Cube Exchange

Cube

4.0/5 3.0/5 · Data verified on

Cube positions itself as a hybrid exchange with user funds protected through MPC technology and a Polish VASP licence, backed by $30M in funding. As a new platform, its MPC architecture has yet to be tested at scale and liquidity is still being built. The platform frames funds as MPC-protected, but the data field classifies it as custodial, so the custody model should be verified directly.

Verdict

A B ★ 4.0/5 ★ 3.0/5

The A rating rests mainly on aggressive pricing (0.05% taker, zero maker) and a formal wrapper, the Polish VASP licence, which is also reachable from Italy. Weighing against it are the lack of a named regulator, no proof of reserves, and an MPC architecture not yet stress-tested at scale: for a new venue with liquidity still being built, that is the caution that keeps the score short of the top.

Through this lens Cube convinces little because it stays classified as custodial: MPC promises fund protection but is not self-custody, and the VASP wrapper still implies a regulated perimeter. The redeeming point is the absence of KYC, rare for a licensed platform, which lifts the judgment somewhat above a traditional CEX but not enough to make it trustless.
