Crypto market today — BTC $83,748 (+0.01%) · premium +0.47% · 143 up vs 127 down · 1 Oct

The past 24 hours (measured by AntProfit · as of 08:30 on 1 Oct 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. 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.

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

• NOM $0.002323 (+8.81%) — spot turnover $10.9M, 10.8x a week ago
• RUNE $0.7983 (+6.03%) — spot turnover $8.1M, 6.5x a week ago
• LYN $0.0251 (-30.54%) — spot turnover $1.3M, 5.8x 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 +0.47% — 24h average +0.2%, range -0.15% to +0.61%. Korean and overseas prices are nearly the same.

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

• ARK premium — WhiteBIT $0.2386 · Bithumb $0.2779 — 16.49% apart
• HBAR premium — Phemex $0.1054 · Upbit $0.1088 — 3.28% apart
• SAND premium — Poloniex $0.0429 · Upbit $0.0440 — 2.50% 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 0.0081% per 8h (about 0.02% a day) — At the baseline = longs are not crowded
• ETH 0.0051% per 8h (about 0.02% a day) — At the baseline = longs are not crowded
• ARK a lot of money is betting it falls — holding leverage costs about 10.82% a day (Binance)
• 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. Bitcoin Under Pressure Amid Rising US Treasury Yields and Geopolitical Tensions

On September 30, 2026, the US 10-year Treasury yield surpassed 5.29%, reaching its highest level since 2007, according to Dow Jones and Morningstar. This surge, combined with escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, put significant pressure on risk assets, including cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin (BTC) retreated from its eight-month high of $87,315 recorded last week and moved sideways with a weak tone, fluctuating within the $83,000 to $84,000 range.

2. Bitcoin Futures Open Interest and Leverage Drop Significantly

According to a report released by Bitfinex analysts on September 30, 2026, aggressive leverage (borrowed funds used to increase trading positions) bets and borrowed funds were heavily liquidated in the Bitcoin market. Currently, futures open interest (OI, the total number of outstanding derivative contracts) has fallen to its lowest level since March, and implied volatility (IV, the market's expectation of future price fluctuations) is near a one-year low.

While the clearing of excessive leverage improved the overall market health, the lack of strong buying momentum to drive further short-term gains caused the BTC price to pause and hold around the $83,000 level.

3. Inflows into Spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs Slow Down

According to a KuCoin Daily Market Report on September 30, 2026, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net inflows for eight consecutive business days, and spot Ethereum ETFs recorded net inflows for seven consecutive business days, but the scale of these inflows slowed down sharply. As of September 28, net inflows for Bitcoin ETFs dropped to approximately $31.07 million (down from about $135 million in the previous session), while Ethereum ETF net inflows fell to approximately $17.10 million (down from about $86.95 million in the previous session).

The weakening of new institutional buying power prevented Bitcoin from breaking through the $85,000 resistance level, keeping the price in the mid-$83,000 range.

What to watch today and this week

1. 1 Oct (Thu) - 3 Oct (Sat) KST — The 'bitcoin++' developer conference in Berlin, Germany. This developer-focused technical conference will cover Bitcoin blockchain-based payment infrastructure, the Lightning Network, and eCash technologies.
2. 2 Oct (Fri) 09:00 KST — Large-scale token unlock for DoubleZero (2Z). The project will unlock 1.66 billion 2Z tokens (worth approximately $113 million), which represents about 16.55% of the total supply and 47.7% of the current circulating supply, with early investor Jump Crypto receiving the largest portion of 575 million tokens.
3. 3 Oct (Sat) KST — 'XRP Seoul 2026' conference in Seoul, South Korea. Hosted by Ripple during Korea Blockchain Week (KBW) at the Grand Hyatt Seoul, key executives including Ripple President Monica Long will discuss asset tokenization (converting physical assets into digital tokens) and the future of digital finance alongside major Korean financial institutions like Kyobo Securities, Woori Bank, and KakaoBank.
4. 5 Oct (Mon) KST — Early permanent unlock of Ethena (ENA) investor tokens. The Ethena Foundation agreed to fully unlock early investor allocations early on this day instead of the original monthly schedule running until March 2028, releasing approximately 1.41 billion ENA tokens (about 14% of the circulating supply) at once, though immediate market pressure may be limited as the foundation pre-purchased and controlled some venture capital allocations through over-the-counter transactions.
5. 5 Oct (Mon) KST — Activation of the 'Permission Delegation' upgrade on XRP Ledger (XRPL). The 'PermissionDelegationV1_1' amendment, which allows users to delegate account authority to third parties or internal departments without exposing master private keys, will officially activate after receiving 82% validator support.

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