Crypto market today — BTC $77,277 (-1.62%) · premium +1.2% · 75 up vs 172 down · 2 Sep

The past 24 hours (measured by AntProfit · as of 08:30 on 2 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. 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.

Biggest losers

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

• ZKP $0.0435 (-4.81%) — spot turnover $4M, 6.4x a week ago
• 0G $0.1963 (-14.24%) — spot turnover $16.2M, 5.4x a week ago
• FLOCK $0.0346 (-16.07%) — spot turnover $2.1M, 3.9x 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 +1.2% — 24h average +0.92%, range +0.03% to +1.35%. Korea is slightly more expensive = normal domestic demand.

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

• GALA premium — Binance $0.001754 · Bithumb $0.00207653 — 18.39% apart
• JASMY premium — Binance $0.00492 · Bithumb $0.0051213 — 4.09% apart
• DEXE premium — HTX $1.86 · Bithumb $1.93 — 3.59% 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 0.0082% 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
• ACE a lot of money is betting it falls — holding leverage costs about 5.43% a day (WhiteBIT)
• SKR a lot of money is betting it falls — holding leverage costs about 3.12% a day (Gate.io)

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. US July JOLTs Job Openings Fall Below Expectations, Signaling Labor Market Cooling

On September 1, 2026, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released the July Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTs), showing job openings at 7.271 million, which fell below the market expectation of 7.33 million. Additionally, the number of voluntary quits decreased sharply by approximately 5.4% to 3.056 million.

This signal of a cooling labor market eased concerns over Federal Reserve tightening, but simultaneous worries about an economic slowdown and geopolitical tensions kept Bitcoin consolidating and experiencing minor corrections in the $77,000 to $78,000 range.

2. Sberbank to Launch Crypto-Collateralized Lending Following New Russian Regulation

Following the implementation of Russia's new cryptocurrency regulation law on September 1, 2026, Sberbank, the country's largest state-owned bank, announced plans to launch lending products collateralized by Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Tether (USDT).

While the news acted as a positive factor for long-term institutional inflows with projections of regulated crypto trading volume in Russia reaching up to $46.4 billion in the first year, it served to strengthen market downside support rather than triggering an immediate price spike.

3. Ripple Unlocks 1 Billion XRP from Monthly Escrow

On September 1, 2026, Ripple unlocked 1 billion XRP from its regular escrow system (a smart contract that locks up funds until certain conditions are met).

Although the XRP price dipped slightly by about 1% to 2% just before the unlock due to supply concerns, the actual selling pressure on the market was limited because Ripple historically re-escrows 700 million to 900 million XRP of the unlocked amount.

4. Bitcoin Core Developer Luke Dashjr's Hard Fork Concludes with Minimal Impact

On September 1, 2026, a Bitcoin hard fork (a radical upgrade that splits a blockchain into two) transitioning to the BLAKE2b algorithm was executed by Bitcoin Core developer and former OCEAN mining pool CTO Luke Dashjr.

The chain practically ground to a halt due to an extremely low miner support rate of approximately 2.53%, resulting in no real impact or price volatility for general Bitcoin holders.

What to watch today and this week

1. 2 Sep (Wed) 21:15 KST — Release of the US ADP Non-Farm Employment Change. This private employment indicator serves as a preliminary preview of the official government employment report scheduled for Friday.
2. 4 Sep (Fri) 21:30 KST — Release of the US August Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) and Unemployment Rate. This is the most critical macroeconomic indicator that will directly influence the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision in September.
3. 6 Sep (Sun) 09:00 KST — Large-scale token unlock of Hyperliquid (HYPE). Approximately 9.92 million HYPE, worth about $797 million, will be unlocked for core contributors, though the actual selling pressure may be lower than the figure suggests due to historically low claim rates.

Volatility often picks up around these dates. Simply knowing when they land helps you avoid being caught off guard.
