Bithumb-Binance Kimchi Premium chart
Tracks the Bithumb BTC/KRW premium (%) against Binance BTC/USDT converted with USD/KRW.
Why CoinWOW does not use Korean USDT as FX
Using local USDT/KRW as the conversion denominator can normalize away the very stablecoin premium we want to measure. CoinWOW separates USD/KRW from USDT/USD and converts overseas spot prices independently.
For non-USDT assets, one overseas quote is not enough. At least two independent global spot exchanges must agree after market-status and freshness checks.
A displayed premium is not executable arbitrage profit. Fees, transfer time, withdrawal status, slippage, network cost and price movement can materially change outcomes.
Understand the Korea premium
Use the live scanner together with the methodology and explainer pages to separate FX effects, USDT premium and reverse-premium conditions.
