What QUBIC coordinates
QUBIC is an AI / DePIN infrastructure token, currently ranked 255th by market capitalization among the assets we track. QUBIC sits in the AI/DePIN category, where tokens incentivize a real-world or compute resource network. Providers earn QUBIC for contributing capacity, and demand for that capacity is the fundamental to watch.
Qubic is a protocol designed to enable complex smart contracts and decentralized applications on the IOTA platform, utilizing a unique system of oracles. It aims to enhance interoperability and flexibility in blockchain technology.
How the network bootstraps supply and demand
The durable version of QUBIC is one where actual usage — inference, storage, connectivity — generates revenue that exceeds the incentives paid out. Until then, much of the demand for the token is subsidy-driven.

Background & fundamentals
QUBIC first went live in 2022, giving it roughly 4 years of on-chain price history to draw on. Its codebase is open-source, meaning the implementation can be audited rather than taken on trust. CoinPaprika classifies the project's development status as "Working product".
In sector terms it is most often filed under Cryptocurrency, Proof Of Work, and Layer 1 (L1).
Where QUBIC sits in the market
At $0.00000040, QUBIC carries a market capitalization of $50.36M. Around $1.63M changes hands across exchanges in a typical 24-hour window. That is a turnover of about 3.24% of the float — a healthy level of activity for an asset this size.
Only ~69% of the 200T-QUBIC maximum supply is circulating today, so emissions remain a live factor in price discovery. QUBIC remains -97% beneath its all-time high of $0.00001322, the kind of gap that historically takes a full cycle or a fresh catalyst to close.
What the price history shows
Across timeframes, QUBIC shows 24-hour +7.63%, 7-day -4.58%, 30-day -15.79%, 1-year -67.79%. Across roughly the last 366 days of daily candles, QUBIC endured a peak-to-trough drawdown of about 86% before stabilizing.
Volatility profile
Recent action puts QUBIC in the High-volatility band — it has been actively trading, with daily moves that would be unusual in traditional equities. Over the last 30 days the move totals -15.79%, a useful input for stop placement and position sizing.
How to evaluate an AI/DePIN token like QUBIC
The honest checklist for QUBIC is short:
- Real demand — paying usage of the network's resource, not just provider rewards funded by QUBIC emissions.
- Supply growth — how much real-world or compute capacity the network has actually brought online.
- Token economics — whether QUBIC demand can outgrow the incentives the protocol pays to bootstrap it.
