Following Quote.Trade’s $4M raise, the V6 launch combines non-upgradeable smart-contract funding, deeper aggregated liquidity, & dedicated AI agent infrastructure
Seoul, South Korea, Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Quote.Trade has unveiled the V6 launch of its AI-native crypto dark pool DEX built for humans, bots, and AI agents at Korea Blockchain Week. V6 combines Quote.Trade's strategy-blind private execution with non-upgradeable smart-contract funding and upgraded aggregated liquidity depth that is designed for a crypto market increasingly shaped by algorithmic and autonomous trading.
V6 is built on Quote.Trade's audited, directly deployed funding contracts on Ethereum and XDC. Unlike upgradeable proxy contracts, the V6 core cannot be modified in place; new logic requires a new deployment and controlled migration. Customer collateral remains visible onchain and protected by contract-enforced withdrawal controls, registered-wallet settlement, and public reconciliation against published balances and position state.
V6 also introduces deeper aggregated liquidity and continuously updated, size-specific quotes across more than 1,500 markets. Traders see the all-in executable price for their requested size before committing — not an indicative top-of-book price that can change as an order walks the book. The complete order executes at the quoted price or nothing trades.
The announcement comes just one week after Quote.Trade appointed three seasoned industry leaders — Michael Terpin, John Divine, and William P. Evans — as strategic advisors, and follows a $4 million capital raise earlier this year to expand its AI-native dark pool infrastructure and deepen liquidity relationships. Quote.Trade has since expanded to more than 1,500 markets and added native support for XDC Network and Circle-issued USDC on XDC.
What Makes Quote.Trade Better for Traders
Quote.Trade was built around a set of deliberate design decisions that separate it from both centralized exchanges and existing decentralized venues:
- You know your all-in cost before you trade. Quote.Trade streams the complete executable price for your actual size before you commit. The entire order fills at that price or nothing trades — no slippage, no hidden fees, no surprises.
- Your strategy is never exposed. Quote.Trade's execution engine sees only what it needs to fill an order — not whether it came from a limit, stop, bracket, bot, or AI agent. Limit and stop orders are managed separately from the execution engine, which receives only immediate fill-or-kill instructions.
- Your collateral is never rehypothecated. Assets held on Quote.Trade are never lent, pledged, or reused. Collateral remains visible on-chain and verifiable by anyone at any time.
- Front-running and manipulation are provably impossible. The architecture is designed so that Quote.Trade cannot front-run orders or manipulate execution — and can demonstrate this, rather than simply claiming it.
- Binance API users and bots can integrate quickly. Quote.Trade is compatible with the Binance V3 API, helping existing strategies, bots, and trading systems integrate without rebuilding from scratch.
- AI agents trade with no restrictions. Quote.Trade is the only venue that treats AI agents as genuine first-class participants — with full access to market data, order preview, and autonomous execution. No human-in-the-loop requirements, no guardrails that treat agents as second-class users.
“Most trading venues ask users to reveal their intent before they know the true cost, then trust what happens to their collateral. We inverted both assumptions,” said Chris Mack, CTO of Quote.Trade. “Our execution engine sees only what it needs to execute—not whether an order came from a limit, stop, bracket, bot or AI-agent strategy. Traders see the all-in executable price for their full size before committing; the entire order fills at that price or nothing trades. Meanwhile, collateral remains visible onchain, where anyone can verify it has not been lent, pledged or reused. That is predictable, reliable, private execution—and fundamentally different market structure.”
Quote.Trade's V6 launch at Korea Blockchain Week marks the moment the platform opens its doors to the wider market. Alpha League — the company's inaugural trading competition, running through December 31, 2026 — is the first test of that invitation, giving human traders, bots, and AI agents the chance to compete on the same private execution infrastructure that V6 was built to deliver.
Alpha League: A Trading Competition Built for the Next Era of Crypto
Alpha League participants can compete through either Live or Paper divisions using the app, API, bots or AI agents. The Live division carries a $2,000 USDC prize pool and potential consideration for up to $50,000 in Quote.Trade-owned strategy capital, while the Paper division offers $1,000 in prizes and potential consideration for up to $25,000 following further validation. The competition runs through December 31, 2026.
