The price of Bitcoin jumped by more than double digits over the past week, putting in one of its best performances so far in 2025. After struggling under $87,000 for the past two months, the flagship cryptocurrency has finally returned above the $90,000 level.
It remains unclear whether the recent BTC price surge is a continuation signal for the bull cycle. However, the latest on-chain data suggests that the investor sentiment might be turning positive again, meaning that the Bitcoin bull run could truly be back on.
‘ETF Printer Goes Brrr’ – Crypto Analyst
In an April 25 post on the X platform, a crypto analyst with the pseudonym Maartunn shared an on-chain insight into the recent price rally experienced by the world’s largest cryptocurrency. According to the online pundit, the growing appetite of exchange-traded fund (ETF) investors in the past few days might have contributed to the Bitcoin bullish momentum.
The relevant indicator here is the Coinbase Premium Gap, which tracks the difference between the Bitcoin price on US-based Coinbase Pro (USD pair) and global Binance exchange (USDT pair). When this difference is positive, it implies BTC is trading at a higher price on Coinbase than on Binance.
Typically, a positive Coinbase Premium Gap indicates that US-based investors are purchasing Bitcoin aggressively, especially through ETF issuers that use Coinbase as a liquidity provider. According to data from CryptoQuant, this metric’s 30-hour moving average has stayed positive for more than 265 straight hours (approximately 11 days).
Maartunn noted that this is the fifth-longest streak since the spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds started trading in January 2024. Typically, a consistently positive Coinbase Premium Gap suggests that US institutional players and large investors are willing to pay above-market prices for Bitcoin — specifically through regulated channels like ETFs or custodial platforms.
This prolonged positive streak is historically correlated with positive price action and accumulation phases for the flagship cryptocurrency. Hence, the latest spike in the Coinbase Premium Gap could provide the adequate condition to sustain Bitcoin’s newly-found bullish momentum and perhaps catalyze the next significant breakout.

Opeyemi is a proficient writer and enthusiast in the exciting and unique cryptocurrency realm. While the digital asset industry was not his first choice, he has remained absolutely drawn since making a foray into the space over two years. Now, Opeyemi takes pride in creating unique pieces unraveling the complexities of blockchain technology and sharing insights on the latest trends in the world of cryptocurrencies.
Opeyemi savors his attraction to the crypto market, which explains why he spends the better parts of his day looking through different price charts. “Looking” is a rather simple way to describe analyzing and interpreting various price patterns and chart formations. However, it appears that is not Opeyemi’s favorite part – in fact, far from it.
Being able to connect what happens on a price chart to on-chain movements and blockchain activities is what keeps Opeyemi ticking. “This emphasizes the intricacies of blockchain technology and the cryptocurrency market,” he would say. Most importantly, Opeyemi thinks of any market insights as the gospel, while recognizing that he is only a messenger.
When he is not clicking away at his keyboard, Opeyemi is most definitely listening to music, playing games, reading a book, or scrolling through X. He likes to think he is not loyal to a particular genre of music, which can be true on many days. However, the fast-rising Afrobeats genre is a staple in Opeyemi’s Spotify Daily Mix.
Meanwhile, Opeyemi is a voracious reader who enjoys a wide category of books – ranging from science fiction, fantasy, and historical, to even romance. He believes that authors like George R. R. Martin and J. K.
Rowling are the greatest of all time when it comes to putting pen to paper. Opeyemi believes his reading of the Harry Potter series twice is proof of that.
Indeed, Opeyemi enjoys spending most of his time within the four walls of his home. However, he also sometimes finds solace in the company of his friends at a bar, a restaurant, or even on a stroll. In essence, Opeyemi’s ambivert (haha! been searching for an opportunity to use the word to describe myself) nature makes him a social chameleon who is able to quickly adapt to different settings.
Opeyemi recognizes the need to constantly develop oneself in order to stay afloat in a competitive and ever-evolving market like crypto. For this reason, he is always in learning mode, ready to pick up the slightest lesson from every situation. Opeyemi is efficient and likes to deliver all that is required of him in time – he believes that “whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.” Hence, you will always find him striving to be better.
Ultimately, Opeyemi is a good writer and an even better person who is trying to shed light on an exciting world phenomenon – cryptocurrency. He goes to bed every day with a smile of satisfaction on his face, knowing that he has done his bit of the holy assignment – spreading the crypto gospel to the rest of the world.
