Crypto market today — BTC $83,296 (-2.59%) · premium +1.87% · 70 up vs 209 down · 8 Oct

The past 24 hours (measured by AntProfit · as of 08:30 on 8 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. With far more losers than gainers, the market was pressed down 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)

• LYN $0.0204 (-4.59%) — spot turnover $3.9M, 10.9x a week ago
• ZEUS $0.0119 (+93.84%) — spot turnover $24.8M, 6.8x a week ago
• EDU $0.0627 (-2.43%) — spot turnover $2.4M, 6.7x 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 +1.87% — 24h average +1.53%, range +0.84% to +1.95%. Korea is slightly more expensive = normal domestic demand.

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

• OP premium — Poloniex $0.1207 · Upbit $0.1232 — 2.04% apart
• MINA premium — LBank $0.0918 · Upbit $0.0931 — 1.46% apart
• SKY premium — Poloniex $0.0797 · Upbit $0.0806 — 1.17% 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 0.0045% per 8h (about 0.01% a day) — At the baseline = longs are not crowded
• ETH -0.0024% per 8h (about 0.01% a day) — Shorts dominate — more money is betting on a fall
• FET a lot of money is betting it falls — holding leverage costs about 4.5% a day (CoinEx)
• CL a lot of money is betting it rises — 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 Market Tensions and Rising Bond Yields Trigger Crypto Sell-Off

On October 7, 2026, the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield surged past 5.3%, reaching its highest level in 24 years. Concurrently, geopolitical tensions escalated as an Iranian attack in the Strait of Hormuz pushed Brent crude oil prices above $100 per barrel, driving investors away from risky assets.

Bitcoin (BTC) fell to as low as $82,734 during the day, erasing most of its October gains, while Ethereum (ETH) dropped over 5% to the $2,550 level and broader altcoins declined by 3% to 5%.

2. Massive Long Liquidations Cause Leverage Flush in Crypto Market

According to data from Coinglass on October 7, 2026, approximately $650 million worth of cryptocurrency futures positions were liquidated within a 24-hour period, with the vast majority being long positions (bets on price increases). This leverage flush occurred after Bitcoin failed to break through the $87,000 resistance level.

The sudden drop triggered forced selling as the $84,000 support level broke, which accelerated the downward momentum and deepened Bitcoin's price decline.

3. U.S. House Committee Approves Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act

On October 7, 2026, the U.S. House Committee on Ways and Means announced the bipartisan approval of the Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act (H.R. 10357). The bill aims to provide tax clarity and benefits for cryptocurrency owners, traders, and users while aligning tax treatment with traditional financial assets.

Although viewed as a long-term positive development for regulatory clarity, it failed to trigger an immediate price recovery due to the overwhelming downward pressure from macroeconomic headwinds and large-scale liquidations.

4. Slowing U.S. Job Growth Temporarily Eases Rate Hike Fears

According to data released on October 2, 2026, U.S. non-farm payrolls for September increased by only 29,000, falling significantly short of the expected 90,000, while the unemployment rate rose to 4.2%. This slowdown temporarily eased market concerns regarding an additional interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve in October.

Bitcoin initially reacted positively by rising to the $86,800 level, but it subsequently gave back those gains as bond yields surged and geopolitical risks intensified.
