What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is a decentralised cryptocurrency that runs without banks or intermediaries. It records transactions on a public blockchain and uses proof of work, where miners validate transactions and secure the network.
The protocol controls supply by design. It caps total supply at 21 million coins and reduces new issuance every four years through halvings.
This fixed supply drives Bitcoin’s “digital gold” narrative. Bitcoin also accounts for roughly 50% of total crypto market capitalisation, which makes it the largest asset and the main reference point for the broader market.

What is the kimchi premium and how does it affect Bitcoin's KRW price?
The kimchi premium is the difference between Bitcoin prices on South Korean exchanges and global markets. Bitcoin often trades at a higher price in Korea, typically around 2% to 8%.
This happens because capital controls make it hard to move fiat in and out of the country, which limits arbitrage. Strong local demand also pushes prices above international benchmarks.
For Bitcoin, the premium is usually more stable than in smaller altcoins because of its deeper liquidity. During strong market rallies, the gap can rise well above 8% and push KRW prices even higher.
If you are comparing BTC prices in KRW, you need to factor in this premium, as it can create a noticeable difference from global prices.

How do South Korea's crypto regulations affect Bitcoin trading?
South Korea requires all crypto exchanges to register as Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) and follow strict anti-money-laundering rules.
Exchanges must also partner with local banks to provide real-name verified accounts, which link each trader’s identity to their transactions.
These rules make trading more transparent but add friction. You cannot trade anonymously, and access depends on having a verified bank account with a partnered exchange.
The government continues to refine its tax policy on crypto gains, with changing thresholds and reporting requirements. This creates some uncertainty, especially for active traders.
Bitcoin carries lower regulatory risk than many smaller tokens because its size and liquidity make it a standard listing on compliant exchanges.
