Crypto market today — BTC $81,219 (+5.27%) · premium +0.21% · 197 up vs 60 down · 4 Sep

The past 24 hours (measured by AntProfit · as of 08:30 on 4 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 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.

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

• ZKP $0.0460 (-1.5%) — spot turnover $22.1M, 9.1x a week ago
• HNT $0.6633 (+35.48%) — spot turnover $3.9M, 9.1x a week ago
• 0G $0.1908 (+3.98%) — spot turnover $4.8M, 6.6x 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 +0.21% — 24h average +0.68%, range +0.14% to +1.09%. Korean and overseas prices are nearly the same.

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

• DEXE premium — HTX $1.85 · Bithumb $1.98 — 6.67% apart
• HNT premium — Bitget $0.6515 · Bithumb $0.6657 — 2.18% apart
• WLD premium — Poloniex $0.3900 · Upbit $0.3959 — 1.51% 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 0.0074% per 8h (about 0.02% 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 13.09% a day (Bybit)
• T a lot of money is betting it falls — holding leverage costs about 4.35% 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. Easing US-Iran Tensions and Short Squeeze Push Bitcoin Past $80,000

On September 3, 2026, geopolitical concerns eased significantly as hostilities between the US and Iran came to a temporary pause. This followed a weekend of US targeted airstrikes that had previously pushed Brent crude oil past $96 per barrel and triggered risk-off sentiment.

The sudden relief triggered a massive short squeeze (a situation where falling-price bettors are forced to buy back assets) in the futures market, liquidating $164 million in Bitcoin short positions in just four hours and driving Bitcoin from under $78,000 to over $81,000.

2. Fed Governor Christopher Waller Signals Support for Rate Pause

On September 3, 2026, Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller indicated that he could support keeping the benchmark interest rate unchanged if the trend of disinflation (a slowing pace of inflation) continues.

This dovish stance from a key central bank official reduced market worries over further interest rate hikes, providing strong upward momentum that helped Bitcoin reclaim the $81,000 level.

3. BlackRock's IBIT Sees Massive Trading Volume and Inflows

On September 3, 2026, reports showed BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) recorded a massive daily trading volume of $3.57 billion, ranking as the sixth most actively traded ETF on Wall Street. Additionally, US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net inflow of approximately $216.7 million on September 2, reversing the previous day's outflows.

This strong institutional buying and liquidity boosted market confidence, fueling a powerful rally that tested the $82,000 level, a four-month high.

What to watch today and this week

1. 4 Sep (Fri) 21:30 KST — Release of the US August Employment Report. This key macroeconomic data on non-farm payrolls and unemployment will directly influence the Federal Reserve's September interest rate decision, potentially causing high market volatility.
2. 6 Sep (Sun) KST — Hyperliquid (HYPE) Large-Scale Token Unlock. Approximately 9.92 million HYPE tokens allocated to core contributors will be unlocked, though historical data suggests only a tiny fraction of about 1.75% may actually enter the market immediately.
3. 7 Sep (Mon) KST — Delisting of BONK Token on Upbit. South Korea's largest cryptocurrency exchange, Upbit, will officially end transaction support for the meme coin BONK.
4. 9 Sep (Wed) KST — First Halving of Flowback (FB). The Flowback network will undergo its first block reward halving, which is expected to introduce market volatility due to the change in supply.
5. 10 Sep (Thu) KST — MultiversX (EGLD) Supernova Mainnet Upgrade. The MultiversX network will undergo a major mainnet upgrade named 'Supernova' to improve its blockchain infrastructure.

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