What exchange does Coinbase use?

[laredotornado]

HI,

Recently created myself an account on Coinbase. Still trying to come to grips with all this stuff works but one thing I was having a hard time figuring out is what exchange does Coinbase get its Bitcoin? This four year old thread suggests Bitsstamp -- https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/quest ... coins-from , but then I've read other things that suggest Coinbase is using the GDAX exchange. Does anyone know for sure?

Coinbase runs their own exchange called GDAX trading bitcoin, litecoin and ether. If you have a Coinbase account you automatically have an account at GDAX. You may have lower limits at GDAX as their KYC/AML is a bit different than Coinbase. You might need to supply extra ID to get high limits at GDAX. When logged in to your Coinbase account open another window for GDAX and see for yourself.

Coinbase gets their Bitcoin from buying it from anyone who wants to sell it for US dollars.

Moreover, I believe that Coinbase and GDAX are essentially the same company. Coinbase is the user friendly version (anyone can handle it because it's so simple) while GDAX is the advanced version.

You should cancel your Coinbase account right away and switch to Gemini.com.

Gemini offers free wires and all types of cool stuff.
