The kimchi premium and Korean exchange news of the last 24 hours, as of 9:00 AM KST on November 2, 2026.
1Today's Kimchi Premium
The Bitcoin kimchi premium is +0.45%, down 0.44 pp from 24 hours ago (+0.89%). Over the last 24 hours it ranged from a low of +0.26% to a high of +0.92%, with an average of +0.55%.
The CoinGaja Kimchi Premium Index, which reads the whole Korean market from the top 30 coins by trading value on Upbit, is +1.09% (+0.39 pp vs the previous day).
Among coins with at least ₩1 billion traded in 24 hours, the highest premiums are AWE +2.21%, STEEM +2.07%, BMT +1.08%.
Highest premiums among coins with at least ₩1 billion traded
| Rank | Coin | Premium | 24h change | Worth noting |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | AWE AWE Network | +2.21% | −15.07% | - |
| 2 | STEEM | +2.07% | +2.83% | - |
| 3 | BMT Bubblemaps | +1.08% | −3.27% | New listing on Upbit (Oct 24) |
| 4 | MPLX Metaplex | +0.95% | −6.85% | New listing on Upbit (Oct 20) |
| 5 | ERA Caldera | +0.87% | −3.07% | - |
On the other side, these coins are cheaper in Korea than abroad (a reverse premium): MANTRA −3.92%, 1INCH 1inch Network −1.83%, FLOCK FLock.io −0.99%.
2Tether Premium
USDT trades at ₩1,339 in Korea, 0.54% above the KRW/USD rate (₩1,332.9). That is down 0.43 pp from 24 hours ago (+0.97%).
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
46 coins have deposits or withdrawals suspended right now (Upbit 5 · Bithumb 24 · Coinone 31 · Digital X 10; a coin closed on several exchanges counts once).
- Newly suspended in the last 24 hours: None
- Reopened: Bithumb ZIL – withdrawals reopened, Nov 1 10:23; Bithumb STABLE – deposits and withdrawals reopened, Nov 1 10:13
- Announced suspensions: Nov 3 18:00 Coinone – Polygon network: deposits and withdrawals temporarily suspended; Nov 4 09:00 Coinone – NEAR Protocol (NEAR): deposits and withdrawals temporarily suspended
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.
