QTUM kimchi premium: Upbit & Bithumb vs Binance

How much more (or less) QTUM 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, QTUM last traded at ₩1,354, which is $1.000 at Upbit's ₩1,354 per USDT, against $0.9990 on Binance: a 0.10% premium. In other words, ₩1,000,000 spent on QTUM on Upbit buys about ₩999,000 worth at Binance prices, so Korean buyers are paying up for it. That is below Upbit's volume-weighted premium of +0.26% across 185 coins, so QTUM is cheaper in Korea than the typical coin. QTUM ranks #195 of 210 by Korean 24h trading value (₩586.4M).

QTUM kimchi premium FAQ

What is the QTUM kimchi premium today?

QTUM trades at a 0.10% premium on Korean exchanges against Binance right now (Upbit +0.10%). The figure refreshes about once a minute from the Upbit and Bithumb public tickers.

How is the QTUM kimchi premium calculated?

The QTUM KRW price on Upbit or Bithumb is divided by the Korean USDT price in won (₩1,354 on Upbit now) and compared with the QTUM price on Binance ($0.9990, spot): premium = KRW price ÷ USDT/KRW ÷ Binance price − 1. A venue counts only when it traded at least ₩500.0M of QTUM in the last 24 hours.

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