Frequently asked questions

Does Coinbase or Kraken list more trading pairs?

Kraken shows more trading pairs in its public catalog: Coinbase lists 515 and Kraken lists 1,431 as of 2026-11-11. These are catalog counts of open or restricted markets, not volume, liquidity or a quality score.

Which fiat currencies do Coinbase and Kraken show in their catalogs?

In the fiat catalog facts, only Coinbase shows AUD, BRL, CAD, CHF, EUR, GBP, INR, SGD, and USD. A fiat entry is not a statement about deposit methods, fees or country eligibility.

Can I compare Coinbase and Kraken deposit and withdrawal networks?

Only partly. The radar has no network facts for Kraken. Their public APIs do not expose per-chain rails without an account, so this means "not collected", not "unsupported".

Is this a ranking of Coinbase versus Kraken?

No. This page places the public catalogs of Coinbase and Kraken side by side (markets, supported assets, and fiat). It does not cover fees, security, regulation or which exchange to use, and it does not pick a winner.
