This Qubic price prediction covers an AI-focused Layer 1 that bounced off a record low in late September 2026. QUBIC closed at about $0.37 per million tokens on September 20, its lowest close ever according to Phemex, then rose every day from September 23 to 29 and spiked to about $0.69 per million on September 30 on CoinGecko’s daily data. By October 2 it had cooled to around $0.59 per million, down 15.2% in 24 hours but still up 45.8% over seven days, with a market cap of about $84 million.
What Is Qubic (QUBIC)?
Qubic is a Layer 1 blockchain created by Sergey Ivancheglo, known online as Come-from-Beyond, who earlier co-founded NXT and IOTA. It runs on 676 validators called Computors and uses what it calls useful proof of work: miners spend their computing power training Aigarth, the project’s AI research effort, instead of solving arbitrary puzzles. Transfers carry no fees, and new smart contracts are launched through an IPO-style Dutch auction in which the QUBIC spent is burned. MEXC describes the token as fair-launched, with no venture capital, presale or ICO allocation for insiders. CoinGecko’s price history for QUBIC begins on November 14, 2023, and Bitget listed it in June 2024.
On CoinGecko, QUBIC traded near $0.00000059 on October 2, 2026, with a market cap of about $84 million and a rank around #333. CoinGecko counts about 143.3 trillion QUBIC circulating, 177.8 trillion total and a 200 trillion maximum, which was cut from 1 quadrillion by community vote. Phemex flags that the network itself counted 177.78 trillion circulating on September 30, so the real market cap depends on which number you trust. The all-time high was about $0.0000126, roughly 95% above today’s price, and the all-time low of about $0.00000034 came in September 2026.
The AI Benchmark Run That Sent It Vertical
The clearest catalyst was Qubic’s September 17 all-hands call, recapped on its blog on September 22. The headline was Neuraxon, Qubic’s brain-inspired AI model, scoring 0.38 on the ARC-AGI-3 reasoning benchmark using only CPUs, with no GPU or language model, up from 0.13 earlier and 0.25 in August. Qubic claimed that beat several frontier models on the same test. The team also switched on the Ant Colony mining algorithm, known as BPP-9000, and a cross-chain oracle that lets smart contracts read other blockchains without a bridge. Phemex tied the September 23 to 29 winning streak directly to that recap.
The September 30 spike of roughly 45% in a day is harder to pin down. We found no new announcement that day. CoinMarketCap’s AI summary credited the halving on August 19, 2026, which raised the share of each epoch’s emission that is burned from 55% to about 78.75%, plus the AI narrative and recent mining results. Volume on CoinGecko was small, rising from about $1.1 million on September 29 to around $6.3 million on October 1, which suggests thin order books did much of the work. The 15% drop on October 2 fits that picture.
What the Community Actually Liked About It
Supporters love that Qubic does something rather than just promising to. In August 2025 its mining pool claimed more than half of Monero’s hashrate, and The Block reported a six-block Monero reorganization on August 12, 2025, with QUBIC near $0.0000023 and a market cap around $280 million at the time. It was controversial, but it showed the network could direct real computing power. Qubic then mined Dogecoin from April 2026, using proceeds to buy and burn QUBIC, before winding both programs down by September.
Payments add a practical angle. The Qubic blog says QUBIC is now spendable at more than 20 million merchants through AEON across six countries, including the Philippines, Nigeria, Mexico and Brazil, while the August recap put AEON’s reach at about 50 million merchants. A first Alchemy Pay campaign turned $12,613 of fiat into about 28.57 billion QUBIC, with 72% of demand from Europe. Holders also like the burn-heavy design: Phemex counts 55.22 trillion QUBIC burned so far.
Developers got attention too. Outsourced Computing went live on mainnet on July 29, 2026, letting smart contracts trigger actions outside the chain, and the AIO Dev Kit now lets builders test contracts locally for free instead of paying roughly $10,000 per IPO test run, the August recap said.
Qubic Price Prediction 2026, 2027, 2030, 2040, 2050 (QUBIC)
This Qubic price prediction table runs a statistical model against QUBIC’s live market data (current price, volatility, market cap and supply schedule) rather than assuming the current story plays out. It does not assume Neuraxon’s benchmark results turn into revenue or that the proposed buy-and-burn program is adopted, it shows a realistic range if QUBIC’s current volatility and price pattern continue. The monthly table below rolls forward automatically to always show the next 36 months from today.

