Highest Standards of Security

Coinbase is arguably one of the most secure centralized crypto exchanges in the world. It manages assets for over 100 million customers and has earned its position as the largest publicly traded crypto exchange.

The new product from the platform, Coinbase Advanced is no exception when it comes to safety with state-of-the-art encryption and security programs.

It is important to note that the assets are held 1:1 on Coinbase and are never lent without the user’s consent. The platform is backed by an array of advanced security procedures like 2FA, biometrics for mobile, and multi-approval withdrawals in Coinbase Vault to name a few.

Another interesting point to note is that the platform allows Address Whitelisting.

Fair and transparent fee structure

Coinbase Advanced has implemented a maker-taker fee model to determine advanced trading fees. It varies for Maker Orders and Taker Orders.

Calculation of the fees is based on the pricing tier that a user is in at the time the order is placed, and not based on the tier that the user would be in after the completion of a trade.

• Starting at the 100k volume tier, the maker/taker fees are the same as major competitors (ie. Binance), at <=0.1% maker; <=0.2% taker at >$100k trade volume.
• Stable Pairs are 0 bps for maker volumes, 0.1 bps for taker volumes for all volume tier.

The fee tier is recalculated hourly based on their total trading volume.

The creative approach allows Coinbase Advanced to charge fees dynamically to the trading behavior of users, while providing flexibility and reflecting a user’s trading activity accurately.
