About Coinbase
Coinbase is the world's largest publicly traded cryptocurrency exchange, having listed on Nasdaq in 2021. Operating since 2012, it serves over 110 million verified users across 100 countries. It stands out as a security-focused option, with a CASP license in Ireland and 98% of customer funds held in cold storage. Eligible USD balances held at partner banks may qualify for FDIC pass-through insurance of up to $250,000; this does not cover crypto assets or protect against an exchange failure. However, its fees are the highest in our ranking at 0.4%/0.6% in basic trading mode, so we recommend Coinbase for long-term investors buying BTC and ETH through dollar-cost averaging (DCA), rather than active traders.
