Coinbase Premium Turns Positive as $1.1B ETF Inflows Lift Bitcoin

Bitcoin moved higher as U.S. demand returned and ETF inflows increased. Market data showed the Coinbase Premium turning positive after weeks in negative territory. At the same time, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded strong inflows, which supported price gains toward the $68,000 level.

Coinbase Premium Turns Positive After 40 Days

The Coinbase Premium flipped to around +0.05% after nearly 40 days of negative readings. The premium tracks the price difference between Coinbase and offshore exchanges. A positive reading often signals U.S. spot demand.

Bitcoin rebounded toward $68,000 as the premium changed direction. Market participants noted that Coinbase serves many U.S. institutional investors. The shift suggested that real money flows returned to the spot market.

Analyst CryptosRus stated that flows are driving this move as the premium moved into positive territory. Derivatives data showed neutral funding rates, and leverage remained contained. This indicated that the rally was not driven by excessive speculation.

$1.1B Spot Bitcoin ETF Inflows Support Price

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded about $1.1 billion in inflows over three days. Data showed that around $652 million went into BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust. The steady demand aligned with Bitcoin’s price rebound.

ETF inflows often reflect institutional participation in the market, as the recent surge in allocations coincided with the positive Coinbase Premium. Bitcoin responded by climbing toward the $68,000 area during the same period.

Market observers said the rebound appeared linked to capital flows rather than global events. While macro conditions remained mixed, ETF demand provided steady support. The U.S. dollar remained firm, and the 10-year Treasury yield stayed near 4%.
