The past 24 hours (measured by AntProfit · as of 08:30 on 5 Sep KST)
These numbers are not borrowed from other outlets — we read them directly from 21 exchanges.
| Item | Value | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| BTC price | $79,664 (Bitrue 79,664 · Binance 79,650 · Gate.io 79,653 · Bybit 79,658 · Upbit ₩109,182,000) | Under 0.03% between exchanges — no arbitrage gap |
| BTC 24h | -1.88% ($81,190 → $79,664) | A mild decline |
| BTC 24h range | $78,916 ~ $81,270 (hourly closes) | Range 3.0% — about average |
| ETH price | $2,452 (24h -1.84%) | moving in step with bitcoin |
| Market breadth | 108 up · 148 down (of 256) | Gainers and losers are balanced = mixed |
| Above the long-term trendline (EMA200) | 72 coins (43%) | about half = the long-term trend is neutral |
| Kimchi premium (USDT basis) | +1.05% (24h range +0.21% to +1.13%) | Korea is slightly more expensive = normal domestic demand |
| Kimchi premium (BTC basis) | +1.02% (Upbit ₩109,182,000 ÷ FX 1,356.73 = $80,474 vs $79,664) | the same bitcoin, priced at home vs overseas |
| USDT/KRW | 1,371 KRW (reference rate 1,356.73 KRW) | Tether trades 1.1% more expensive than the reference rate |
| Futures funding rate (BTC) | -0.0009% per 8h (Binance 0.002% · OKX -0.0009% · Bybit -0.0025%) | Shorts dominate — more money is betting on a fall |
| Measured $100 fill (Binance BTC/USDT) | $79,658 · 0% slippage ($100,000 also 0.006%) | fills at the quoted price — plenty of liquidity |
A negative funding rate means more money is betting on a fall in 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.

|---|---|---|---|
| MARSCOIN | $0.1119 → $0.2011 | +79.75% | $49.2M |

Kimchi premium right now
The kimchi premium (the price gap between Korean and overseas exchanges) is +1.05% — 24h average +0.77%, range +0.21% to +1.13%. Korea is slightly more expensive = normal domestic demand.
Coins with the widest gaps in our latest scan (one row per coin):
- APT premium — Poloniex $0.5670 · Upbit $0.5755 — 1.50% apart
- SIGN premium — WhiteBIT $0.00966 · Upbit $0.00977389 — 1.18% apart
- UNI premium — Poloniex $6.09 · Bithumb $6.16 — 1.14% 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 -0.0009% per 8h (about 0.00% a day) — Shorts dominate — more money is betting on a fall
- ETH 0.0052% per 8h (about 0.02% a day) — At the baseline = longs are not crowded
- MARSCOIN a lot of money is betting it rises — holding leverage costs about 5.26% a day (Bitget)
- CAP a lot of money is betting it falls — holding leverage costs about 3.77% 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. U.S. Job Growth Beats Expectations, Dampening Rate Cut Hopes
On September 4, 2026, the U.S. Department of Labor released the August Nonfarm Payrolls report, showing an increase of 162,000 jobs, which significantly exceeded the market expectation of 55,000. The unemployment rate remained stable at 4.1%. This strong labor market data reduced expectations for aggressive interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve.
Bitcoin (BTC), which had surpassed $82,000 prior to the announcement due to dovish comments from Fed Governor Christopher Waller and a $730.8 million inflow into spot ETFs, fell below $79,000 after the release, triggering approximately $295 million in long (buy) position liquidations.
2. SEC Approves Digital Commodity Designation for Nasdaq Texas
On September 4, 2026, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Order No. 34-106268, allowing Nasdaq Texas to designate Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and Ripple (XRP) as digital commodities. This approval opens up a net asset value (NAV, the total value of an entity's assets minus its liabilities) allowance limit of up to 15% for actively managed crypto ETFs.
This regulatory decision has increased expectations for major altcoins (cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin) like Solana and XRP to be integrated into mainstream institutional finance.
3. Ripple Co-Founder Chris Larsen Donates $500,000 to PAC
Financial disclosures on September 4, 2026, revealed that Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen donated $500,000, a record-breaking amount, to a newly established Political Action Committee (PAC, an organization that pools campaign contributions for candidates). The donation supports Theo Ellington, a moderate Democratic candidate running for the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.
This move demonstrates that major figures in the cryptocurrency industry are continuing to actively fund pro-crypto and moderate politicians.
What to watch today and this week
- 06 Sep (Sun) KST — Large-scale token unlock for Hyperliquid (HYPE). Approximately 9.92 million HYPE tokens (worth about $797 million) will be unlocked for core contributors, though past cases suggest the actual claim rate may be very low.
- 07 Sep (Mon) 15:00 KST — Delisting of Bonk (BONK) from Upbit. Upbit, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in South Korea, will end trading support for BONK/KRW and BONK/USDT markets due to insufficient security and critical information disclosure, while withdrawal support will remain until October 7.
- 09 Sep (Wed) KST — First halving of Fractal Bitcoin (FB). The block reward will be reduced from 25 FB to 12.5 FB, and approximately 4.1 million FB tokens are scheduled to be permanently burned (destroyed to reduce supply).
- 10 Sep (Thu) KST — MultiversX (EGLD) Supernova mainnet upgrade. The MultiversX network is scheduled to undergo a major upgrade to its mainnet (an independent blockchain network running its own technology and protocol).
- 11 Sep (Fri) 21:30 KST — Release of the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) for August. This key macroeconomic indicator will be announced and is expected to have a decisive impact on 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.
