According to CoinGlass data, the Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index has recorded negative values for four consecutive days, with the latest at -0.0082%, as purchasing power in the U.S. market has once again fallen into a slump.Previously, on August 24, the Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index reappeared with a positive signal for the first time since May 19, reporting 0.0052%, temporarily ending the historically longest negative premium period of 97 days. The Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index is used to measure the price difference of Bitcoin between Coinbase Pro and Binance. A sustained negative index typically indicates that Coinbase's pricing is relatively low, which may reflect weak buying interest or significant selling pressure in the U.S. market, but it is not advisable to directly conclude that institutional funds are flowing out based solely on this indicator.

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao stated during his appearance on the podcast "When Shift Happens" that he does not oppose Hyperliquid and welcomes more centralized and decentralized trading platforms to participate in innovation, as the industry is far from saturated. He estimates that the proportion of the population holding some form of cryptocurrency is about 5% to 15%, but when calculated based on individual wealth allocation, the penetration rate of cryptocurrency assets may be less than 1%, indicating that the industry is still in its early stages.Changpeng Zhao mentioned that some members of the Hyperliquid community are trying to establish their own community by criticizing centralized trading platforms and Binance, but he views this as normal competition and does not oppose the project. Previously, Trump mentioned Hyperliquid, which is very good for the industry. Assets like HYPE, BNB, and Bitcoin could all benefit from the overall growth of the industry.Changpeng Zhao also pointed out that first movers do not necessarily become the long-term biggest winners. Google, Facebook, and Binance were not the first products in their respective fields, and later entrants can often further optimize based on the groundwork laid by the pioneers. Although he holds a significant amount of Binance shares and BNB, the centralized trading platform is just part of his asset allocation; rather than expanding a single platform, he hopes to promote the growth of the entire cryptocurrency industry.

Cryptocurrency analyst Darkfost stated on the X platform that based on the inflow of BTC from long-term holders (LTH) to exchanges, during the market peak in March 2024, LTH were most active in the bull market phase, with daily inflows to exchanges exceeding the annual average by more than five times.In contrast, LTH were relatively calm during the peak in 2025, and as the bear market began, their activity significantly increased, with the annual average daily inflow of BTC rising from about 600 to around 1000. As the market approached the bear market bottom, the inflow on certain trading days far exceeded the annual average, which aligns with the situation where previous high-level buyers realized increased losses.Darkfost noted that currently, LTH-related activities are gradually cooling down, with inflows to exchanges still significantly below the annual average, indicating a change in their behavior, and the market is becoming more rational.
