Dogecoin Frenzy Arrives In Korea: ‘Kimchi Premium’ Returns Amid DOGE’s 110% Rally

Source Newsbtc

Dogecoin (DOGE) continues to lead the crypto market with its 116% surge over the last week. The memecoin’s frenzy has outperformed most to 100 cryptocurrencies and even made DOGE’s price in South Korean exchanges briefly rise higher than global exchanges like Binance.

‘Kimchi Premium’ Returns Amid Dogecoin Rally

Trump’s victory sparked a massive crypto market rally, creating a craze around the leading memecoin Dogecoin. The token’s trading volume increased 157% in the last seven days, driving DOGE’s price from trading below the $0.20 mark to above the $0.40 range.

This week, the Dogecoin frenzy arrived in South Korea, eclipsing a significant share of the Korean market. Web3 analyst Bradley Park highlighted that the memecoin had a remarkable $10.6 billion 24-hour trading volume on the Korean exchange Upbit.

Based on CryptoQuant data, the analyst pointed out that Dogecoin was the local crypto exchange’s top-traded token, with 32.4% of the total volume as of Wednesday, surpassing Bitcoin (BTC).

Moreover, on Tuesday, Dogecoin saw a spike in volume globally, reaching $22 billion in a single day. Upbit accounted for 20.7% of DOGE’s global trading volume, falling second to Binance’s 41.5% share.

The memecoin’s spike in Korean demand sparked DOGE’s “Kimchi Premium” on Korean top crypto exchanges. “Kimchi Premium” refers to the price gap of a cryptocurrency between South Korean and global exchanges.

On Tuesday, the DOGE/KRW trading pair on Upbit and Bithumb briefly surpassed the DOGE/USDT pair on Binance by 1.5%, recording the largest premium in three months.

At the time of writing, Upbit’s DOGE/USDT trading pair is trading at $0.433, 1.6% above Binance’s $0.426 trading price.

DOGE About To Reach The Moon?

Dogecoin’s performance has sparked a bullish sentiment among investors. According to crypto analyst Kaleo, the memecoin is “in the process of making the massive impulse move to the new all-time Highs at the early stages of a new bull market that it is known for.”

The analyst details that the cryptocurrency makes “swift moves with massive multiples” around 200 days after the Bitcoin Halving, with timing between previous ATHs and the beginning of each move having a “similar cadence.”

The analyst noted that Dogecoin still has “a lot of room to run up” if history repeats itself. He explained that the last time DOGE moved up from its current levels, it surged 65% to above the $0.7 mark in 24 hours.

Moreover, he highlighted that the last time the memecoin registered a breakout like this from its BTC pair, it had a remarkable 175% pump toward its previous ATH. Based on this, the analyst forecasted that the long-awaited $1 target for the memecoin will be reached soon.

Dogecoin is trading at $0.42, a 9.7% and 114% surge in the daily and weekly timeframes.

Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant. The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year. Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus. Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses. Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
