What is happening with Bitcoin trading at a continuous significant discount on US platforms?

Abstract generation in progress

【BlockBeats】 Recently, Bitcoin’s performance on mainstream US trading platforms has been a bit disheartening. According to Coinglass data from January 11th, Bitcoin has been in a negative premium state for five consecutive days, with the latest quote at -0.126%. More notably, over the past 28 days, 26 days have been in negative premium. This is not a small signal.

Here’s a simple explanation of what this premium index is—it’s used to compare the price of Bitcoin on major US trading platforms with the global average price. In other words, it’s an important window into the flow of funds in the US market, institutional attitudes, and overall sentiment.

What does a positive premium (price above the global average) indicate? It suggests that buyers in the US are very active, institutions or compliant funds are actively entering the market, US dollar liquidity is ample, and investor sentiment is relatively optimistic. Conversely, a negative premium (price below the global average) reveals the other side—selling pressure in the US market is increasing, investors’ risk appetite is decreasing, risk aversion is spreading, or funds are flowing out. Twenty-six consecutive days of negative premium? This indeed reflects a recent cool attitude in the US market.

Is the US in negative premium? That must be because those institutions are fleeing, really classic.

Negative premium for 26 days out of 26 days? Indeed, things are really going downhill over here in the US.

Are there 26 days of negative premium in 26 days? Are the US daddy's dumping the market? What's going on? Are institutions also starting to run away?

26 days of negative premium for 26 days, what are the big US players hinting at? This rhythm is a bit strange.

26 days of negative premium, is Uncle Sam starting to unload? Now it really depends on how institutions will scoop it up.

Negative premium for 26 days out of 26? Are the big US players dumping their holdings? The institutions probably left long ago.

nah this -0.126% premium decay is literally textbook market inefficiency screaming for arbitrage... 26 outta 28 days negative? that's not noise, that's institutional capitulation masked as liquidity rebalancing tbh
