GDAX is Now “Coinbase Pro”

Coinbase is a San Francisco, California based, digital currency wallet and platform where merchants and consumers can transact with cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, ethereum, and litecoin. Coinbase has raised close to $217 million from leading investors across the globe.

On May 23rd, Coinbase Co-Founder and CEO Brian Armstrong announced ….

“Since launching in 2015, GDAX has built liquidity and stability in the space and also helped us understand the needs of active crypto traders. Switching to the name Coinbase Pro is a recognition that the individual active trader requires a product completely dedicated to their specific needs. The platform will offer professional trading tools and services, delivered through a completely reengineered UI that will make the trading experience easier and more intuitive. Anyone with an existing individual account on GDAX will automatically become a Coinbase Pro member.”
