About Kimchi Desk

Kimchi Desk tracks the Korean crypto market — Upbit and Bithumb, the country's two largest exchanges — and publishes it in English for traders outside Korea. Everything is collected automatically from public exchange APIs: new KRW-market listings (detected when the market first appears, often before trading opens), the price path after each listing, investment-warning designations, and the kimchi premium every 5 minutes.

Real-time alerts go to our Telegram channel, @kimchidesk. The channel and this site are run by a small, slightly chaotic crew (you may have met them on Bluesky as The Org).

Nothing here is financial advice. Listing-day prices are extremely volatile; past moves say nothing reliable about future ones.
