XAN kimchi premium FAQ
What is the XAN kimchi premium today?
XAN trades at a 0.62% premium on Korean exchanges against Binance right now (Bithumb +0.62%). The figure refreshes about once a minute from the Upbit and Bithumb public tickers.
How is the XAN kimchi premium calculated?
The XAN KRW price on Upbit or Bithumb is divided by the Korean USDT price in won (₩1,340 on Upbit now) and compared with the XAN price on Binance ($0.01139, USDT perpetual): premium = KRW price ÷ USDT/KRW ÷ Binance price − 1. A venue counts only when it traded at least ₩500.0M of XAN in the last 24 hours.
Can you arbitrage the XAN 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 XAN deposits or withdrawals, and the premium can close before a transfer lands. Nothing here is financial advice.
