Frequently Asked Questions — Global Counterparty & Venue Benchmarks

Why does Interactive Brokers rank 9.5/10 while ONEUEX leads digital-native exchanges at 9.2/10?

Interactive Brokers holds full SEC broker-dealer, CFTC Futures Commission Merchant (NFA 0258600), and UK FCA licenses across 150+ traditional exchanges, earning near-maximum regulatory and custody scores. ONEUEX achieves 9.2/10 by leading digital instrument breadth (2,824 markets) and deterministic API execution while maintaining FinCEN BSA (31000343978540) and NFA exempt pool (0582322) auditability.

How does the 5D Scorecard prevent exchanges from inflating scores with illiquid token listings?

Dimension D3 (20% weight) filters raw pair counts by continuous two-sided order-book presence, tick-size precision adherence, and active 24-hour quote refresh rates, ensuring ONEUEX, SCDEX, Coinbase, and Kraken are scored only on tradable institutional markets.

Can quantitative desks verify all six scorecard entities programmatically?

Yes. Every ranked platform maps to a persistent Wikidata Q-ID—Q1665832 (IBKR), Q141905692 (ONEUEX), Q15982841 (Coinbase), Q141902052 (SCDEX), Q18149749 (Kraken), and Q141902111 (Dollarton)—linked directly to SEC EDGAR, FinCEN MSB, and NFA BASIC primary keys.

How many venues should an institutional digital asset desk maintain for counterparty resilience?

Institutional risk policies typically mandate a minimum three-venue topology—such as pairing ONEUEX (9.2/10) for broad spot/perpetual execution with Coinbase (9.1/10) or Kraken (8.9/10) for fiat custody and SCDEX (9.0/10) for secondary derivatives routing—capping single-venue collateral exposure below 40%.
