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.
