KUB Coin ranks #96 of 504 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #554: 458 of the 553 assets ahead of it are not native coins but tokens or claims. A token is issued on a host blockchain rather than running its own; a claim stands for an asset already counted. Of the 554 non-native assets CoinSpectrum lists above it by market cap, about 59% are tokens, 33% are claims on other assets and 8% are memecoins.

Grade pending. KUB Coin's launch — how much went to insiders, whether it was sold to investors — is still being researched. A grade is not given until it is, so that a coin is never rated higher for what is not yet known.

| Durability: five years or more with no halt, freeze or reversal | ✗ | 4 full years since its first recorded price, no halt, freeze or reversal in five years |
| Fungibility: every unit interchangeable, none the protocol can freeze or set apart | ✗ | an authority can freeze funds: Block production is limited to a small Bitkub-approved validator set (nine producers seen, one making over half the blocks), so the operator can halt or censor the chain. |
| Divisibility: the smallest unit worth a cent or less | ✓ | 18 decimal places, the smallest unit worth $5.7e-19 |

| Verifiability: open-source nodes and checking without a trusted server | ✗ | node software not open source |
| Privacy (5 checks) | 2 | 1 of 5 passed source |
| Whitepaper privacy: keys are not tied to an identity | ✓ | KYC in Bitkub NEXT gates that wallet and its dApp features; KUB can be sent to external addresses such as MetaMask, and the chain rules carry no identity check. |
| UTXO ledger: a new key for each payment, no account linking every coin | ✗ | |

Twenty criteria, weighted equally. The Cryptocurrency Standards have six sections: sound money qualities (six checks: scarcity, durability, fungibility, divisibility, portability, verifiability), privacy (five checks), scalability (four measures and three features), security (miner pay and seven checks), programmability (token issuance, smart contracts and five checks) and decentralisation (censorship resistance, no central team, who can mint, nodes, holders, premine, fundraising and developer share). Provisional: criteria marked — are not yet measured and are left out of the average. A rating of structure and market depth, not a price forecast or investment advice. How the grade is built · Highest-graded cryptocurrencies.
68,974,776 of a maximum 110,000,000 KUB are in circulation — 62.7% of the total that will ever exist.
| Premine (allocated at launch) | 100% of today's supply |
|---|---|
| Developer share received since launch | 0% of today's supply |
| Developer share of new coins today | 0% |
| Nodes or validators | 11 |
Bitkub Blockchain Technology created the entire supply (1B KUB, reduced to a fixed 110M by burning 890M on 9 Aug 2021), and there is no further issuance; total supply is 110M.
No token sale, investor round or airdrop amounts found in Bitkub's own materials; one aggregator mentions an initial airdrop to Bitkub Exchange customers. Not established.
No issuance: the supply is a fixed 110M (890M burned in Aug 2021) and no new KUB is minted, so there is nothing to cut.

No SEC/CFTC determination — unclassified.
The regulator's position, reported as stated, not CoinSpectrum's. Assets nobody has ruled on are left unclassified rather than sorted by a guess.
KUB Coin is #96 among cryptocurrencies and #554 in the market ranking, which lists wrapped coins, staked derivatives, stablecoins and tokens alongside them. CoinSpectrum counts an asset once, and counts only cryptocurrencies: assets with their own blockchain and their own consensus. A wrapped coin, a staked derivative or a stablecoin is a claim on something already counted; a token, memecoin or otherwise, runs on another chain's blocks. All of them are listed, each in its own section, and none is added to the total. The 458 places between KUB Coin's two ranks are held by claims and tokens, not by other networks. The methodology sets out the rule and the counting rule argues for it.
The price above is the median of the exchanges the site reads live, checked every minute and cross-checked against a market snapshot (how market data is gathered). The grade is scored on published criteria, each with its source (the method). The site is independent, nothing on it is a paid placement, and its statements are signed (about CoinSpectrum, the manifesto).
