TAIKO kimchi premium FAQ

What is the TAIKO kimchi premium today?

TAIKO trades at a 0.10% discount 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 TAIKO kimchi premium calculated?

The TAIKO KRW price on Upbit or Bithumb is divided by the Korean USDT price in won (₩1,357 on Upbit now) and compared with the TAIKO price on Binance ($0.08999, USDT perpetual): premium = KRW price ÷ USDT/KRW ÷ Binance price − 1. A venue counts only when it traded at least ₩500.0M of TAIKO in the last 24 hours.

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