Coinbase Pro is a rebranded GDAX with a new and improved user interface. Coinbase Pro is aimed at individual traders whilst Coinbase Prime is for institutional clients only. GDAX will continue to be available, until June 29th, when it will retire. LocalBitcoins, CoinMama, GDAX, Kraken, and Coinbase are all well-known exchanges, but if you are new to the world of buying and selling cryptocurrencies, chances are, you don’t know which exchange to choose. Coinbase and Kraken are two of the most commonly recommended options for buying and selling cryptocurrencies, due to their benefits.
