DEXE kimchi premium FAQ
What is the DEXE kimchi premium today?
DEXE trades at a 1.34% discount on Korean exchanges against Binance right now (Bithumb -1.34%). The figure refreshes about once a minute from the Upbit and Bithumb public tickers.
How is the DEXE kimchi premium calculated?
The DEXE KRW price on Upbit or Bithumb is divided by the Korean USDT price in won (₩1,361.4 on Upbit now) and compared with the DEXE price on Binance ($1.253, spot): premium = KRW price ÷ USDT/KRW ÷ Binance price − 1. A venue counts only when it traded at least ₩500.0M of DEXE in the last 24 hours.
Can you arbitrage the DEXE 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 DEXE deposits or withdrawals, and the premium can close before a transfer lands. Nothing here is financial advice.
