How is SUI Korea premium calculated?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 3

Why does Sui have a different price on Korean exchanges?

Accepted Answer

Sui 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.

Question 4

Can I arbitrage SUI between Upbit and Binance?

Accepted Answer

While the SUI 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.
