Bitcoin has hit $62K, a notable milestone for the cryptocurrency. However, despite this upward movement, the Coinbase premium has entered a 77-day negative streak.
According to reporting from CoinTelegraph, this persistent discount suggests that US spot buyers have remained less aggressive than overseas traders. Interestingly, this trend has continued even as US Bitcoin ETF inflows turned positive in July.
The Coinbase premium is an indicator of the difference in price between Bitcoin on Coinbase and other major exchanges. A negative premium can indicate that US-based buyers are not driving up the price of Bitcoin as much as buyers in other regions.
