Coinbase Premium Gap at Lowest: Institutional BTC Sales

2 min read

The Coinbase Premium Gap metric is used to estimate institutional investors’ demand for Bitcoin (BTC) compared to retail investors and has fallen to its lowest level in over a year. According to CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost, the BTC price on the Coinbase Advanced Trade platform being lower compared to Binance indicates intensifying institutional selling pressure. The Coinbase Premium Gap is currently at -167.8 and the lowest value since December 2024.

Coinbase Premium Gap at Yearly Lowest Level

The indicator, which has been declining since mid-October, accelerated last week. CryptoQuant noted that institutional demand has reversed. This metric provides a critical signal for BTC detailed analysis by measuring the premium or discount status of the BTC price on Coinbase compared to other exchanges.

Institutional Selling Pressure and ETF Outflows

US spot Bitcoin ETFs bought 46,000 BTC during this period last year but sold 10,600 BTC in 2026, creating a 56,000 BTC demand gap. Last week, there were $1.2 billion outflows from ETFs. This indicates that institutional investors are avoiding risk and has pushed the BTC price below $71,000 to a 15-month low.

BTC Current Price and Technical Indicators

Currently, the BTC price is at 71.649,05 USD level, down -5.89% in the last 24 hours. RSI at 21.66 is in oversold territory, the overall trend is downward, and Supertrend is giving a bearish signal. Resistance is forming above EMA 20: 83.047,95 USD.

Support and Resistance Levels

  • Supports: S1: 70.165,92 USD (81/100 ⭐ Strong, -2.35% distance)
  • S2: 58.306,99 USD (52/100 medium, -18.86% distance)
  • Resistances: R1: 73.418,94 USD (68/100 ⭐ Strong, +2.17% distance)
  • R2: 76.620,12 USD (60/100 ⭐ Strong, +6.63% distance)
  • R3: 80.388,44 USD

Investors should monitor these levels for BTC futures. If the downtrend continues, S1 could be tested.

Vitalik Buterin Reveals Ethereum’s (ETH) Future Plans – Here’s What’s Planned

The post Vitalik Buterin Reveals Ethereum’s (ETH) Future Plans – Here’s What’s Planned appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin presented the network’s new roadmap, which includes its short-, medium-, and long-term goals, at the Developer Conference held in Japan today. Scalability, cross-layer compatibility, privacy, and security were the prominent topics in Buterin’s speech. Buterin stated that the short-term focus will be on increasing gas limits on the Ethereum mainnet (L1). He said that tools such as block-level access lists, ZK-EVMs, gas price restructuring, and slot optimization will be used in this context. The goal is to maintain the network’s decentralization while increasing scalability. The medium-term goal is to enable trustless asset transfers between Layer-2 (L2) networks and achieve faster transaction finality. In this context, “Stage 2 Rollup” solutions, proof-of-conduct combinations, and optimizations for reading data from L1 are on the agenda. Furthermore, network optimizations such as shortening slot times, fast finality protocols, and erasure coding are planned to improve user experience and security. Buterin emphasized that privacy is a priority for both the short and medium term. Zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs, anonymous pools, encrypted voting, and scrambling network solutions are highlighted to protect the privacy of users’ on-chain payments, voting, DeFi transactions, and account changes. Furthermore, secure execution environments, secret query techniques, and the ability to conceal fraudulent requests and data access patterns are also targeted when reading data from the chain. Buterin’s long-term vision highlights a minimalist, secure, and simple Ethereum. This roadmap includes resistance to the risks posed by quantum computers, securing the protocol with mathematical methods (formal verification), and transitioning to ideal cryptographic solutions. Buterin stated that these strategic steps will transform Ethereum into a more scalable, user-friendly, and secure infrastructure. With the strengthening of L2 networks, more users will be able to use Ethereum with less trust assumptions. The ultimate goal is for Ethereum to become a reliable foundational infrastructure for global…
