This is the price difference between Coinbase's BTCUSD pair and Binance's BTCUSDT pair. The higher the premium means that Coinbase whales are accumulating Bitcoin despite the higher price. The 2020 bull-run was driven by institutional investors and high net-worth individuals in the U.S., and they were using Coinbase. When the Bitcoin price broke 20k, 30k, and 40k, the Coinbase premium was more than $50.
