Coinbase maintains two exchanges: the Global Digital Asset Exchange (GDAX) and Coinbase. On GDAX, more sophisticated traders (including minor institutional players such as cryptoasset hedge funds and family offices) purchase and sell cryptoassets and establish the mid-market price. Coinbase (the brokerage) then enables ordinary investors to purchase and sell cryptoassets at these mid-market rates, charging a fee in addition.
Cryptocurrency is seeing another boom in 2021, with Bitcoin surging from $5,500-$7,500 throughout the most of 2020 to a top of $40,027 on 19 February. Coinbase experienced its most profitable quarter to date as a result of this fresh spike in Bitcoin's price, contributing $585 million of the $1.14 billion in Q4 2020 revenue. This may be why the business is seeking an initial public offering this year in order to capitalize on the current excitement around Bitcoin and cryptocurrency trading.

Due to Coinbase's fee structure, each transaction costs a significant amount of money. This is OK if your trading approach is buy-and-hold. However, if you want to do huge volume transactions, the costs are too expensive. Coinbase Pro, on the other hand, is designed for those interested in actively trading cryptocurrency. They operate on a maker-taker model, offering consumers discounts based on the volume of transactions executed on the platform. These costs begin at 0.50 percent and gradually decrease for traders with a bigger monthly trading volume.