How this Qubic forecast was calculated
Every input below comes from live market data and is re-checked daily. Nothing here is a guess dressed up as a number, and you can check the working yourself.
- Tier: Qubic is classified as a micro cap asset (market cap $76.87M). Larger assets are given lower growth rates, because a coin already worth billions cannot repeat the returns of one worth millions.
- Volatility: 86% annualised, measured from 2160 real price observations over the last 90 days. This sets how wide the minimum-to-maximum range is.
- Growth rate: a base of +33.6% per year for this tier, adjusted for category and liquidity (normal), giving +23.0% per year.
- Supply dilution: total supply is 1.40x the circulating supply. Those tokens unlocking over time reduce the expected price by about 8.3% per year, and that drag is subtracted.
- Market cycle: the four-year Bitcoin halving rhythm is applied on top, so a drawdown year and a post-halving expansion year are not treated the same. The next halving is expected in 2028.
- Reality check: every maximum is clamped so the implied market capitalisation cannot exceed $15.00B for an asset of this type. Any figure marked capped hit that limit.
Minimum and maximum are the 10th and 90th percentile of a log-normal distribution. That means roughly an 80% chance the real price lands inside the range, if the model's assumptions hold. They frequently will not. Ranges are scaled by time0.42 rather than the square root of time, because crypto volatility mean-reverts over multi-year horizons.
Not financial advice. This is a statistical model applied to public market data. Crypto assets are highly volatile and you can lose everything you put in. No model predicts prices, including this one. Do your own research and never invest money you cannot afford to lose.
How To Buy Qubic (QUBIC)
- QUBIC trades on centralized exchanges such as Gate, MEXC, LBank and Bitget, mostly against USDT. Order books are thin, so use limit orders.
- QUBIC runs on its own Layer 1, so withdraw only to a Qubic wallet address. Phemex also noted two QUBIC/SOL pools on a Solana exchange, which hold a bridged version.
- Watch the community tokenomics proposal for external buyers to purchase and burn QUBIC, which was still at the feedback stage in late September. The next halving step is due in August 2027.
- Position-size like it can go to zero. QUBIC hit a record low in September, its supply figures disagree by about 34 trillion tokens and a single day moved it 45%. Nothing here is an entry signal.
Is QUBIC a Good Investment? The Honest Risk Warning
Inflation and supply clarity come first. The network still emits new QUBIC every weekly epoch; Phemex puts current net emission at about 240 billion tokens per epoch even after burns. With Monero and Dogecoin mining both finished, the outside money that funded buybacks is gone, leaving only emission burns, contract fees and IPO auctions to offset issuance. Phemex also notes that the entity behind the network’s current arbitrator role is unknown and that the gap between 143 and 178 trillion circulating tokens makes valuation hard to judge.
Reputation and price history matter as well. The Monero episode drew criticism from Ledger’s CTO and others, and attacks on other networks can bring regulatory or exchange risk. Phemex points out that a similar winning streak ending October 4, 2025 was followed by a 47.1% drop by November 3. If you want to compare it with another decentralized AI compute project, our Gensyn price prediction is a good next read.
Qubic (QUBIC) FAQ
Why did QUBIC rally in late September 2026?
QUBIC rose from a record low close around $0.37 per million on September 20 after Qubic’s all-hands recap highlighted a 0.38 ARC-AGI-3 score for Neuraxon and the launch of its Ant Colony miner. A 45% spike on September 30 had no confirmed news behind it.
What is useful proof of work?
It is Qubic’s mining model, in which miners use their computing power to train the Aigarth AI project instead of solving arbitrary puzzles. Qubic has also pointed that power at Monero and Dogecoin mining in the past.
What is QUBIC’s maximum supply?
The maximum supply is 200 trillion QUBIC after a community vote cut it from 1 quadrillion. CoinGecko counts about 143 trillion circulating, while the network itself counted about 178 trillion on September 30, 2026.
Where can I buy QUBIC?
QUBIC trades on Gate, MEXC, LBank and Bitget, mostly against USDT. Liquidity is thin, so check order book depth before buying.
