Coinbase’s Bitcoin Premium Signals US-Driven Rally to $112K—Here’s Why It Matters
Bitcoin's price surge isn't just hype—it's a Coinbase premium story.
US investors are piling in, pushing BTC to $112,000 as exchange spreads reveal institutional FOMO. Wall Street's late to the party (again), but the on-chain data doesn't lie.
When Coinbase trades at a premium, Main Street leads. This time? They're dragging hedge funds along for the ride.

That gap had reached an even wider margin earlier, peaking at $87.76 last week. This suggests that institutional and retail interest in the US has remained elevated during recent price climbs.

The Coinbase Premium tracks the price difference between Bitcoin on Coinbase, which caters mainly to US and institutional users, and Binance, the global leader in trading volume and a hub for offshore retail traders.
