Coinbase (API)

What is Coinbase Prime (API)?

Coinbase Prime is an **institutional-grade prime brokerage platform**, combining **secure custody**, **advanced trading**, and **financing solutions** for institutions managing digital assets :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

With over 420 assets under custody and $315 billion in quarterly institutional trading volume, Prime delivers deep liquidity and smart order routing across top-tier venues :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4} :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}.

The API infrastructure allows for granular control: create wallets, place high-volume orders, monitor real-time market data, and automate client and transaction workflows :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}. Security is reinforced by named-access API keys with scoped permissions (read-only, trade, transfer), IP whitelisting, and Coinbase’s institutional-grade custody controls including MPC, insurance, and SOC–2 compliance :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}.

Coinbase Prime Onchain Wallet adds a non‑custodial layer, enabling secure smart contract interaction across Ethereum, Base, and Solana, accessible through the Prime API—ideal for institutions building Web3 integrations :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}. Users can automate trade execution, withdrawals, and secure on‑chain workflows programmatically.

As an API-first platform, Coinbase Prime integrates directly with tools like Coinbase Exchange, Custody, and Prime-branded services—supporting connectivity with portfolio systems (e.g., BlackRock Aladdin), and more :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}. It’s designed for seamless alignment with institutional asset management processes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What levels of API access and permissions are supported?

Coinbase Prime supports scoped API keys: **read-only**, **read + trade**, and **read + trade + transfer**, enabling clients to control permissions according to workflow needs :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}. :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}

Can I automate trading and custody workflows programmatically?

Yes—Prime API supports automated wallet creation, trade placement (REST/FIX), and real-time market data via WebSocket :contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15}. Cryptoworth ingests these events, mapping order data, balance changes, and custody activity to journal entries. This enables enterprise-grade reconciliation and reporting. See our Crypto Audit pillar for implementation guides.

How is on‑chain activity via Prime Onchain Wallet tracked?

Prime Onchain Wallet provides institutional-grade access to Ethereum, Base, and Solana. Cryptoworth captures on-chain actions—transaction labeling, gas usage, bridge activity, and contract interaction—via API integration. These are tagged as transfers, fees, and asset movements.
