Crypto market today — BTC $84,802 (+0.35%) · premium +0.79% · 128 up vs 45 down · 4 Oct

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

These numbers are not borrowed from other outlets — we read them directly from 21 exchanges.

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. 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 losers

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

• GLMR $0.0123 (+44.81%) — spot turnover $12.7M, 6.5x a week ago
• NIGHT $0.0480 (-0.52%) — spot turnover $16.3M, 6.1x a week ago
• US $0.0197 (-19.01%) — spot turnover $7M, 6.1x 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 +0.79% — 24h average +0.82%, range -0.09% to +1.08%. Korea is slightly more expensive = normal domestic demand.

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

• PUMPBTC premium — LBank $0.008214 · Bithumb $0.0104 — 27.03% apart
• SUI premium — Poloniex $1.17 · Upbit $1.19 — 1.71% apart
• INJ premium — DigiFinex $7.56 · Upbit $7.67 — 1.44% 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 -0.0001% per 8h (about 0.00% a day) — Shorts dominate — more money is betting on a fall
• ETH 0.0091% per 8h (about 0.03% a day) — At the baseline = longs are not crowded
• ARK a lot of money is betting it falls — holding leverage costs about 6.45% a day (Bybit)
• 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. US SEC Proposes New Digital Asset Custody Framework

On October 2, 2026, Paul Atkins, the Chairman of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), proposed a new digital asset custody framework. This framework aims to provide a compliant and secure pathway for investment advisers and funds to hold cryptocurrencies. The public comment period for this proposal is scheduled to run until October 20, 2026.

Anticipation of regulatory clarity provided positive momentum to the market, helping Bitcoin (BTC) reclaim the $85,000 level and briefly break above $87,000.

2. US September Nonfarm Payrolls Fall Significantly Short of Expectations

On October 2, 2026, the US government released the September nonfarm payrolls report showing an increase of only 29,000 jobs, which fell significantly short of the market expectation of 84,000 to 90,000 jobs. The unemployment rate was reported at 4.2%.

The weak labor market data eased concerns over further Federal Reserve interest rate hikes, temporarily lowering Treasury yields and acting as a strong catalyst to push Bitcoin above $85,000 and eventually past $87,000.

3. Crypto ETFs Bounce Back After Temporary Quarter-End Outflows

On September 30, 2026, the final trading day of the third quarter, US spot Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana ETFs experienced a combined net outflow of $219 million. However, this was analyzed as temporary portfolio rebalancing rather than a loss of market confidence, as Bitcoin ETFs quickly rebounded with a net inflow of $103 million on October 1, 2026.

Although the temporary quarter-end outflows briefly slowed down the market, Bitcoin prices resumed their upward trend once the rebalancing ended and fresh inflows were confirmed on October 1.

What to watch today and this week

1. 05 Oct (Mon) 21:00 KST — Massive token unlock of Ethena (ENA) by the Ethena Foundation. The early release of 1.41 billion ENA, representing approximately 14% of the circulating supply, has recently put downward pressure on the token's price.
2. 05 Oct (Mon) 21:00 KST — Official listing and Token Generation Event (TGE) of Pheasant Network (PNT) on KuCoin. This marks the official market debut and start of trading for the AI-powered decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol's native token.
3. 08 Oct (Thu) 15:00 UTC / 09 Oct (Fri) 00:00 KST — Token unlock of Ethos Network (WHUF). The unlock will allow users to transfer and claim WHUF tokens from the decentralized social application.

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