Coinglass: Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index (price gap across exchanges) stays negative 40 days at -0.0467%

According to Coinglass, the negative streak is the longest since the index began, implying persistent U.S. selling pressure and softer U.S. spot market demand as Coinbase’s BTC trades below the global average.

Fact Check
Multiple reports referencing CoinGlass data support that the Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index has been negative for an extended consecutive period with a value around -0.0467%. News sources and social media posts show slight variation in the reported number of consecutive negative days—ranging between 33 and 37—but they consistently affirm the negative streak and the approximate index value indicated in the claim. The most authoritative and recent article cites 36 consecutive negative days at -0.0467%, closely matching the statement’s details. No evidence contradicts the idea of a sustained negative period. However, since all sources are secondary or tertiary references to CoinGlass rather than direct data screenshots or official CoinGlass announcements, there remains some uncertainty about the exact count being 40. Therefore, while the general substance of the statement (negative streak and approximate value) is credible, the precise '40 consecutive days' figure likely exaggerates the verified range by several days, warranting medium confidence in its full accuracy.
