Cube is a crypto exchange where you keep your own keys, see the real order book, and never wonder if the platform is trading against you. The matching engine runs at 200 microseconds from data centers in Tokyo, Stockholm, and Pittsburgh.
We started the company because every exchange we traded on had at least one deal-breaker: custody risk, hidden spreads, or infrastructure that fell apart under load. The team came from Citadel, JP Morgan, DRW, and Solana Labs, and we took what worked from those systems and left behind what didn't.
When you buy BTC, buy SOL, or trade any of 1,420+ tokens on Cube, the order hits a central limit order book secured by MPC custody. Every resting order is visible before you execute. There is no internal matching, no hidden counterparty, and no spread markup.
The matching engine uses implied matching to check multiple books simultaneously. An ETH/BTC order also routes through ETH/USDC and BTC/USDC, pulling liquidity from all three to find the best fill. Most exchanges fragment depth across isolated pairs, which costs traders 40 to 60 percent of available liquidity. Cube consolidates it.
Execution happens from co-located servers in TY11 Tokyo, SK2 Stockholm, and PIT1 Pittsburgh at 200 microseconds. Market Price Protection caps slippage automatically if the price moves between submission and fill. For longer strategies, built-in TWAP and DCA execute from your non-custodial vault without manual intervention.
Which crypto exchange gives you the best price?
Every order routes through a transparent order book. Full depth of market is visible before you place a trade. No hidden spreads, no internal market-making against you.
How do you avoid high slippage when trading crypto?
How do I keep my crypto safe on an exchange?
Your private keys are split across independent Guardian nodes using MPC custody. No single party ever holds a complete key. Assets sit in individual non-custodial vaults, not pooled wallets.
Trust in a marketplace is partly product, partly who stands behind it. Our investors and partners provide liquidity, compliance infrastructure, and the capital to build for the long term.
