These numbers are not borrowed from other outlets — we read them directly from 21 exchanges.
| Item | Value | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| BTC price | $77,683 (Bitrue 77,683 · Binance 77,706 · Bybit 77,697 · Gate.io 77,706 · Upbit ₩107,696,000) | Under 0.03% between exchanges — no arbitrage gap |
| BTC 24h | -3.27% ($80,309 → $77,683) | A clear decline — a day with direction |
| BTC 24h range | $77,364 ~ $80,571 (hourly closes) | Range 4.1% — wide = a choppy day |
| ETH price | $2,439 (24h -3%) | moving in step with bitcoin |
| Market breadth | 62 up · 189 down (of 251) | Far more coins fell = the market moved down as a whole |
| Above the long-term trendline (EMA200) | 71 coins (43%) | about half = the long-term trend is neutral |
| Kimchi premium (USDT basis) | +0.32% (24h range -0.19% to +0.9%) | Korean and overseas prices are nearly the same |
| Kimchi premium (BTC basis) | +0.35% (Upbit ₩107,696,000 ÷ FX 1,381.57 = $77,952 vs $77,683) | the same bitcoin, priced at home vs overseas |
| USDT/KRW | 1,386 KRW (reference rate 1,381.57 KRW) | Tether trades 0.3% more expensive than the reference rate |
| Futures funding rate (BTC) | 0.01% per 8h (same on Binance·OKX·Bybit) | At the baseline = longs are not crowded |
| Measured $100 fill (Binance BTC/USDT) | $77,706 · 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 losers than gainers, the market was pressed down 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.

Kimchi premium right now
The kimchi premium (the price gap between Korean and overseas exchanges) is +0.32% — 24h average +0.3%, range -0.19% to +0.9%. Korean and overseas prices are nearly the same.
Coins with the widest gaps in our latest scan (one row per coin):
- MANTRA premium — KuCoin $0.00427 · Upbit $0.00492785 — 15.41% apart
- DEXE premium — HTX $2.23 · Bithumb $2.44 — 9.55% apart
- GALA premium — WhiteBIT $0.001771 · Bithumb $0.00187013 — 5.60% 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 0.01% per 8h (about 0.03% a day) — At the baseline = longs are not crowded
- ETH 0.01% per 8h (about 0.03% a day) — At the baseline = longs are not crowded
- ONG a lot of money is betting it falls — holding leverage costs about 2.9% a day (Binance)
- DEXE a lot of money is betting it falls — holding leverage costs about 1.51% a day (Bybit)
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. Market Adjusts Ahead of Fed Chair's Jackson Hole Speech
On August 28, 2026, investors grew highly anxious ahead of the newly appointed Federal Reserve (the central banking system of the US) Chair Kevin Warsh's first keynote speech at the Jackson Hole meeting. Concerns mounted over whether the Fed would support the US Treasury's long-term bond buyback (purchasing government debt) plan, alongside fears of further interest rate hikes.
Bitcoin (BTC) fell to the $77,000 range after testing the $80,000 mark as investors engaged in profit-taking and cautious selling, while major altcoins (cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin) like Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP) also declined.
2. Circle Signs Front-of-Shirt Sponsorship with Chelsea FC
On August 28, 2026, Circle, the issuer of the stablecoin (a cryptocurrency pegged to a stable asset) USDC, signed a front-of-shirt sponsorship agreement with the Premier League club Chelsea FC starting from the 2026/27 season. This marks the first time a cryptocurrency financial services company has become the main shirt sponsor for a Premier League club, placing the USDC logo on the front of Chelsea's men's, women's, and academy team kits.
While macroeconomic market adjustments prevented an immediate price surge, the deal was recognized as a strong positive development that boosts Circle's public trust and signals the entry of stablecoins into mainstream finance.
3. Cosmos EVM Module Vulnerability Leads to Fund Exploits
On August 28, 2026, Cosmos Labs released a post-mortem report announcing that funds were stolen from six blockchains between August 20 and August 25 due to a critical balance-handling flaw in their shared Cosmos EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) module. Although the team identified the bug in April through a bug bounty (a reward program for finding software vulnerabilities), they misjudged it as safe for live networks and proceeded with a public patch process instead of a private one, allowing the exploit to occur.
This incident damaged security trust across the Cosmos ecosystem and negatively impacted investor sentiment by highlighting technical risks in the associated chains.
4. Bitcoin ETFs Maintain Strong Inflows in August
According to reports on August 28, 2026, US spot Bitcoin ETFs (exchange-traded funds) recorded over $3 billion in net inflows during August, marking the strongest monthly inflow of 2026. Amid expanding US Treasury bond buybacks and rising national debt concerns, Bitcoin's correlation with gold surged to +0.81.
This trend indicates that Bitcoin is increasingly behaving as a 'store of value' (an asset that maintains its purchasing power over time) rather than a risky asset.
What to watch today and this week
- 03 Sep (Thu) 21:30 KST — US Weekly Initial Jobless Claims Announcement by the US Department of Labor. This is a crucial leading indicator to gauge the Federal Reserve's future monetary policy direction amid recent concerns over a slowing labor market.
- 04 Sep (Fri) 21:30 KST — US August Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) and Unemployment Rate Announcement by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. Following extremely weak employment data in July, this report will decisively influence views on a potential US economic recession and the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision in September.
Volatility often picks up around these dates. Simply knowing when they land helps you avoid being caught off guard.
