| Item | Value | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| BTC price | $76,485 (Bitrue 76,485 · Binance 76,490 · MEXC 76,494 · Bybit 76,488 · Upbit ₩105,529,000) | Under 0.02% between exchanges — no arbitrage gap |
| BTC 24h | +0.46% ($76,135 → $76,485) | Within 1% for the day — catching its breath |
| BTC 24h range | $76,206 ~ $76,780 (hourly closes) | Range 0.8% — narrow = a quiet day |
| ETH price | $2,450 (24h +1.49%) | stronger than bitcoin |
| Market breadth | 213 up · 40 down (of 253) | Far more coins rose = the market moved up as a whole |
| Above the long-term trendline (EMA200) | 77 coins (47%) | about half = the long-term trend is neutral |
| Kimchi premium (USDT basis) | +0.67% (24h range +0.38% to +1.22%) | Korea is slightly more expensive = normal domestic demand |
| Kimchi premium (BTC basis) | +0.72% (Upbit ₩105,529,000 ÷ FX 1,369.81 = $77,039 vs $76,485) | the same bitcoin, priced at home vs overseas |
| USDT/KRW | 1,379 KRW (reference rate 1,369.81 KRW) | Tether trades 0.7% more expensive than the reference rate |
| Futures funding rate (BTC) | 0.0083% per 8h (Binance 0.0084% · OKX 0.0079% · Gate.io 0.0021%) | At the baseline = longs are not crowded |
| Measured $100 fill (Binance BTC/USDT) | $76,490 · 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 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.

| ONE (Harmony) | $0.0008051 → $0.0020981 | +160.6% | $37.7M |

| COTI | $0.0170 → $0.0250 | +46.48% | $17.2M |
| CNPY | $0.3894 → $0.5578 | +43.25% | $2.9M |

Kimchi premium right now
The kimchi premium (the price gap between Korean and overseas exchanges) is +0.67% — 24h average +0.68%, range +0.38% to +1.22%. Korea is slightly more expensive = normal domestic demand.
Coins with the widest gaps in our latest scan (one row per coin):
- SKYAI premium — Gate.io $0.0510 · Coinone $0.0525 — 2.88% apart
- FIL premium — Poloniex $0.8210 · Upbit $0.8412 — 2.46% apart
- INJ premium — HTX $5.68 · Upbit $5.79 — 1.92% 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 0.0083% per 8h (about 0.03% a day) — At the baseline = longs are not crowded
- ETH 0.006% per 8h (about 0.02% a day) — At the baseline = longs are not crowded
- LSK a lot of money is betting it falls — holding leverage costs about 11.96% a day (Bybit)
- RAY a lot of money is betting it rises — holding leverage costs about 9% a day (CoinEx)
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 Federal Reserve Raises Interest Rates for the First Time in 3 Years
On September 15-16, 2026 (local time), the US Federal Reserve (Fed) raised its benchmark interest rate by 25bps, adjusting the target range to 3.75%-4.00%. According to the Fed's Dot Plot (a chart showing policymakers' future interest rate projections), most officials maintained a hawkish (favoring higher interest rates to control inflation) stance, leaving the door open for additional rate hikes this year.
Bitcoin (BTC) temporarily dropped to around $75,000 just before the announcement, but quickly rebounded to recover the $76,000 level as the rate hike had already been priced in by the market, while Ethereum (ETH) also recovered above the $2,400 level.
2. US Senate Rejects 'Clarity Act' Crypto Regulatory Framework Bill
On Tuesday, September 15, 2026 (local time), the US Senate rejected the 'Clarity Act,' a bill aimed at providing a clear regulatory framework for the $2 trillion cryptocurrency market, with a vote of 49 in favor and 50 against. Continued opposition from Democratic senators and four breakaway votes from Republican senators were decisive in blocking the bill.
The rejection of the bill added regulatory uncertainty to the overall cryptocurrency market and triggered risk-off (investors avoiding risky assets) sentiment, putting downward price pressure on Ripple (XRP) and crypto-related stocks like Coinbase and Robinhood.
3. Zcash Surges Following Overwhelming Approval of NU7 Governance Vote
In the NU7 governance vote for the privacy coin Zcash (ZEC), 99.9% of participants voted in favor of a proposal to shorten the block generation time from 75 seconds to 25 seconds. Additionally, a proposal to maintain the existing Bitcoin-style halving (a process that cuts the reward for mining new blocks in half) schedule passed with 98.9% approval.
Following this news, Zcash (ZEC) surged approximately 18% over 24 hours to reach $1,353.79, drawing market attention and entering the top 10 by market capitalization.
