Interviews

About B-Cube.ai
In June 2021, GAINS Associates’s Alexandre Raffin interviewed Venkatesha about B-Cube.ai, an AI-driven crypto trading platform offering bots for both centralized and decentralized exchanges. B-Cube's bots are proprietary, developed in-house, and available to the public since October 2019. They were initially free before becoming automated in March 2020. The platform focuses on providing high-performance bots, including a standout called the Bulls and Bears Altcoin Bot, with a historical return of over 1,100%. B-Cube emphasizes education through webinars and offers a staking system with their native token for accessing bots and educational content. They implement risk management systems to prevent significant losses by setting stop-loss orders. The company aims to expand into DeFi solutions and plans to release new products, including a DEX trading bot and branded e-bikes for promotional purposes. [6]
Panels
AI and Trading
At ETH Rio 24, Venkatesha presented the capabilities and limitations of AI in trading, emphasizing the importance of realistic expectations. He explained that while AI-driven platforms like B-Cube analyzed large amounts of data rapidly, recognized patterns, and made autonomous trading decisions, they could not guarantee returns due to market unpredictability. He highlighted common misconceptions, such as promises of consistent returns and the misuse of backtesting data, warning that such claims were often misleading. Venkatesha also critiqued the trend of companies falsely branding themselves as AI-driven without substantial evidence. B-Cube aimed to provide autonomous trading, focusing on adaptability and consistency, using a proprietary AI system that dynamically selected and executed strategies based on real-time market conditions. He concluded by detailing B-Cube's institutional-grade capabilities, regulatory compliance, and the company's growth and achievements in AI and trading. [7]
