TIA kimchi premium FAQ
What is the TIA kimchi premium today?
TIA trades at a 0.26% discount on Korean exchanges against Binance right now (Upbit -0.26%). The figure refreshes about once a minute from the Upbit and Bithumb public tickers.
How is the TIA kimchi premium calculated?
The TIA KRW price on Upbit or Bithumb is divided by the Korean USDT price in won (₩1,361.4 on Upbit now) and compared with the TIA price on Binance ($0.4080, spot): premium = KRW price ÷ USDT/KRW ÷ Binance price − 1. A venue counts only when it traded at least ₩500.0M of TIA in the last 24 hours.
Can you arbitrage the TIA 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 TIA deposits or withdrawals, and the premium can close before a transfer lands. Nothing here is financial advice.
