How is ARB Korea premium calculated?

Accepted Answer

ARB Korea premium (%) = ((Upbit ARB/KRW price) / (Binance ARB/USDT price × USD/KRW exchange rate) - 1) × 100. A positive value means ARB is more expensive on Korean exchanges.

Question 3

Why does Arbitrum have a different price on Korean exchanges?

Accepted Answer

Arbitrum prices on Korean exchanges like Upbit often differ from global prices due to strong domestic demand, capital movement restrictions, limited arbitrage opportunities, and the isolated nature of the Korean won (KRW) crypto market.

Can I arbitrage ARB between Upbit and Binance?

Accepted Answer

While the ARB price difference exists, profitable arbitrage is difficult due to Korean capital controls, transfer times and fees, exchange withdrawal limits, and regulatory restrictions. The premium is better used as a market sentiment indicator.
