Coinbase portfolio tracker

Coinbase is many people’s fiat gateway and long-term parking spot, and its clean interface still shows only its own island. The dollars-in, coins-held, staking-on picture stops at the edge of the account; your Ledger and your other exchanges are someone else’s problem.

Coinbasein TrueHold

TrueHold reads Coinbase with a view-only key and puts the account where it belongs, inside your full portfolio: next to the Base wallet that shares its ecosystem, the other exchanges you trade on, and the cold storage you moved coins to. One total, with the Coinbase slice honestly counted.

How it connects

  1. 01

    Create a read-only API key

    In Coinbase: Settings, API, new key with view permission only. Trade and transfer capabilities are never requested.

  2. 02

    Paste the credential

    Stored encrypted, used for reading balances and history. Coinbase enforces the view-only scope on their side.

  3. 03

    Watch it assemble

    Coinbase balances join your total next to Base wallets, other exchanges and cold storage.

What you will see

Balances and history
Holdings and transactions read through the official API, view scope only.
Pairs with your Base wallet
The exchange and the L2 it incubated tracked side by side, with the on-chain side needing only an address.
View-only scope
The key cannot trade, send or withdraw. Coinbase enforces the scope; you can revoke it any time.
Part of the exit picture
When coins leave for self-custody, both sides of the move stay visible in one history.

Questions people ask

The key you create has view permission only, enforced by Coinbase server-side. It can read balances and history and cannot move anything.

No. Tracking both the exchange and the wallet lets transfers be recognized as moves between your own accounts, not as losses and gains.

Yes. Revoke the key in Coinbase settings or remove the account in TrueHold; either action ends access immediately.

Not for tracking. Coinbase balances, history and PnL are on the free plan; Premium is for tax-ready exports and other extras, not for seeing your own money.

TrueHold refreshes the account continuously: a change on Coinbase shows up within minutes, and prices tick from live feeds. The dashboard is something you glance at, not something you re-sync by hand.

Both, each with its own key. TrueHold keeps them apart where detail matters and sums them where the total does.

Yes, from both ends: revoke the key in Coinbase so nothing can be read, and remove the account in TrueHold to delete what was already read.
