Reading Today's Numbers
As of today, the widest positive gap for XRP is in India at +6.14% above Binance, while USA trades at the deepest discount (-0.03%). The total spread across tracked markets is 6.17 percentage points — a meaningful window for cross-market watchers.
XRP's Korean premium was +0.82% a week ago and is +1.37% now (+0.55pp 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.

Kimchi Premium Across Coins Today
How XRP compares with the rest of the board right now:
| Coin | Binance (USD) | Korea Premium | Widest Gap |
|---|---|---|---|

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.
