Reading Today's Numbers
As of today, the widest positive gap for BTC is in India at +3.17% above Binance, while Brazil trades at the deepest discount (-0.53%). The total spread across tracked markets is 3.70 percentage points — a meaningful window for cross-market watchers.
BTC's Korean premium was -0.05% a week ago and is +0.91% now (+0.96pp week-over-week).
Premiums move with local demand, currency swings, and capital-flow friction. A positive premium means local buyers are paying up versus the global reference price; a discount usually signals softer local demand or an FX effect. None of this is financial advice — actually capturing a gap requires fees, transfer time, and withdrawal limits to cooperate.
BTC's Korean premium was -0.05% a week ago and is +0.91% now (+0.96pp week-over-week).

Cross-coin divergence matters: when one coin's Korean premium runs far ahead of BTC's, it usually reflects coin-specific retail flow on Upbit rather than a broad market move. Persistent divergence is also the first thing arbitrage desks screen for.
