FDIC premiums must be deposit based because that is how they are paid out. FDIC insures each deposit at every member bank up to $100k (actually I think they just raised it significantly). If premiums were 'asset based' they would reflect the asset the bank holds, which does not necessarily have anything to do with how much the bank holds in deposits or how much the FDIC is responsible for in case of a failure.
