NIL kimchi premium FAQ
What is the NIL kimchi premium today?
NIL trades at a 0.40% premium on Korean exchanges against Binance right now (Upbit +0.40%, Bithumb +0.40%). The figure refreshes about once a minute from the Upbit and Bithumb public tickers.
How is the NIL kimchi premium calculated?
The NIL KRW price on Upbit or Bithumb is divided by the Korean USDT price in won (₩1,334.3 on Upbit now) and compared with the NIL price on Binance ($0.09928, spot): premium = KRW price ÷ USDT/KRW ÷ Binance price − 1. A venue counts only when it traded at least ₩500.0M of NIL in the last 24 hours.
Can you arbitrage the NIL 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 NIL deposits or withdrawals, and the premium can close before a transfer lands. Nothing here is financial advice.
