The Coinbase premium indicator suggests strong underlying demand for Bitcoin above $100,000, with consistent elevated prices on Coinbase compared to other exchanges throughout June.
The premium is believed to be driven by institutional buyers like MicroStrategy and Bitcoin treasury entities, absorbing excess supply and slowly depleting available BTC in the $100K+ price zone.
The gradual absorption of demand reflects market maturity, with supply-demand imbalances unfolding in a more measured manner, indicating a bullish structural trend despite short-term price fluctuations.
The Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index remains in positive territory, pointing to sustained appetite from U.S.-based spot buyers and potential for Bitcoin to advance higher once existing supply is further reduced.
