This document lays out exactly what Coinbase charges when you trade, stake, send cryptocurrency, or convert USDC — including fees, spreads, and staking commissions that can take up to 35% of your staking rewards. Several of these charges, such as the DEX service fee, apply even to Coinbase One members who otherwise receive zero-fee trading benefits. All fees are subject to change.
This fee schedule establishes the specific fees, spreads, commissions, and cost structures Coinbase applies to user transactions across its platform. It sets a 35% standard staking commission on ADA, ATOM, AVAX, DOT, ETH, MATIC, SOL, and XTZ, with tiered reductions for eligible Coinbase One members (31.75%, 28.5%, and 25.25% depending on tier). Coinbase charges fees on all buy, sell, and convert transactions — including a DEX service fee that is explicitly excluded from Coinbase One Zero Fee Trading benefits — and builds a spread into quoted prices on simple orders, which Coinbase may retain in full along with any excess spread. Network fees are based on Coinbase's estimates and may exceed actual costs when transactions are batched, with the difference potentially retained by Coinbase; additionally, a 2% flat fee applies when Coinbase sells a user's BTC collateral under a loan agreement, and a 0.10% processing fee applies to USDC conversions exceeding $5 million within a rolling 30-day period. All fees and charges are subject to change.
Users pay fees on every buy, sell, and convert transaction, and Coinbase builds an additional spread into quoted prices on simple orders that Coinbase may keep entirely. Stakers on the listed assets lose 35% of network rewards as Coinbase's standard commission, reduced only for eligible Coinbase One members at specified tier rates. Network send fees are based on estimates that may exceed actual costs, the DEX service fee applies regardless of Coinbase One membership, and a 2% fee is charged on forced BTC collateral sales. Because all fees are subject to change, users should review the current fee schedule before each transaction.
