The kimchi premium and Korean exchange news of the last 24 hours, as of 9:00 AM KST on November 9, 2026.
1Today's Kimchi Premium
The Bitcoin kimchi premium is +0.52%, up 0.32 pp from 24 hours ago (+0.20%). Over the last 24 hours it ranged from a low of −0.07% to a high of +0.99%, with an average of +0.11%.
The CoinGaja Kimchi Premium Index, which reads the whole Korean market from the top 30 coins by trading value on Upbit, is +0.93% (+0.45 pp vs the previous day).
Among coins with at least ₩1 billion traded in 24 hours, the highest premiums are SIGN +6.02%, ERA +1.52%, ETC +1.26%.
Highest premiums among coins with at least ₩1 billion traded
| Rank | Coin | Premium | 24h change | Worth noting |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | SIGN | +6.02% | +0.84% | - |
| 2 | ERA Caldera | +1.52% | +3.96% | - |
| 3 | ETC Ethereum Classic | +1.26% | −3.60% | - |
| 4 | STX Stacks | +1.18% | −6.42% | - |
| 5 | BFC Bifrost | +1.14% | −2.57% | - |
On the other side, these coins are cheaper in Korea than abroad (a reverse premium): SOON −0.42%, LA Lagrange −0.37%, ARK −0.25%.
2Tether Premium
USDT trades at ₩1,370 in Korea, 0.54% above the KRW/USD rate (₩1,361.7). That is up 0.29 pp from 24 hours ago (+0.25%).
USDT is trading a little above the exchange rate: buyers in Korea slightly outnumber sellers. When the Tether premium rises, every coin's kimchi premium looks higher too, so it is worth checking both together.
3Deposit and Withdrawal Suspensions
50 coins have deposits or withdrawals suspended right now (Upbit 10 · Bithumb 24 · Coinone 30 · Digital X 12; a coin closed on several exchanges counts once).
- Newly suspended in the last 24 hours: Upbit POL (Polygon Ecosystem Token) – some networks suspended, Nov 9 07:38; Upbit JPYC (JPY Coin) – some networks suspended, Nov 9 07:38
- Reopened: Upbit BTC – deposits and withdrawals reopened, Nov 9 07:38; Upbit POWR – deposits and withdrawals reopened, Nov 9 07:38; Upbit ETH – deposits and withdrawals reopened, Nov 9 07:38; Upbit ETC – deposits and withdrawals reopened, Nov 9 07:38; Upbit SNT – deposits and withdrawals reopened, Nov 9 07:38; Upbit QTUM – deposits and withdrawals reopened, Nov 9 07:38; Upbit XRP – deposits and withdrawals reopened, Nov 9 07:38; Upbit WAVES – deposits and withdrawals reopened, Nov 9 07:38 and 72 more
- Announced suspensions: Nov 9 20:00 Upbit – ENJ: deposits and withdrawals temporarily suspended; Nov 10 19:00–20:00 KST Kraken (Canada) – order system maintenance (orders may be slow or rejected, trading not halted); Nov 10 23:00 Upbit – IOST network: deposits and withdrawals temporarily suspended; Nov 15 03:00–11:00 KST Coinbase (USA) – system maintenance (some features may be slow or not work, trading not halted)
When deposits are closed, coins are hard to bring in from abroad, so the kimchi premium can widen a lot. Before you send coins, check both the sending and the receiving exchange on the exchange wallet status page.
