US Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Hits Record Low as Institutional Demand Dwindles
The Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap has recently plunged into negative territory, indicating a significant shift in US trading behavior.
Currently, the gap is valued at -$122, meaning Bitcoin is trading notably cheaper on Coinbase compared to Binance.
This metric, tracked by CryptoQuant community analyst Maartunn, highlights the differing demand between US and offshore investors.
Historically, a positive premium indicates stronger buying pressure from US traders, while a negative value suggests the opposite.
The current negative reading suggests that US institutional investors are exhibiting higher selling pressure, leading to reduced demand.
In fact, this is one of the lowest values recorded in the last 18 months, matching levels seen during market downturns.
Bitcoin itself has shown relative price stability around $88,900 despite these shifts in demand among American whales.
Analysts caution that the extent of the discount on Coinbase could impact Bitcoin’s price trajectory if demand does not recover.
The relationship between the Coinbase Premium Gap and Bitcoin's spot price underscores the pivotal role of institutional behavior in the cryptocurrency market.
As the landscape evolves, the implications of US trading trends will remain crucial for understanding Bitcoin’s future dynamics.
