People are now paying a ~$7,000 premium (per BTC) for futures which expire in two months. This premium will go to zero by June 25th. There's money to be made here arbitraging contracts

Update: that premium has now crashed - hit zero on the first dump then rebounded somewhat. Now drifting down to it's eventual target of $0
