Crypto market today — BTC $80,888 (+1.21%) · premium +0.59% · 192 up vs 69 down · 28 Oct

The past 24 hours (measured by AntProfit · as of 08:30 on 28 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)

• OKTA $227.32 (+3.85%) — 9.8x a week ago
• MAGMA $0.2529 (-16.02%) — spot turnover $461.4K, 8.2x a week ago
• COMP $21.25 (-3.41%) — spot turnover $1M, 6.8x 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 +0.59% — 24h average +0.6%, range +0.44% to +0.84%. Korea is slightly more expensive = normal domestic demand.

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

• IRYS premium — KuCoin $0.0257 · Bithumb $0.0271 — 5.17% apart
• ANIME premium — Bitrue $0.0029 · Upbit $0.00297074 — 2.44% apart
• AAVE premium — Poloniex $131.86 · Upbit $133.16 — 0.98% 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 0.01% per 8h (about 0.03% a day) — At the baseline = longs are not crowded
• ETH 0.0086% per 8h (about 0.03% a day) — At the baseline = longs are not crowded
• IRYS a lot of money is betting it falls — holding leverage costs about 6.51% a day (Bybit)
• BMT a lot of money is betting it falls — holding leverage costs about 3.57% a day (Bybit)

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 Recovers to $80,000 Level Ahead of Fed Rate Decision

According to reports by Morningstar / Dow Jones and The Motley Fool on October 27, 2026, Bitcoin briefly fell below $80,000 ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) interest rate announcement. However, it rebounded alongside a recovery in U.S. stock markets and renewed appetite for risk assets, climbing back to the $80,500–$80,800 range.

Bitcoin recorded a 24-hour gain of approximately +0.8% to +1.2%, while Ethereum rose by about +1.5%.

2. Ripple Receives Approval for U.S. Federal Trust Bank Charter

As reported by 24/7 Wall St. on October 27, 2026, Ripple obtained final approval from U.S. financial authorities for a federal trust bank charter (a official license allowing a institution to hold and manage assets on behalf of clients).

Following the positive announcement, the price of XRP increased by approximately +2.3% over a 24-hour period to reach $1.32.

3. Galaxy Digital Identifies Bitcoin Accumulation Phase Amid Selling Signals

In a report released on October 26, 2026, Alex Thorn, Head of Research at Galaxy Digital, stated that Bitcoin's bear market has ended and that it has entered an accumulation phase (a period where investors gradually buy assets before a price increase), as reported by The Motley Fool and 24/7 Wall St. on October 27. However, the report noted that data from Glassnode shows an increasing proportion of short positions (bets that an asset's price will decline) among large traders on the Hyperliquid platform, indicating that selling pressure remains in the market.

Market participants monitored both the bullish accumulation signal and the ongoing selling pressure indicated by large trader short positions.

What to watch today and this week
