DOS kimchi premium FAQ
What is the DOS kimchi premium today?
DOS trades at a 0.11% discount on Korean exchanges against Binance right now (Upbit -0.11%, Bithumb -0.11%). The figure refreshes about once a minute from the Upbit and Bithumb public tickers.
How is the DOS kimchi premium calculated?
The DOS KRW price on Upbit or Bithumb is divided by the Korean USDT price in won (₩1,378 on Upbit now) and compared with the DOS price on Binance ($0.1562, USDT perpetual): premium = KRW price ÷ USDT/KRW ÷ Binance price − 1. A venue counts only when it traded at least ₩500.0M of DOS in the last 24 hours.
Can you arbitrage the DOS 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 DOS deposits or withdrawals, and the premium can close before a transfer lands. Nothing here is financial advice.
