What is the Kimchi Premium?
The Kimchi Premium (“Kimp”) is the percentage difference between crypto prices on Korean exchanges (Upbit, Bithumb) and global exchanges (Coinbase, Binance).
- Positive(+) Kimp = Prices in Korea are higher than global exchanges
- Negative(-) Kimp = Prices in Korea are lower than global exchanges
How is it calculated?
Premium (%) = { Korean Price (KRW) / [ Global Price (USD) × FX Rate ] − 1 } × 100
Why does it occur?
- Supply/Demand imbalances: Local buying surges (new listings or retail demand) can push Korean prices higher.
- Market timing: During sharp moves, domestic prices may lag overseas, creating a gap.
- Liquidity/fees: Different liquidity conditions and fee structures across exchanges also contribute..
