📚 Crypto Education: What is Kimchi Premium?

Kimchi Premium refers to the price difference of cryptocurrencies on South Korean exchanges compared to global exchanges like Binance.

Why does it happen?
🇰🇷 Strict capital controls in South Korea
🇰🇷 High retail investor demand
🇰🇷 Limited arbitrage opportunities

Today's Kimchi Premium (April 17, 2026):
• BTC: 0.36% premium
• ETH: 0.34% premium
• XRP: 0.36% premium
• SOL: 0.29% premium

When premium is positive → Korean investors paying more
When negative ("Kimchi Discount") → bearish signal

⛏️ Bitcoin Halving Effect Still Strong

Bitcoin continues to benefit from the long-term effects of its recent halving event. Historically, halvings reduce supply and create upward pressure on price over time. Current market behavior suggests that this pattern may still be playing out.

Supply on exchanges has decreased slightly, indicating that investors are holding rather than selling. This reduces available supply in the market and can push prices higher when demand increases.

The post-halving phase is often slow at first, followed by strong rallies. This is why many long-term investors are accumulating during current price levels.

If demand continues to rise while supply remains limited, Bitcoin could experience a significant upward move in the coming months.

South Korea is kicking off a pilot that will replace government expense credit cards with blockchain‐based deposit tokens.

Blockchain Goes TradFi?
The Ministry of Finance and Economy announced on an official press release that the pilot project for the execution of national treasury funds using blockchain‐based digital currency has been approved.

This new official venture marks the second time in which South Korea’s government uses digital currency and deposit tokens for the execution of national treasury funds, following another pilot project for building electric‐vehicle charging facilities and paying national subsidies together with the Ministry of Environment.

Deposit tokens are digital claims on commercial bank deposits, issued on permissioned blockchain rails, spendable by citizens and companies at participating merchants and service providers.

In simpler words, deposit tokens are digital versions of the money already kept in a normal bank account. The bank “wraps” those deposits into tokens on a private (permissioned) blockchain, and you can then spend those tokens at approved shops or service providers, just like using a card or mobile wallet.

In contrast with Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), that are digital versions of a country’s official money, created and managed directly by its central bank, deposit tokens have programmable settlement, transparent tracking of public money, and real‐time reporting for the state.

Pilot Details
The press release states that under the current National Treasury Funds Management Act, business promotion costs and related operating expenses are required to be paid with government purchase cards, effectively blocking the use of deposit tokens. Thanks to the new regulatory sandbox, those same payments can now be made with deposit tokens, creating a real‐world testbed for a new government

Bitcoin surged past $74,500 this week after reports confirmed that US-Iran peace talks had resumed, sending short sellers scrambling and triggering $537M in liquidations across more than 180,000 positions. The rally lifted BTC to a four-week high while the broader crypto market added $48B in total value within 36 hours. Crypto market news today centers on whether this geopolitical catalyst can sustain momentum or whether the same structural fragility that compressed prices for two months will reassert itself.

#Some altcoins are standing at technical and fundamental inflection points as March 2026 enters its final week. Each faces a near-term catalyst that could resolve their chart structures in one direction or the other. Thus, BeInCrypto has analysed three such altcoins that the investors should keep an eye on as March nears its end. Sandbox (SAND) The Sandbox (SAND) is trading at $0.0802, up 4.2%, under a descending resistance trendline and a descending support trendline from the February lows. Price sits above the Fibonacci 0.382 ($0.0799) and under 0.5 ($0.0829) levels, below the EMA at $0.0827, which adds overhead resistance. A break above the 0.5 Fib line would target the 0.618 Fibonacci level at $0.0858 and the 0.786 level at $0.0901. Want more token insights like this?

The Sandbox NEXT, a fully mobile third-person shooter built on Unreal Engine, opens its exclusive playtest on March 26. This marks the platform’s first major mobile expansion, directly addressing its user accessibility gap. However, if the investors opt to sell their holdings, the SAND price could take a hit. The altcoin could end up losing the $0.0762 support, marked by the 23.6% Fib line. Falling through this support would invalidate the bullish thesis. Onyxcoin (XCN) Onyxcoin (XCN) is trading at $0.0051 on the daily chart, holding just above the 0.382 Fibonacci level at $0.0051 after a sharp 21.72% decline from its March 15 peak. The EMA has begun curling upward through the $0.0052 zone, offering dynamic support. Volume stands at 23.66M, with today’s session printing a green candle above the 0.236 level at $0.0049. XCN’s hold above the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement at $0.0051 sets the foundation for a recovery toward the 0.618 level at $0.0054. A sustained push through that zone opens the path to the 0.786 retracement at $0.0057, where prior consolidation occurred in early
