Crypto market today — BTC $78,554 (+0.22%) · premium +0.18% · 137 up vs 115 down · 1 Sep

The past 24 hours (measured by AntProfit · as of 08:30 on 1 Sep KST)

These numbers are not borrowed from other outlets — we read them directly from 21 exchanges.

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. Gainers and losers were balanced, so it came down to the individual coin.

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.

Biggest losers

Where the money went (turnover far above a week ago)

• ZKP $0.0457 (-13.49%) — spot turnover $5.3M, 6.4x a week ago
• ANIME $0.002872 (+4.21%) — spot turnover $5.1M, 5.6x a week ago
• AUCTION $3.43 (-10.17%) — spot turnover $4M, 5.2x a week ago

If turnover jumps while the price does not, someone large may be accumulating or exiting — check the order book on the coin page.

Kimchi premium right now

The kimchi premium (the price gap between Korean and overseas exchanges) is +0.18% — 24h average +0.36%, range -0.04% to +1.1%. Korean and overseas prices are nearly the same.

Coins with the widest gaps in our latest scan (one row per coin):

• ONG premium — MEXC $0.0882 · Upbit $0.0928 — 5.20% apart
• ANIME premium — DigiFinex $0.00278 · Upbit $0.0028934 — 4.08% apart
• NEAR premium — Poloniex $1.89 · Upbit $1.93 — 1.75% 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 0.0052% per 8h (about 0.02% a day) — At the baseline = longs are not crowded
• ETH 0.0055% per 8h (about 0.02% a day) — At the baseline = longs are not crowded
• ONG a lot of money is betting it falls — holding leverage costs about 16.32% a day (BingX)
• SKR a lot of money is betting it falls — holding leverage costs about 11.92% a day (BingX)

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. MicroStrategy Resumes Bitcoin Purchases with $369.7 Million Acquisition

On August 31, 2026, MicroStrategy announced through a public disclosure that it purchased 4,603 Bitcoins for approximately $369.7 million between August 24 and August 30. The company acquired the coins at an average price of $80,318 per BTC, marking its first purchase in about 10 weeks since June 22 and bringing its total holdings to 845,050 BTC.

This purchase acted as a positive support level that helped Bitcoin maintain a stable trend and firmly hold the $78,000 mark despite macroeconomic pressures, such as hawkish remarks from the Jackson Hole meeting.

2. Russia Launches Regulated Crypto Market Framework as Sberbank Plans Collateralized Loans

On September 1, 2026, Russia officially launches its legally regulated cryptocurrency market framework. In alignment with this, Anatoly Popov, Deputy Chairman of Sberbank (Russia's largest bank), announced plans to accept Ethereum (ETH) and Tether (USDT) alongside Bitcoin (BTC) as loan collateral, which will be implemented in phases following official transaction approval from the Central Bank of Russia.

The news of a major market like Russia integrating into the institutional system brought expectations of long-term liquidity supply to the overall market, helping defend the prices of Bitcoin and Ethereum amid global regulatory risks.

3. Controversy Surrounds Bitcoin BLAKE2b Hard Fork (BIP-110) Ahead of Test Launch

On August 31, 2026, developers supporting Luke Dashjr conducted final testing for a new BLAKE2b Proof-of-Work (PoW) chain based on BIP-110 ahead of its September 1 launch. The preparation was marked by a heated debate on August 31 between the developers and Ripple co-founder David Schwartz regarding the legitimacy of the fork.

While it did not significantly shake overall market prices due to a lack of official support from major exchanges or wallet services, it caused short-term confusion and prompted scam warnings among investors.
