Those who have a customer account with Coinbase can also automatically access Pro with it. Until tomorrow, Thursday, Coinbase Pro will only allow the delivery of Cardano for the time being and will then unlock full trading with ADA when sufficient liquidity is reached.
Important to note: For now, Coinbase Pro only supports ADA payouts to external wallets to addresses in the so-called Shelley format. Coinbase’s Cardano help pages remind us that such Shelley addresses start with “addr1” and are thus easy to distinguish from old Byron addresses that start with “Ae2” or “DdzFF”. Attempts to send a Cardano transfer from Coinbase Pro to Byron addresses should be stopped automatically.
