Summary
Bitcoin demand has dropped to its lowest level since December, with CryptoQuant's 30-day demand metric falling to minus 147,000 BTC. The Coinbase Premium, indicating U.S. buyer aggression, has also remained negative since late April. This news reinforces the challenges Coinbase reported in its Q1 2026 earnings, which cited reduced trading volume as a key driver of significant net losses. Continued weak demand for Bitcoin suggests ongoing headwinds for Coinbase's transaction revenue and overall financial performance.
