What is Coinbase?

Coinbase: the largest crypto exchange in the United States.

Coinbase earns fees when customers trade crypto, plus income from holding assets for funds, from staking and from its share of the interest on USDC reserves.

Its revenue follows crypto prices and trading volume, so the stock moves with bitcoin, usually by more. Regulation of crypto in the United States is its other main driver.

When does COINUSDT trade?

The perpetual trades around the clock, but it follows a market that is open 09:30 to 16:00 New York time. Outside those hours, and at weekends, the book is thinner and spreads are wider.

What are the risks of trading Coinbase on a prop account?

  • Results are published four times a year, after or before the New York session. A move of several percent in minutes is normal on those days.
  • The market it follows is closed at weekends. A position held through the weekend meets Monday’s opening price, which can be far from Friday’s close.
  • This is a perpetual contract: it has no expiry, and its price can sit slightly above or below the market it follows.
