U.S. spot bitcoin prices traded at a deeper discount compared to offshore markets, with the Coinbase premium remaining negative and widening over several days. Meanwhile, institutional trading volume on Coinbase Prime surged 122% to nearly 4,738 BTC on October 12, signaling increased institutional activity despite weaker U.S. spot buying appetite. CME futures data showed more short than long contracts, indicating bearish sentiment among leveraged funds. Market volatility (VIX) remained moderate but slightly increased, and the dollar index eased slightly, though high Treasury yields continue to pressure crypto liquidity. The market is awaiting whether the Coinbase premium will shift out of discount and if institutional volume growth will sustain to clarify bitcoin demand direction.
