How Long Do Coinbase Pro Orders Take?

When you place an order on Coinbase Pro, the order is first sent to our matching engine. If the order is immediately matched with an existing order, it will be filled.

If there is no existing order at the price you have selected, your order will enter the order book and wait to be filled by another user.

How long an order takes to fill can depend on a few factors:

NOTE: WARNING: The length of time it takes for an order to be completed on Coinbase Pro can vary greatly depending on the asset being traded and the market conditions. Therefore, it is important to keep in mind that orders may take anywhere from a few minutes to several days or longer to be completed. It is also important to note that Coinbase Pro is not responsible for any losses incurred due to delays in completing orders.

The size of your order: Larger orders are more likely to take longer to fill because it can be more difficult to find a counterparty with the same size order.

The current liquidity of the market: If the market is very liquid (lots of buyers and sellers), your order is more likely to be filled quickly. If the market is illiquid (fewer buyers and sellers), your order may take longer to fill.

The price of your order: Orders that are significantly away from the current market price are less likely to be filled immediately. You may need to wait for the market to move closer to your price before your order is filled.

In general, orders on Coinbase Pro are filled quite quickly, especially if they are not large orders or significantly away from the current market price. However, there can be times when the market is slow or illiquid and your order may take longer to fill.
