ChainCatcher report, according to Coinglass data, Coinbase’s Bitcoin premium index has been in a negative premium zone for 76 consecutive days (since May 19), with the latest reading at -0.1012%. Previously, the index recorded a 40-day consecutive negative premium period from January 16 to February 24 this year, setting a new record for the longest stretch of negative premiums since the index’s launch, surpassing the approximately 30 consecutive days of negative premiums during the “1011 crash.” Historical data shows that prolonged negative premiums are often accompanied by outflows of U.S. institutional capital, warranting caution regarding potential short-term pullback pressure.
