The Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index registered -0.1025% after remaining negative for 60 consecutive days since May 19, according to Coinglass. The run is the longest negative streak cited in the data.
Why it matters
A negative premium indicates Bitcoin is trading at a discount on Coinbase relative to the index benchmark. Prolonged discounts have historically coincided with weaker U.S. institutional demand, making the record streak a warning sign for Bitcoin's near-term demand profile.
Market impact
The previous record was a 40-day negative streak from January 16 to February 24. That had already exceeded the roughly 30-day stretch around the October 11 market crash.
The new 60-day record keeps selling pressure and pullback risk in focus. Traders will be watching for a sustained return above zero as evidence that U.S.-market demand is improving.
