Quote Trade Launches AI Dark Pool DEX on XDC Network with Native USDC and 5x Leverage

Quote Trade has launched its AI dark pool DEX on the XDC Network with native USDC and 5x leverage, filling a gap for institutional users who had limited access to private, on-chain execution for treasury or market-making activity. The integration lands as XDC crosses $1.1 billion in tokenized real-world assets, approximately $860 million of which is in credit instruments like trade receivables and corporate bonds.

The dark pool DEX keeps trading intent hidden until execution, protecting orders from front-running and sandwich attacks. Traders still control their assets on-chain through audited smart contracts. In contrast to standard DEX order books, no observable flow leaks to MEV bots or competing desks.

XDC's ecosystem has focused on trade finance, RWA tokenization, and enterprise settlement infrastructure. With Quote Trade's private venue, institutional traders can now hedge or rebalance through a clean base pair for large block execution. The integration matches how institutional-grade trading systems are moving toward programmable, agent-driven execution.

Billy Sebell, Executive Director of the XDC Foundation, called Quote Trade 'a natural fit for institutional capital.' Adam Strong, spokesperson for Quote Trade, framed the launch around private execution, stablecoin settlement, and zero-fee access.
