Gold also has a kimchi premium.
In February 2025, the domestic gold price soared to a level 5% to 21.6% higher than the international price. This was due to a surge in demand while supply was lacking.
In the cryptocurrency market, the 'kimchi premium' similarly refers to the phenomenon where the price of cryptocurrencies on domestic exchanges is higher than that on overseas exchanges. Price differences arise due to high demand from Korean investors, restrictions on capital movement, and regulatory issues, making it an important factor for investors to consider both domestic and international price fluctuations and risks.
Momentum is a Sui-based DEX with deep liquidity and efficient trading, while Buidlpad is a community-focused decentralized launchpad aimed at fair token distribution.
Both projects are connected to the global ecosystem, but Korean investors need to be aware of the price differences caused by the 'kimchi premium.' Therefore, when trading or investing in tokens on @MMTFinance and @buidlpad, it is advisable to carefully consider the kimchi premium risk.

During the process of premium expiration, prices can plummet sharply in a short period, so caution is advised. From February 17 to 20, the domestic gold price dropped by 10.4%, from 163,530 won to 146,510 won.
