Please note that all fees and charges are subject to change, and it is recommended to review the most up-to-date fee information on the Coinbase platform.
Coinbase offers our cash and Hosted Cryptocurrency balance service free of charge, allowing you to store your cash and supported cryptocurrency at no cost. You can transfer crypto from one Coinbase user's primary balance to another user's primary balance without any charges.
Network transaction fees
For transactions on cryptocurrency networks (i.e., transfers of cryptocurrency off the Coinbase platform), Coinbase incurs and pays network transaction fees (e.g., miner fees). When you send cryptocurrency from your Coinbase wallet to another wallet, we will charge a fee based on our estimate of the prevailing network fees for a stand alone wallet-to-wallet send. However, the final fee that Coinbase pays may differ from the estimated fee due to factors such as batching transactions or changes in network congestion levels. All fees are disclosed at the time of the transaction.
Efficiency gains and network fees
Due to potential efficiency gains from batching transactions, the aggregate amount of estimated network fees paid by users within a given batch may exceed the final network fee paid by Coinbase.
Adding cash and cashing out
When you add cash or cash out, you may be charged a fee depending on the payment method you select. It is important to review the fee details prior to completing the transaction to understand any associated charges.
Credit transactions
If you borrow USD from Coinbase or an affiliate of Coinbase and we have to sell your BTC collateral (as authorized under an applicable loan agreement), we will charge a flat fee of 2% of the total transaction.
Lightning Network processing fee
The Lightning Network is a micropayment network that enables the transfer of bitcoin without incurring the transaction fee associated with the Bitcoin blockchain. When you send bitcoin from Coinbase via the Lightning Network, we will charge a processing fee equal to 0.2% of the amount of bitcoin transferred.
USDT processing fee
All USDT withdrawals sent from your Coinbase account will be charged a processing fee equal to 0.01% of the amount transferred, with a maximum of 20 USDT. A separate network transaction fee will also apply.
USDC processing fee
A 0.10% USDC processing fee is applied to any net conversion amount above a $5 million threshold within a 30-day rolling period. Your net conversion volume is calculated by subtracting the total amount of USD or PYUSD you convert to USDC from the total amount of USDC you convert to USD or PYUSD.
Coinbase fees
When you buy, sell, or convert cryptocurrencies on Coinbase or using the DEX trading feature, fees are charged. These fees are calculated at the time you place your order and can be influenced by factors such as your chosen payment method, order size, market conditions, jurisdictional location, asset, and other costs we incur to facilitate your transaction.
Before submitting your transaction, you can view the fees in the trade preview screen. Please note that fees may vary for similar transactions. By completing an order, you agree to pay the applicable Coinbase fees for that transaction.
Spread
When you place simple buy and sell orders, Coinbase includes a spread in the quoted price. The spread is also included in the exchange rate when converting from one cryptocurrency to another.
You can see the spread in the order preview screen. For additional detail on the preview screen:
Buy and sell orders: tap on the tooltip next to your asset's price line item to view the spread.
Convert orders: tap on the tooltip next to your quoted exchange rate.
The spread helps increase the likelihood of a successful transaction and allows Coinbase to lock in your quoted price temporarily while processing your order. Coinbase may retain any excess spread from a transaction. Please note that the spread may vary for similar transactions.
DEX trading
In addition to the standard Coinbase fee, Coinbase may charge an additional service fee for transactions that occur on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) with our DEX Trading feature. Part of this service fee may be used to cover network fee payments. Coinbase may retain any excess service fee from a transaction. This service fee is not eligible for Coinbase One Zero Fee Trading benefits.
For DEX trades, the quoted price is an estimate and the final price may vary based on the execution price on the DEX. The execution price will not increase more than the slippage tolerance displayed prior to placing your order.
DEX transactions are submitted to the blockchain in a manner designed to prevent bots from seeing your transaction and manipulating prices before your trade executes.
Slippage helps your DEX trades succeed during price volatility. DEX aggregators help minimize slippage. The final amount you receive may vary and the DEX aggregators that route your trade may retain any price improvement over the quoted price as a fee.
You’ll see a breakdown of applicable fees under price details before submitting your DEX trade.
Coinbase Advanced
No spread is included for Coinbase Advanced because you're interacting directly with the order book.
Coinbase One
Coinbase One is a subscription product that offers zero trading fees when members buy and sell cryptocurrencies, with certain limitations. For certain trades occurring on Coinbase, members may still have a spread included in their quoted prices. For trades via the Dex Trading Feature, members may still be charged a separate service fee that is not eligible for Coinbase One Zero Trading benefits.
Changes to trading fees and spread
Coinbase occasionally tests changes to fees and spread. These changes may be rolled out across different regions, assets, order sizes, and types of trades.
Order preview screen
When making a trade, you will see a screen with a preview providing details about your trade. This preview shows you the total amount you will pay for the trade, including spread and fees described previously in this section. This information about spread and fees is also available in your transaction history for completed transactions.
Trade execution
All trades from your Primary Balance are executed through Coinbase Exchange's central limit order book or competitive auctions. This does not include trades that occur with our DEX Trading feature. You can view a market’s order book, bid, ask, and depth in real-time. These order books determine the quoted prices you see during trading.
Coinbase does not have any payment for order flow (PFOF) relationships with market makers.
Spending with the Coinbase Card has no transaction fees.
Coinbase does include a spread in the price to buy or sell cryptocurrencies. This allows us to temporarily lock in a price for trade execution while you review the transaction details prior to submitting your transaction.
You may be charged fees by an ATM operator. Please refer to your Coinbase Cardholder Agreement for further details.
All fees are disclosed in the Cardholder Agreement and User Agreement. There are no Coinbase transaction fees but a spread applies when we buy, sell, or trade cryptocurrencies.

The estimated value of the recovery may differ from the actual market value of the recovery.
