Coinbase Bitcoin premium turns green as US institutions buy again
The renewed premium signals stronger demand on the US based exchange after an extended period of weaker institutional interest.
Coinbase Bitcoin Premium turned positive, indicating renewed buying activity from US-based institutions after an extended period of negative sentiment. The premium tracks Bitcoin’s price difference on Coinbase compared to other global exchanges, serving as a key gauge for US investor demand.
The metric functions as a market indicator that reveals when US participants are paying higher prices for Bitcoin relative to international platforms. When positive, it typically signals increased institutional buying pressure through the US-based exchange.
The shift to positive territory marks a reversal from the prolonged negative phase that had characterized the premium recently. This change suggests US institutions have resumed accumulating Bitcoin positions, reflecting improved investor confidence in digital assets.
