As of February 10, Coinglass data shows the Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index has stayed in negative territory for 26 straight days, currently at -0.0514%. Since the start of 2024, it has only posted a positive premium on 2 days. Note from BlockBeats: The Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index measures the gap between Bitcoin’s price on Coinbase (a leading U.S. exchange) and the global market average. It’s a key gauge for tracking U.S. capital inflows, institutional investment interest, and shifts in market sentiment. A positive premium means Coinbase’s Bitcoin price is above the global average—typically signaling strong U.S. buying pressure, active entry by institutions or compliant funds, ample USD liquidity, and modestly bullish investor sentiment. A negative premium, by contrast, indicates Coinbase’s price is below the global average, often reflecting heavy U.S. selling pressure, reduced investor risk appetite, rising market risk aversion, or capital outflows.

On February 10, Bitcoin slipped below $69,000, down 2.2% in 24 hours, per HTX market data.
