VET kimchi premium: Upbit & Bithumb vs Binance

How much more (or less) VET 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, VET last traded at ₩12.200, which is $0.008997 at Upbit's ₩1,356 per USDT, against $0.008995 on Binance: a 0.02% premium. In other words, ₩1,000,000 spent on VET on Upbit buys about ₩999,800 worth at Binance prices, so Korean buyers are paying up for it. That is below Upbit's volume-weighted premium of +0.40% across 185 coins, so VET is cheaper in Korea than the typical coin. VET ranks #147 of 209 by Korean 24h trading value (₩1.0B).

VET kimchi premium FAQ

What is the VET kimchi premium today?

VET trades at a 0.02% premium on Korean exchanges against Binance right now (Upbit +0.02%). The figure refreshes about once a minute from the Upbit and Bithumb public tickers.

How is the VET kimchi premium calculated?

The VET KRW price on Upbit or Bithumb is divided by the Korean USDT price in won (₩1,356 on Upbit now) and compared with the VET price on Binance ($0.008995, spot): premium = KRW price ÷ USDT/KRW ÷ Binance price − 1. A venue counts only when it traded at least ₩500.0M of VET in the last 24 hours.

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