Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Stays Negative for Nearly a Month

Bitcoin continues to trade under persistent pressure from U.S.-based demand. According to a CryptoQuant report, the Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index has remained negative for 25 consecutive days, marking one of the longest sustained discounts in recent months.

The Coinbase Premium measures the price difference between Bitcoin on Coinbase and other major exchanges.

When the metric is negative, it indicates that Bitcoin is trading at a discount on Coinbase, suggesting weaker buying interest from U.S. investors relative to global markets.

What the Chart Shows

The chart highlights repeated failures of the premium to move back above zero. Even during short-lived price rebounds, the premium remained negative, showing that upside moves were not driven by strong spot demand from Coinbase participants.

At the latest reading, the premium sits around -0.1, while Bitcoin trades near the $89,500 area, reinforcing the idea that rallies are occurring without consistent support from U.S.-based buyers.

Bitcoin’s Bottoming Process May Not Be Complete Yet

Why This Matters

Historically, sustained positive Coinbase premiums have aligned with periods of strong institutional accumulation and healthier market structure. In contrast, extended negative readings often appear during corrective or consolidation phases, when risk appetite is subdued and buyers remain cautious.

The fact that the premium has stayed negative for nearly a month suggests that U.S. demand has not yet returned in a meaningful way, even as price volatility remains elevated.

Structural Takeaway

Based solely on the chart, Bitcoin’s recent price action lacks confirmation from Coinbase-led demand. A 25-day stretch of negative premium points to ongoing caution among U.S. investors and suggests that broader sentiment remains defensive rather than accumulation-driven.

UK FCA Plans to Waive Some Rules for Crypto Companies: FT

The post UK FCA Plans to Waive Some Rules for Crypto Companies: FT appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The U.K.’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has plans to waive some of its rules for cryptocurrency companies, according to a Financial Times (FT) report on Wednesday. However, in another areas the FCA intends to tighten the rules where they pertain to industry-specific risks, such as cyber attacks. The financial watchdog wishes to adapt its existing rules for financial service companies to the unique nature of cryptoassets, the FT reported, citing a consultation paper published Wednesday. “You have to recognize that some of these things are very different,” David Geale, the FCA’s executive director for payments and digital finance, said in an interview, according to the report, adding that a “lift and drop” of existing traditional finance rules would not be effective with crypto. One such area that may be handled differently is the stipulation that a firm “must conduct its business with integrity” and “pay due regard to the interest of its customers and treat them fairly.” Crypto companies would be given less strict requirements than banks or investment platforms on rules concerning senior managers, systems and controls, as cryptocurrency firms “do not typically pose the same level of systemic risk,” the FCA said. Firms would also not have to offer customers a cooling off period due to the voltatile nature of crypto prices, nor would technology be classed as an outsourcing arrangement requiring extra risk management. This is because blockchain technology is often permissionless, meaning anyone can participate without the input of an intermediary. Other areas of crypto regulation remain undecided. The FCA has plans to fully integrate cryptocurrency into its regulatory framework from 2026.
