Crypto market today — BTC $82,657 (+0.93%) · premium +1.84% · 181 up vs 77 down · 10 Oct

The past 24 hours (measured by AntProfit · as of 08:30 on 10 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 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)

• ORCA $2.26 (-4.24%) — spot turnover $5.7M, 9.8x a week ago
• CTSI $0.0342 (+1.97%) — spot turnover $8.7M, 9.2x a week ago
• EDU $0.0691 (+4.32%) — spot turnover $2.5M, 8.2x 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 +1.84% — 24h average +1.96%, range +1.54% to +2.68%. Korea is slightly more expensive = normal domestic demand.

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

• GMT premium — Bitrue $0.0096 · Bithumb $0.0101 — 5.31% apart
• SAND premium — Poloniex $0.0680 · Upbit $0.0691 — 1.55% apart
• ARB premium — Poloniex $0.1804 · Upbit $0.1822 — 0.97% 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 0.006% per 8h (about 0.02% 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
• KAIA a lot of money is betting it falls — holding leverage costs about 4.86% 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. Bitcoin Rebounds as US-Iran Tensions Ease

On October 8, 2026, US President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that the US would not attack Iran before the November midterm elections, noting that productive discussions had occurred. Following this statement, the surging US 10-year Treasury yields and international oil prices turned downward, while the US Dollar Index also weakened.

This easing of geopolitical risks and macroeconomic pressures helped Bitcoin (BTC) recover above $82,600, rebounding from its 2.5-week low of $80,400–$80,500 caused by leverage liquidations and profit-taking.

2. Former Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky Permanently Banned from Industry

On October 9, 2026, New York Attorney General Letitia James announced a legal settlement that permanently bans Alex Mashinsky, the co-founder and former CEO of the bankrupt crypto lending platform Celsius, from the securities, commodities, and cryptocurrency industries. The agreement includes a conditional obligation to pay up to $35 million to New York State if he fails to meet forfeiture and prison term requirements in his federal criminal case.

While the news did not trigger immediate price fluctuations, it drew market attention as a step toward resolving regulatory risks by concluding judicial punishment for a major bankruptcy figure.

3. Blockchain.com Applies for US Prediction Market and Derivatives Licenses

On October 9, 2026, media outlets reported that the global digital asset platform Blockchain.com submitted applications to the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) for a Designated Contract Market (DCM) license and Futures Commission Merchant (FCM) registration. This move aims to offer event contracts (prediction markets) and cryptocurrency derivatives to US retail and institutional clients.

This development heightened long-term expectations for liquidity inflows by showcasing intensifying competition to secure a foothold in the regulated US derivatives and prediction markets.
