Coinbase’s Bitcoin premium has dropped into negative territory for the first time since May. This development is bearish for the flagship crypto as it suggests that demand from the U.S. may be waning. Coinbase Bitcoin Premium In The Red CryptoQuant data shows that the Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index is at -0.00254829, marking the first time it has been in the red since May 29, when it was at -0.01626105. This Index tracks the difference between the Bitcoin price on Coinbase and the Bitcoin price on Binance. It is also used to gauge the spot demand for BTC from institutional and retail investors in the U.S. Related Reading: Finance Author Warns Of Great Depression Style Crash, Is Bitcoin The Answer? As such, this development suggests that the demand for BTC among U.S. investors is currently low. This is significant considering that Bitcoin rallies to new highs have coincided with the Coinbase premium being in positive territory. This highlights how much demand from the U.S. contributes to BTC’s uptrend. In recent times, this demand has mainly come from the Bitcoin ETFs, with Coinbase acting as a custodian for eight out of the eleven spot BTC funds. Notably, the drop in the Coinbase Bitcoin premium coincides with the drop in the net inflows and increase in outflows from these funds. SoSo Value data shows that these funds recorded net outflows of $114.83 million on July 31. Before now, they had also gone on a 3-day streak of consecutive net outflows between July 21 and 23. This indicates a wave of profit-taking among these investors, especially following the recent Bitcoin rally to a new all-time high (ATH) of $123,000. In an X post, CryptoQuant also confirmed this wave of profit-taking. The platform revealed that Bitcoin just saw its third major profit-taking wave of this bull run. Realized profits spiked to between $6 and $8 billion in late July, similar to March and December 2024 peaks. CryptoQuant added that it was new whales who led the selling above $120,000. New Investor Dominance Is Growing With Market In Stable Condition In a CryptoQuant on-chain analysis, analyst Axel revealed that new investor dominance is growing and that the market is still stable in this late Bitcoin bull cycle phase. He alluded to the demand and supply between new and old investors metric and noted that the peaks of 64% in March 2024 and 72% in December 2024 coincided with local price maximums. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bull Market Is Over? Analyst Calls 50% Crash To $60,000 The analyst noted that during those periods, the influx of new liquidity into Bitcoin was exhausted, and old holders began actively taking profits. However, this time is different, as the current value of the demand and supply between new and old investors is 30%, which is only half of the overheated levels. Axel added that the trend is directed upward as the cumulative activity of young coins has been steadily growing since July 2024. The analyst remarked that this indicates that a notable layer of new buyers is entering the Bitcoin market. Meanwhile, pressure from the old holders is not yet critical. At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $115,550, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com
Coinbase (COIN) shares experienced a decline on Thursday after the cryptocurrency exchange reported second-quarter revenue that fell short of analysts’ expectations, according to CNBC. Weaker Trading Volumes Impact Coinbase For the period ending June 30, Coinbase reported a net income of $1.43 billion, or $5.14 per share, a significant rise from just $36.13 million, or 14 cents per share, in the same quarter the previous year. This growth was largely driven by a $1.5 billion gain from its investment in Circle (CRCL) and an additional $362 million from its crypto investment portfolio. On an adjusted basis, the company earned $1.96 per share, surpassing estimates of $1.26, according to LSEG. Related Reading: JPMorgan, Coinbase Forge Historic Pact For Direct Bank-Crypto Wallet Integration By 2026 However, total revenue slightly increased to $1.5 billion, up from $1.45 billion a year ago, yet it still fell short of the anticipated $1.6 billion. Transaction-related revenue totaled $764 million, which missed StreetAccount’s estimates of $787 million. As a result, shares fell 6% in after-hours trading. Analysts had predicted a weaker second quarter following a period of market enthusiasm in the first quarter, when traders were optimistic about potential regulatory improvements from the Trump administration. As attention in Washington shifted towards tariffs, speculative trading by retail investors declined across centralized crypto exchanges (CEXs). Nonetheless, inflows into crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and purchases by treasury companies helped sustain market prices. Short Of Analyst Expectations Coinbase did report a 16% year-over-year growth in retail trading volume, reaching $43 billion. However, this was below the $48.05 billion expected by analysts. The company’s subscription and service offerings, which encompass stablecoins, staking, interest income, and custody services, experienced a 9% increase from the previous year, totaling $655.8 million. This figure was also below analysts’ projections of $705.9 million. Revenue from stablecoins, a key theme in the crypto market during the second quarter, came in at $332.5 million, closely aligning with estimates of $333.2 million. This represented a substantial 38% increase compared to the same period last year and a 12% rise from the first quarter. Related Reading: Chainlink Acknowledged By The White House As Key Player In Crypto Infrastructure The surge in stablecoin interest was partly fueled by the successful June IPO of Circle, the issuer of the USDC stablecoin. Coinbase benefits from a revenue-sharing agreement with Circle, allowing it to retain 100% of the revenue generated from USDC held on its platform and approximately 50% of revenue from USDC on other platforms. Despite the challenges in trading volumes, the company announced plans to broaden its services beyond cryptocurrencies, introducing tokenized real-world assets, derivatives, prediction markets, and early-stage token sales, starting with US users. Year-to-date, Coinbase shares remain up more than 50%, outperforming the S&P 500 benchmark, which the stock joined in May. As of this writing, COIN closed the trading day at $377.

