Quant’s native token QNT climbed 18.7% in 24 hours to trade between roughly $216 and $220, after rising from about $181 to an intraday high near $221–$223. The move lifted Quant’s market cap to $3.16 billion, with daily trading volume around $146.5 million. Over the past 30 days, QNT has gained roughly 93.8%, while its one-year gain stands at about 150.7%, even though the seven-day increase was a more modest 2.9%.
From a technical perspective, analyst Michaël van de Poppe noted that QNT’s earlier impulse from around $60 to above $300 took less than three days, so a longer consolidation was normal. The token fell back into the $170–$180 zone, found support, and bounced toward $225. Van de Poppe said he wants to see $200 hold as support, with immediate resistance at $223–$227 and a potential continuation target near $284–$285. Momentum indicators have also improved, with MACD turning positive and RSI recovering from weaker October levels.
Part of the renewed attention came from viral social media claims that Japan could launch a stablecoin using Quant technology and that Quant was joining SWIFT’s cross-border payments ecosystem. Those specific claims have not been officially confirmed by Quant, Japanese authorities, or SWIFT. Confirmed catalysts include Quant’s earlier partnership with Dentsu Soken to help Japanese financial institutions adopt tokenized deposits and programmable money, and the selection of Quant by The Clearing House to provide interoperability infrastructure for the U.S. tokenized deposit network. The Clearing House initiative reportedly involves 25 major U.S. banks and has a launch target of 2027, while The Clearing House’s payment systems process more than $2 trillion per day.
