How to read the numbers
Positive (Coinbase price higher): buyers in the US — ETFs, institutions, US retail — are paying more than the rest of the world, meaning strong US buying. Many big Bitcoin rallies came with a sustained positive premium.
Negative (Coinbase price lower): the US side is selling more or buying less; a deep negative premium is often seen during market panics.
Typical values are within ±0.1%. A single reading says little — look at the average trend over hours and days.
Methodology: (Coinbase BTC-USD mid price − Binance BTC/USDT mid price) ÷ Binance price, sampled from both exchanges at the same moment every minute. Binance prices in USDT, so when USDT drifts from $1 this figure shifts slightly too.
