SAHARA kimchi premium FAQ

What is the SAHARA kimchi premium today?

SAHARA trades at a 0.01% discount on Korean exchanges against Binance right now (Upbit +0.03%, Bithumb -0.05%). The figure refreshes about once a minute from the Upbit and Bithumb public tickers.

How is the SAHARA kimchi premium calculated?

The SAHARA KRW price on Upbit or Bithumb is divided by the Korean USDT price in won (₩1,355 on Upbit now) and compared with the SAHARA price on Binance ($0.009370, spot): premium = KRW price ÷ USDT/KRW ÷ Binance price − 1. A venue counts only when it traded at least ₩500.0M of SAHARA in the last 24 hours.

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