Crypto Trading Platform Coinbase Has Landed in Australia
In Partnership with Coinbase
By Jacob Osborn - Sponsored Published: , Last Updated:
Whether you’re new to crypto or an accomplished fortune hunter, Coinbase is here to serve all your crypto needs. Already a huge platform in various locations around the world, the crypto exchange has finally landed on Australian soil (virtual soil, that is). Savvy Aussies are just a few clicks away from creating an account and taking advantage of the platform’s many services, including effortless storage, simple trading, advanced market pairing, rewards and incentives, and access to commission-free USDC trading*, amongst other things.
From Bitcoin to Dogecoin to Ethereum and more, Coinbase puts a slew of cryptocurrencies at your literal fingertips. These folks were amongst the first to create a safe and streamlined platform on which people can buy, sell, trade, and store crypto with absolute ease. Everything is laid out in a similarly approachable fashion, allowing you to keep accurate pace with your earnings and activities as you partake in the digital currency revolution.
So what can Aussie users really expect from Coinbase? Here’s a quick look at some of the platform’s key services:
Simple Trade
Once you’re up and running on Coinbase, trading crypto couldn’t be any easier than it is through their home page. Everything from your balance to your assets to your transaction history to your watchlist is laid out in a truly organised and legible fashion. Buying, selling, sending, or receiving crypto is as simple as hitting the appropriate button, following some prompts or scrolling through some menu options, and then clicking another button**. Indeed, they don’t call it “Simple Trade” for nothing.
RAT – Retail Advanced Trade
When you’re ready to move past the beginner stage and bring out your inner broker, Retail Advanced Trade is waiting. Your gateway to market pairing, this service offers enhanced tools, real-time data, international currency comparisons, and interactive charts. It also grants you access to vital features such as Borrow, Card, and dapp Wallet.***
Learning Rewards****
There are all kinds of great ways to earn crypto-based rewards when you’re rolling with Coinbase. Heck, the platform will send you crypto just for learning the trading basics through Coinbase Learning Rewards. You can reap additional rewards by locking some of your holdings in a staking pool (which helps build upon network security) or holding dollar-pegged stablecoins like Dai and USD Coin (USDC) in your account. Should you lend crypto through CeFi products or DeFi apps, that’ll earn you some rewards as well****. Coinbase will also give you $10 in Bitcoin every time you successfully refer a friend*****. Cha-ching!
USDC
Back in 2018, Coinbase co-founded the Centre Consortium to create the most trusted and reputable digital dollar and it goes by the name of USDC. This fiat-backed stablecoin is a big hit in the United States, where people use it as a secure, cheaper, and faster way to send value to another party. To help spread the word across the international stage, Coinbase will waive commission fees when customers buy or sell USDC via any fiat currency*. And as we all know, 0% fees is something no crypto-trader would argue with!
Coinbase Australia
Various countries are going crazy for crypto and Australia is certainly no exception. Sign up for Coinbase and you’ll soon discover that this ever-growing sector is far more secure and accessible than you might think. Welcome to Australia, Coinbase.
