According to BeInCrypto, Bitcoin prices in South Korea frequently exceed those seen elsewhere, creating a consistent regional premium known as the Kimchi Premium. For an extended period, traders exploited this difference to seek profit. Recently, automated trading systems have increased the speed and volume of activity in this area. At the same time, South Korea’s banking regulations continue to determine which participants are permitted to engage in relevant transactions. The Kimchi Premium was historically recognized as a common indicator among Korean investors.
