According to Cryptopolitan, the kimchi premium for Bitcoin on South Korean exchanges has risen to 1.98%, the highest level since the end of February.This metric measures the price difference between Bitcoin on South Korean exchanges and the global volume-weighted average price through CryptoQuant's Korean premium index. After the outbreak of the US-Iran conflict in early March, this index fell to a discount of -2.27%, and this rebound indicates a resurgence in demand from South Korean buyers. Currently, calculated using the Upbit price and the global volume-weighted average price, the premium has fallen back to 0.77%.

ChainCatcher news, CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju posted on X platform that the Bitcoin "kimchi premium" has reached 12%, a new high in three years. The main reason for the decline in BTC seems to be the strengthening of the DXY (Dollar Index).

ChainCatcher news, CryptoQuant analyst Joo Hyun Ryu stated, "The 'kimchi premium' has reached a local high of 5.12, indicating that the demand for Bitcoin among Korean investors is very strong."Ryu explained, "However, this sharp market correction seems to be attracting new investors, as data shows that the proportion of short-term holders (STH, holding period of less than three months) has increased by 3 percentage points in just one week."

ChainCatcher news, South Korean prosecutors have indicted 20 individuals for illegally remitting approximately 40 trillion won (about 3.2 billion USD) overseas, and for illegally profiting up to 210 billion won (about 17 million USD) from the cryptocurrency kimchi premium. South Korean officials have filed for detention against 11 of them, while the other 9 have not been detained.The defendants transferred funds to other countries and purchased cryptocurrencies by disguising them as foreign trade payments through 256 South Korean bank accounts between January 2021 and August 2022, and then sold the cryptocurrencies at high prices in South Korea. Prosecutors stated that given the kimchi premium rate was as high as 5% at the time of the violations, they are currently executing the procedure to confiscate a total of 13.1 billion won (about 10.6 million USD).
