
Tools Built Into the Platform
- Pro-Level Charting: Coinbase Advanced brings real-time order books, deep liquidity, and serious charting to traders who want more control.
- Put Your Crypto to Work: Stake assets for rewards, or earn up to 3.50% APY on USDC.
- Borrow Against Your Holdings: Access up to $1M in crypto-backed loans without liquidating your position.
- Get Paid to Spend: Earn up to 4% back in Bitcoin with the Coinbase Credit Card, or crypto rewards through the debit card.
- Built for Institutions: Coinbase Prime delivers trading, financing, and custody at institutional scale.
Why Traders Trust Coinbase
- Actually Regulated: Crypto services run through Coinbase Inc., licensed by the New York Department of Financial Services; securities trade through Coinbase Capital Markets Corp, a FINRA/SIPC member.
- A Track Record at Scale: Millions of individual traders trust Coinbase — so do institutions and government clients.
- Security as a Feature, Not an Afterthought: Coinbase publishes its security practices openly, a rarity in the space.
- Rewarded for Signing Up: New users can earn crypto just for making their first qualifying purchase.
Wherever the Market Takes You
Whether this is your first crypto buy, or you’re building a portfolio that spans crypto and stocks, or you want institutional-grade tools without the institutional account minimum, Coinbase gives you a trusted, regulated home base to trade from.
