Coinbase Premium Drops to 4-Year Low After Binance Hack 🚨📉
The Coinbase Premium Index, which compares Bitcoin prices on Coinbase against Binance USDT pairs, has plunged past -0.2% to its lowest level in 4 years. 📊
The last time this index dropped so low was November 2022 right after the FTX collapse, when Bitcoin bottomed near $15,500 before starting its multi-year recovery. ⏳
Why is $BTC cheaper on Coinbase right now? ⚠️
🔶 After the $6.4B Binance hack, Tether and Circle froze nearly $3B in stolen stablecoins.
🔷 Hackers and panicked traders rapidly swapped freezable USDT and USDC into unfreezable coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
🔶 That massive swap wave pushed global USDT prices higher on Binance.
🔷 Meanwhile, US traders on Coinbase sold spot BTC directly for bank cash, driving the Coinbase price down.
Is this extreme fear a cycle bottom signal once again? 🎯
Who is holding $BTC price from crashing further, hackers converting stables or real demand? 👇
