This page describes what the document states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
This is Coinbase's public fee schedule disclosing the costs associated with trading, transferring, staking, card usage, and asset recovery on its platform. The terms authorize Coinbase to charge a spread on buy, sell, and convert orders and to retain any excess spread, while also permitting an additional service fee on DEX trades that is separate from and not offset by Coinbase One subscription benefits. For staking services, Coinbase takes a commission of 35% of network rewards for standard accounts across supported assets including ETH, SOL, and ADA, with reduced rates available to tiered Coinbase One members.
This document governs Coinbase's pricing and fee structures for retail and institutional users across its primary balance, trading, staking, card, and asset recovery services, with no stated governing law or effective date included in the published text. The agreement states that trading fees are calculated at the time of order placement and are influenced by payment method, order size, market conditions, jurisdiction, and asset type; the terms authorize Coinbase to include a spread in quoted prices for simple buy and sell orders and to retain any excess spread from a transaction. The document discloses that for batched network transactions, the aggregate estimated fees charged to users may exceed the final network fee paid by Coinbase, a practice that may warrant evaluation under applicable consumer protection and financial services disclosure frameworks. The document engages frameworks administered by the CFPB and FTC regarding fee transparency, disclosure adequacy, and fairness in financial product pricing; staking commission structures and the DEX service fee may require evaluation under SEC jurisdiction given ongoing regulatory scrutiny of cryptocurrency staking and exchange services. The absence of a specified effective date and the explicit statement that all fees and charges are subject to change without a stated notice mechanism creates a compliance consideration regarding whether the disclosure satisfies applicable advance-notice obligations under state money transmission or consumer financial protection regulations.
