Crypto market today — BTC $84,074 (-0.35%) · premium -1.29% · 221 up vs 66 down · 26 Sep

The past 24 hours (measured by AntProfit · as of 08:30 on 26 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 negative kimchi premium means Korean investors are not chasing the move. 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.

Biggest gainers

Biggest losers

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

• ZAMA $0.0899 (+1.63%) — spot turnover $11.5M, 10.6x a week ago
• XAI $0.009266 (-7.11%) — spot turnover $6M, 9.9x a week ago
• NOM $0.002173 (+1.73%) — spot turnover $4.4M, 9.2x 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 -1.29% — 24h average -0.79%, range -1.36% to +0.02%. Korea is cheaper = domestic buying is not following the move.

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

• MANTRA premium — Binance $0.00476 · Upbit $0.00547002 — 14.92% apart
• SNX premium — HTX $0.2616 · Bithumb $0.2887 — 10.35% apart
• FLOCK premium — Bitrue $0.0705 · Upbit $0.0725 — 2.88% 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 0.0018% per 8h (about 0.01% a day) — At the baseline = longs are not crowded
• ETH 0.0079% per 8h (about 0.02% a day) — At the baseline = longs are not crowded
• ONE a lot of money is betting it falls — holding leverage costs about 8.27% a day (KuCoin)
• FET a lot of money is betting it falls — holding leverage costs about 4.5% 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. Global Exchange Bitget Suffers $387.5 Million Hack

On September 24, 2026, at approximately 18:31 UTC, an unauthorized fund outflow was detected from the hot wallet (an online cryptocurrency wallet) system of the global exchange Bitget. Following an investigation on September 25, 2026, Bitget revised its initial damage estimate to a final total of $387.5 million (approximately 510 billion KRW) across networks including TRON and Zcash. The attacker reportedly spoofed transfer data by hacking the backend system rather than stealing private keys directly, with a North Korea-linked hacking group suspected as the culprit.

Although the incident raised security concerns as the largest crypto hack of the year, Bitget's immediate announcement to fully cover the losses using its $464 million User Protection Fund prevented a sharp sell-off, keeping major assets like Bitcoin trading sideways.

2. Rising US Treasury Yields Put Pressure on Bitcoin Price

During the European and US trading hours on September 25, 2026, US Treasury yields (the interest rates paid by the government on its debt) surged. This increase triggered market concerns that the Federal Reserve might implement additional interest rate hikes or maintain high interest rates for a longer period, which dampened investor appetite for risky assets.

Bitcoin (BTC) faced downward pressure and consolidated in the low $84,000 range, down slightly from its weekly high of $87,315, as high-interest environments typically reduce the appeal of non-yielding assets like cryptocurrencies.

3. US Spot Bitcoin ETFs Record $190.7 Million Net Inflow

On September 24, 2026, US spot Bitcoin ETFs (exchange-traded funds that track the price of Bitcoin) recorded a net inflow of $190.7 million. The inflows were led by BlackRock's IBIT, which absorbed $162.6 million, demonstrating resilient institutional demand.

This strong institutional buying helped Bitcoin defend its $84,000 support level despite the negative news of the Bitget hack and macroeconomic interest rate concerns.

What to watch today and this week

1. 28 Sep (Mon) 23:44 KST — Ethereum Sepolia testnet 'Glamsterdam' upgrade fork. This upgrade is a major milestone for the Ethereum development ecosystem as it integrates EIP-7732 for proposer-builder separation (a mechanism to improve block production) and EIP-7928 to enhance block-level access.
2. 29 Sep (Tue) KST — Binance funding account asset migration. Users must prepare for the transition as Binance will stop on-chain deposits to funding accounts and automatically move existing assets to spot accounts (accounts used for immediate trading) to simplify its account structure.