TRX's price trends to the upside on the daily chart. Source: TRXUSD on Tradingview Institutional Confidence and TRON Whale Activity Soar TRON’s strategic growth has been boosted by a 526% surge in whale transactions, coupled with record-high unrealized profits on the network. Following its successful Nasdaq listing via a $100 million reverse merger with SRM Entertainment, TRON Inc. is increasingly attracting institutional capital. This mirrors corporate strategies like MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin reserves, signaling a potential paradigm shift in blockchain finance. Technical indicators remain bullish. TRX sits above key moving averages, with momentum metrics such as MACD and RSI supporting continued price strength. Analysts suggest a breakout above $0.35 could set the stage for a rally toward $0.43. Stablecoin Dominance and Ecosystem Expansion TRON now hosts over $80.8 billion in USDT, surpassing Ethereum in Tether supply and processing over $20 billion in USDT daily. The network’s low-cost infrastructure has made it a preferred choice for stablecoin transactions, bolstering its position in cross-border payments.

Strong Q2 results from Robinhood and Coinbase's partnership with JPMorgan highlight growing traction for digital assets, they said.
JPMorgan Chase and crypto exchange Coinbase have announced a new partnership on Wednesday that marks a pivotal shift in the relationship between traditional finance and digital assets. As the crypto industry experiences a bullish resurgence, fueled by a more favorable regulatory environment in the United States, major financial institutions are reassessing their earlier skepticism toward digital currencies and are now eager to explore the opportunities within this sector. JPMorgan’s Collaboration With Coinbase The recent passage of key legislation—the GENIUS Act, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, and anti-Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) bills—through Congress has encouraged more banks and firms to consider integrating digital assets into their operations. Related Reading: XRP, Dogecoin, And Shiba Inu Get Major Boost From Gemini Exchange Announcement This renewed interest comes at a time when the cryptocurrency market has reached an impressive valuation of approximately $4 trillion, with expectations for continued growth as regulatory clarity emerges in major markets. Starting in 2026, JPMorgan customers will be able to fund their Coinbase wallets using Chase credit cards, according to Reuters, therefore facilitating easier access to cryptocurrency purchases. The partnership also allows Chase customers to redeem credit card reward points for Circle’s USDC stablecoin. This feature, alongside the ability to link bank accounts directly to Coinbase for funding crypto purchases, reflects the increasing integration of digital assets into everyday financial transactions. Financial Giants Step Into The Crypto Market Stablecoins, which are designed to minimize price volatility, are positioned as essential tools for facilitating seamless transactions in both trading and payments. They are now under a new regulatory framework established by the GENIUS Act, which was signed by President Donald Trump. Market analysts have noted that the adoption of cryptocurrencies is set to accelerate in light of the recent legislative changes. BCA Research highlighted that companies within the crypto ecosystem are well-positioned to benefit from this growth, suggesting that increased adoption will lead to price appreciation for digital assets.

Coinbase’s stock, COIN, has responded positively to the partnership news, rising by 6% in Wednesday’s trading session, closing the day at $377 and reflecting a broader trend in the company’s performance. With shares up around 50% this year, Coinbase has achieved a market capitalization of approximately $95 billion, further solidifying its role as a leader in the cryptocurrency space. Reuters highlighted that the crypto exchange’s recent inclusion in the S&P 500 index underscores its growing significance and acceptance in the mainstream financial world. Other financial institutions are also taking steps to engage with the crypto market. Earlier this month, PNC Bank announced its collaboration with Coinbase to offer cryptocurrency trading to its customers, indicating that the interest in digital assets is not limited to JPMorgan alone. Citibank, Morgan Stanley, and Bank of America are among the largest US banks joining this growing trend, in which cryptocurrencies are expected to benefit tremendously.

Data shows the Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap recently broke its longest ever streak of positive values. Here’s what this could mean for the market. Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap Turned Negative Recently In a new post on X, CryptoQuant community analyst Maartunn has talked about the recent trend in the Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap. The “Coinbase Premium Gap” refers to an indicator that keeps track of the difference between the BTC price listed on Coinbase (USD pair) and that on Binance (USDT pair). The former cryptocurrency exchange is primarily used by US-based investors, especially large institutional entities. The latter, on the other hand, has a global userbase. As such, the Coinbase Premium Gap essentially tells us about how the buying or selling behaviors differ between the American and foreign whales. Related Reading: XRP Dormant Coins On The Move: Reason Behind Price Plunge? When the value of the metric is positive, it means the cryptocurrency is listed for a higher price on Coinbase than Binance. Such a trend implies buying pressure is stronger (or selling pressure is weaker) on the former as compared to the latter. On the other hand, the indicator having a negative value implies Binance is the platform observing a net higher accumulation as its users have pushed BTC to a higher value than on Coinbase. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the 30-hour moving average (MA) of the Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap over the past year and a half: As displayed in the above graph, the 30-hour MA Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap has mostly held a positive value for a while now, indicating that Coinbase users have been buying. This accumulation was so consistent earlier that it managed to reach a streak of 94 days, but recently, a dip into the negative territory finally broke it. “This was the longest streak in history,” notes the analyst. Since the start of 2024, US institutional investors have generally played a driving role in the market, with the price often showing correlation to the Coinbase Premium Gap. Given this pattern, a pivot to selling from this group can naturally be a bearish sign for Bitcoin. Related Reading: Ethereum Exchange Reserve Plummets: Over 1 Million ETH Withdrawn The chart shared by Maartunn shows more of a long-term view of the indicator. So, here is another graph, this one from CryptoQuant author IT Tech, that shows how the metric’s fluctuations have looked on a higher resolution over the past month: From the chart, it’s apparent that the metric has seen multiple drops into the negative zone recently, with the latest one coming during the past day. “The demand in the US Market is weakening,” says the analyst. “Caution is necessary.” BTC Price Bitcoin has been unable to find a direction as its price is still floating around $117,700.
