MANA kimchi premium FAQ
What is the MANA kimchi premium today?

How is the MANA kimchi premium calculated?
The MANA KRW price on Upbit or Bithumb is divided by the Korean USDT price in won (₩1,363 on Upbit now) and compared with the MANA price on Binance ($0.09770, spot): premium = KRW price ÷ USDT/KRW ÷ Binance price − 1. A venue counts only when it traded at least ₩500.0M of MANA in the last 24 hours.
Can you arbitrage the MANA 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 MANA deposits or withdrawals, and the premium can close before a transfer lands. Nothing here is financial advice.
