MOVE kimchi premium: Upbit & Bithumb vs Binance

How much more (or less) MOVE costs on the Korean exchanges Upbit and Bithumb than on Binance: the KRW price converted to USDT at the Korean USDT/KRW price, against the Binance spot price. From the same snapshot as the kimchi premium table.

On Upbit, MOVE last traded at ₩12.300, which is $0.009104 at Upbit's ₩1,351 per USDT, against $0.009113 on Binance: a 0.09% discount. In other words, ₩1,000,000 spent on MOVE on Upbit buys about ₩1,000,900 worth at Binance prices, so it is cheaper to buy in Korea than abroad right now. That is below Upbit's volume-weighted premium of +0.30% across 186 coins, so MOVE is cheaper in Korea than the typical coin. MOVE ranks #112 of 211 by Korean 24h trading value (₩1.4B).

USD equivalent = KRW price ÷ ₩1,351, Upbit's own KRW-USDT price, so the premium is vs USDT, not vs the bank dollar rate. Binance price: the spot MOVE/USDT market. MOVE is #112 of 211 coins by combined Upbit + Bithumb 24h volume (₩1.4B).

MOVE kimchi premium FAQ

What is the MOVE kimchi premium today?

MOVE trades at a 0.09% discount on Korean exchanges against Binance right now (Upbit -0.09%). The figure refreshes about once a minute from the Upbit and Bithumb public tickers.

How is the MOVE kimchi premium calculated?

The MOVE KRW price on Upbit or Bithumb is divided by the Korean USDT price in won (₩1,351 on Upbit now) and compared with the MOVE price on Binance ($0.009113, spot): premium = KRW price ÷ USDT/KRW ÷ Binance price − 1. A venue counts only when it traded at least ₩500.0M of MOVE in the last 24 hours.

Can you arbitrage the MOVE 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 MOVE deposits or withdrawals, and the premium can close before a transfer lands. Nothing here is financial advice.
