Important Updates!
Now, Coinbase Advanced users have an opportunity to trade with USDC trading pairs! This is an important update for US residents and beyond, as the USDC pair on Coinbase Advanced is now supported in many countries.
All API keys created before March 2024 will permanently remain active and valid until you manually delete them. You don't need to update your current connection
Coinbase Perpetual: You can now connect Coinbase Perpetual to 3Commas, but only through Manual API Connection.
Note:
Coinbase Advanced Perpetual supports collateral assets (e.g. BTC, ETH). However, the total balance display in 3Commas will not include collateral asset values at this time. If you hold collateral assets, the displayed balance may be incorrect.
3Commas only supports connecting the default portfolio (Spot account) and Perpetual account from Coinbase Advanced. Additional portfolios cannot be connected at this time.
