AAVE kimchi premium FAQ

What is the AAVE kimchi premium today?

AAVE trades at a 0.55% discount on Korean exchanges against Binance right now (Upbit -0.11%, Bithumb -1.00%). The figure refreshes about once a minute from the Upbit and Bithumb public tickers.

How is the AAVE kimchi premium calculated?

The AAVE KRW price on Upbit or Bithumb is divided by the Korean USDT price in won (₩1,358 on Upbit now) and compared with the AAVE price on Binance ($165.27, spot): premium = KRW price ÷ USDT/KRW ÷ Binance price − 1. A venue counts only when it traded at least ₩500.0M of AAVE in the last 24 hours.

Can you arbitrage the AAVE kimchi premium?

Not easily. Korean exchanges take won only from verified local bank accounts and South Korea limits moving won abroad, which is why the gap can last. Transfers take time, an exchange can suspend AAVE deposits or withdrawals, and the premium can close before a transfer lands. Nothing here is financial advice.
