Spot Order Routing to Coinbase Exchange

Docs Added: 2025-OCT-7 Introducing support to route spot orders to rest and match on equivalent Coinbase Exchange books. Unless otherwise noted, the following only applies for spot instruments configured to route orders to Coinbase Exchange, orders routed to Coinbase Exchange, or fills on orders routed to Coinbase Exchange. Where noted, “forwarded” properties indicate that Coinbase International Exchange will publish data from Coinbase Exchange. For example, in the REST API’s List Instruments endpoint, for spot instruments configured to route orders to Coinbase Exchange, the qty_24hr property is forwarded, meaning it will represent the 24 hour trading volume for the instrument on Coinbase Exchange rather than on Coinbase International Exchange. For data returned by Coinbase Exchange, please refer to the Coinbase Exchange API documentation.
