Quant has seen a price increase of over 50% in the past 24 hours, rising from around $170 to above $260, with the upward trend accelerating and forming an important breakthrough. Over the past week, the token has accumulated a gain of more than 300%, and its market value has also expanded significantly with the surge in trading activity. This rise is related to new institutional progress of Quant in tokenization infrastructure.
At the same time, the 24-hour trading volume also soared above $1 billion, and derivative activities and short liquidations further enhanced the upward momentum. As the price of QNT approaches the $300 resistance level, traders are watching to see if this breakout can continue into the fourth quarter of 2026.
Why has the price of Quant ( QNT ) risen?
The main catalyst driving this round of increase is its growing role in institutional tokenization, especially after on September 24th, The Clearing House chose Quant to support its on-chain Money initiative. This project is an interoperable network designed to tokenize deposits for financial institutions for clearing and settlement purposes. In addition, seven major British banks, including Barclays, HSBC UK, Lloyds, and Santander, have completed real-time transactions using tokenized pound sterling deposits through the infrastructure built by Quant.
The fundamental catalysts have been amplified by a sharp increase in market activity. The trading volume of QNT has risen above $1 billion, and the number of open contracts has also expanded rapidly. Meanwhile, in the past 24 hours, approximately $17.2 million in short positions were liquidated, creating pressure for forced buying and accelerating the breakout. The progress of institutional tokenization, the surge in trading volume, and the short squeeze driven by derivatives have collectively turned QNT's initial re-pricing into a rise of over 50%.
QNT Can the price hold above the $300 breakthrough?
In addition, liquidations have also significantly increased, indicating that this round of market activity has forced a large number of leveraged traders to exit the market. The futures CVD price has risen to 10.37K, showing active buying in the derivatives market; however, the spot CVD price is still deeply negative at -68.48K. If the spot CVD price strengthens and begins to confirm the trend of the futures market, it will more strongly indicate that this breakthrough is supported by real spot demand.
Conclusion – Will the price of Quant set a new historical high above $500 in 2026?
