What this dashboard shows

Bitcoin kimchi premium +0.06% Upbit ₩116,000,000 / Binance in KRW ₩115,929,840 as of 10/2 12:26 KST

This is a live view of the Korean crypto market: prices for hundreds of coins listed on Upbit and Bithumb, two of Korea's major exchanges, each compared in real time against global prices, with Binance as the main global reference. The premium column is the kimchi premium—the percentage difference between a coin's Korean price and its global price after conversion using the live USD/KRW exchange rate. Prices update every second through Coinyong's live data feed.

Why watch the Korean market?

Korea is one of the world's most active retail crypto markets, and its trading is concentrated on KRW pairs that most global dashboards ignore. Because moving funds between Korean and global exchanges can involve regulatory and practical constraints, Korean prices can sometimes diverge from global prices—and the size of that gap can provide a real-time signal of local market demand and sentiment. A rising premium across major coins can indicate stronger buying pressure on Korean exchanges, while a negative premium ("reverse premium") means Korean prices are below the global benchmark. Some altcoins trade a large share of their global volume on Korean exchanges, so Korean trading activity can sometimes have a meaningful impact on price for those assets.
