These numbers are not borrowed from other outlets — we read them directly from 21 exchanges.
| Item | Value | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| BTC price | $80,290 (Bitrue 80,290 · Binance 80,324 · MEXC 80,300 · Bybit 80,329 · Upbit ₩110,998,000) | Under 0.05% between exchanges — no arbitrage gap |
| BTC 24h | +1.98% ($78,732 → $80,290) | A mild rise |
| BTC 24h range | $78,690 ~ $80,442 (hourly closes) | Range 2.2% — about average |
| ETH price | $2,514 (24h +0.61%) | not keeping up with bitcoin |
| Market breadth | 147 up · 94 down (of 241) | Far more coins rose = the market moved up as a whole |
| Above the long-term trendline (EMA200) | 78 coins (49%) | about half = the long-term trend is neutral |
| Kimchi premium (USDT basis) | -0.12% (24h range -0.48% to +0.64%) | Korean and overseas prices are nearly the same |
| Kimchi premium (BTC basis) | -0.16% (Upbit ₩110,998,000 ÷ FX 1,384.61 = $80,166 vs $80,290) | the same bitcoin, priced at home vs overseas |
| USDT/KRW | 1,383 KRW (reference rate 1,384.61 KRW) | Tether trades 0.1% cheaper than the reference rate |
| Futures funding rate (BTC) | 0.0027% per 8h (Binance 0.0074% · OKX 0.0028% · Bybit 0.0027%) | At the baseline = longs are not crowded |
| Measured $100 fill (Binance BTC/USDT) | $80,321 · 0% slippage ($100,000 also 0%) | fills at the quoted price — plenty of liquidity |
A funding rate at the 0.01% baseline means longs are not crowding the futures market. And a premium near zero means both sides run at a similar temperature. With far more gainers than losers, the market moved together today.
Biggest gainers and losers (24h)
We count only coins with at least $10M turnover listed on three or more exchanges (this keeps single-venue pumps and scam tokens out). Prices come from the largest venue by turnover; turnover from the largest spot venue.

|---|---|---|---|
| MOVR (Moonriver) | $0.6939 → $0.9984 | +43.88% | $23.5M |

Kimchi premium right now
The kimchi premium (the price gap between Korean and overseas exchanges) is -0.12% — 24h average -0.06%, range -0.48% to +0.64%. Korean and overseas prices are nearly the same.
Coins with the widest gaps in our latest scan (one row per coin):
- GAS premium — HTX $1.30 · Upbit $1.33 — 2.22% apart
- UNI premium — Poloniex $4.60 · Upbit $4.68 — 1.83% apart
- SHIB premium — Bitrue $0.00000542 · Bithumb $0.0000055 — 1.39% apart
Read these gaps after fees, transfer time and FX. They are not an arbitrage call — they are a thermometer for which side of the market runs hotter.
Funding-rate skew (which way futures lean)
The funding rate is a fee that passes periodically between longs and shorts in perpetual futures. Positive means longs pay shorts; the further it drifts from the 0.01% baseline, the more crowded one side is.
- BTC 0.0027% per 8h (about 0.01% a day) — At the baseline = longs are not crowded
- ETH 0.0023% per 8h (about 0.01% a day) — At the baseline = longs are not crowded
- ONG a lot of money is betting it falls — holding leverage costs about 20.56% a day (Bybit)
- BICO a lot of money is betting it falls — holding leverage costs about 3.1% a day (WhiteBIT)
A holding cost this wide is not an income opportunity — it is a signal that one side is badly crowded. On such coins, price swings dwarf the fee.
Yesterday's main stories
1. Charles Schwab Announces Support for Three New Altcoins
On August 27, 2026, Charles Schwab, a major U.S. financial giant managing over $12 trillion in assets with 39 million active accounts, announced the addition of Solana (SOL), Avalanche (AVAX), and Chainlink (LINK) to its crypto platform. The service is scheduled to launch trading for internal brokerage clients within the coming months.
This announcement boosted market expectations for a strong influx of liquidity, helping Bitcoin break above the $79,000 mark and driving up the prices of related altcoins like Solana and Chainlink, which pushed the total cryptocurrency market capitalization past $2.7 trillion.
2. First Quantum-Safe Transaction Successfully Executed on Bitcoin Mainnet
On August 27, 2026, StarkWare announced that it successfully transferred 3.1 BTC on the Bitcoin mainnet using a 'Quantum-Safe Spend (QSB)' method and mined the block without requiring any hard fork or soft fork of the existing protocol.
This technical milestone demonstrated that Bitcoin's long-term security concerns regarding quantum computer threats can be resolved without protocol changes, boosting positive market sentiment as Bitcoin maintained its upward trend and tested the $79,000 to $80,000 resistance level.
3. Nvidia's Earnings Surprise Sparks Tech Stock Rally
On the morning of August 27, 2026, Nvidia reported outstanding quarterly revenue of $96.2 billion, marking a 106% increase year-over-year, and raised its guidance for the upcoming quarter.
The strong earnings report significantly improved investor sentiment across tech stocks and risk assets, serving as a direct catalyst that pushed Bitcoin upward toward the $80,000 level.
4. White House Meeting Fuels Bitcoin's Strong August Rally
Bitcoin has surged approximately 25% in August, marking its best August performance since 2017. This rally was driven by a high-level meeting between White House officials and cryptocurrency executives on August 19, 2026, where President Donald Trump hinted at the potential introduction of a 'Strategic Bitcoin Reserve' by the U.S. government.
The anticipation surrounding a potential U.S. strategic reserve has acted as a major fundamental driver for Bitcoin's upward momentum throughout the month.
