Track OKX, Coinbase and Kraken in one dashboard

The short answer: create one read-only API key on each exchange (Read on OKX, the Query permissions on Kraken, View on Coinbase), paste all three into one tracker, and the balances add up into a single total next to your wallets. That part takes about fifteen minutes. What decides whether the total is right is knowing where each exchange keeps money its API reports separately: OKX splits funds across two accounts, Kraken runs derivatives on a separate platform with separate keys, and a Coinbase key sees one portfolio only. The exchange facts below were checked against each exchange’s own documentation on 25 September 2026.

Why track multiple exchanges in one place?

Three exchanges usually means three jobs: Coinbase as the fiat on-ramp, Kraken for staking or euro deposits, OKX for trading. Each app shows its own balance in its own quote currency, and none of them knows the other two exist. The number that matters, what you own in total and how it moved, lives in your head or in a spreadsheet you stopped updating months ago. A dashboard that reads all three does the same arithmetic as the spreadsheet, continuously, from the exchanges’ own data.

What each exchange needs from you

The screens, click by click, are in read-only API keys on OKX, Kraken and Coinbase. This guide is about what happens after the keys exist, which is where most wrong totals come from.

OKX: two accounts behind one login

OKX keeps a funding account, where deposits and withdrawals land, and a trading account, where orders and positions live. Its API reads them through different endpoints, so a tool that reads only the trading account misses coins still sitting in funding after a deposit, and the reverse. When the OKX number in a dashboard looks short, the first question is which of the two it reads.

Two more details from the OKX API documentation. Every call needs the passphrase you set when creating the key, read-only calls included, so a key pasted without it will not connect. And read-only keys do not expire, while keys holding Trade or Withdraw with no IP allowlist expire after 14 days of inactivity.

Kraken: asset codes and a second platform

Kraken’s balance endpoint reports assets under its own codes: Bitcoin appears as XXBT and US dollars as ZUSD. Staked and rewards balances carry suffixes on top, such as .F for balances earning in Kraken Rewards, .B for newer yield-bearing products and .S or .M for older staking. A tracker has to map all of these back to the underlying coin, or the same asset shows up twice under two names, or not at all.

Kraken’s derivatives run on a separate platform with separate API keys, created from the futures account’s own settings, which offer a read-only option of their own. A spot key, however carefully scoped, does not see futures balances. If you trade Kraken futures, check what your tracker reads before trusting the total.

Coinbase: one key, one portfolio

Coinbase lets you split an account into portfolios, and an API key is restricted to the portfolio chosen when it was created. Make a key for the default portfolio and a second one stays invisible; one key per portfolio fixes it. Coinbase’s documentation also asks for ECDSA keys rather than Ed25519 for its app APIs. An Ed25519 key can fail to authenticate, which looks like a broken tracker and is really a key format problem.

Why the total can still be wrong

• Transfers between your own exchanges. Moving USDT from OKX to Kraken is a withdrawal on one and a deposit on the other. Read naively, it looks like money left and new money arrived; for your total it nets to zero apart from the withdrawal fee.
• Quote currencies. Kraken may hold euros, Coinbase dollars, OKX USDT. The total needs one reference currency and a price for each, and a stablecoin is close to a dollar, not identical to one.
• Coins in flight. A withdrawal in progress has left one exchange and not yet reached the other, so for a few minutes the total dips by the amount in transit.
• Forgotten corners: earn products, sub-accounts, a second Coinbase portfolio, a Kraken futures wallet. Each needs to be read or knowingly left out.

None of these are exotic. They are why a spreadsheet total drifts from what the exchanges say, and why the first reconciliation is worth doing by hand: add up each exchange’s own balance screen and compare the sum with the dashboard. Once the two match, the dashboard can carry on alone.

Setting it up in TrueHold

TrueHold connects OKX, Kraken and Coinbase directly with read-only keys, alongside Binance, Bybit and other exchanges, and adds them into one total next to wallets tracked by address on EVM chains, Solana, Bitcoin and more. Open Exchanges, choose Link an exchange, pick the venue and paste the credential, with the passphrase for OKX. The exchange pages show what each connection brings in: OKX, Kraken and Coinbase. If a sync fails, the permissions screen you just left is the first place to look. When a key is no longer needed, auditing your exchange API access covers finding and deleting it.
