They're different tools. Coinbase is a regulated spot exchange; Hyperliquid is a non-custodial derivatives DEX. Here's an honest comparison — plus how to automate either with COTRADING.
| Hyperliquid | Coinbase | |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Decentralized DEX (on-chain order book) | Centralized exchange |
| Custody | Your wallet (non-custodial) | Exchange holds funds |
| KYC | None (wallet connect) | Required |
| Markets | Perps: crypto, tokenized stocks, FX, commodities, indices — 24/7 | Mostly crypto spot |
| Leverage | Yes (perpetuals) | Spot-focused |
| US access | Permissionless — wallet only | US-regulated |
| COTRADING automation | ✓ Agent wallet | ✓ API key (trade-only) |
