Other than accessibility, however, the change appears to have little functional impact on trading on Coinbase. Advanced Trade mirrors Pro in fee structure and trade execution, as it interacts directly with the Coinbase exchange order book, the blog post said.

Coinbase pledged to launch more features for Advanced Trade in the coming months as it gets close to the end for Coinbase Pro, which was formerly known as GDAX. Mobile services are also in the works, according to the blog post.


 

 

In brief

  • Coinbase Pro is Coinbase's more sophisticated exchange offering for experienced crypto traders.
  • Users can place market, limit and stop orders on the platform.
  • It also offers lower fees when buying crypto than Coinbase, depending on the type of order placed.
