How this Kimchi Premium is calculated
Every asset uses one independent FX formula: Korean KRW ÷ (global USDT × USDT/USD × USD/KRW) − 1. USDT is not used as the KRW conversion denominator, because Korean USDT/KRW can carry its own premium. USDT itself is therefore measured as Korean USDT/KRW ÷ (USDT/USD × USD/KRW) − 1. Global candidates must be active SPOT instruments with usable current quotes across Binance, Bybit, Bitget and OKX. A non-USDT asset is calculated only when at least two independent overseas exchanges agree within the cross-source consensus guard, and the median of those agreeing prices is used. Single-source or disputed symbols are withheld. Coinbase USD/KRW is sanity-checked against the ECB reference before use.
Only independently verified global spot matches are shown in the scanner. Rows are not hidden merely because the premium is large: a verified extreme can remain visible, while ±20% extremes are excluded only from the representative market median. This snapshot does not guarantee an executable arbitrage spread.
What is the Kimchi Premium?
It is the percentage gap between Korean KRW exchange prices and a comparable global spot reference after conversion to the same currency basis.
Why do Kimchi Premium sites show slightly different values?
Different Korean venues, global references, FX sources, stablecoin assumptions, update timing and symbol matching can all change the result.
Does a high premium mean arbitrage is immediately executable?
No. Deposits and withdrawals, network status, fees, order-book depth, FX costs and transfer time all matter. This page is a market-comparison tool.
