Coinbase Premium Turns Positive, but Coinbase Prime Volume Drops 36.6%

  • Coinbase Premium rose from -0.0289% on Sept 21 to +0.0385% on Sept 23
  • Coinbase Prime volume fell 36.6% to 8,950.73 BTC ($412.89M)
  • CME leveraged funds held 11,899 shorts vs 5,545 longs as of Sept 15
  • VIX eased to 14.21 while the dollar index rose to 100.69
Why it matters: The premium's return to positive territory points to US spot demand, but shrinking institutional volumes and heavy CME short positioning argue against a sustained capital inflow.
