coinfanatic.com reports that QuantusNetwork has launched its post-quantum asset, $QTC, on the NEAR Protocol. This launch marks a strategic integration designed to enhance blockchain security through quantum-safe signing capabilities. The new asset aims to provide confidentiality in digital transactions and future-proof the network against advancing quantum computing threats.
NEAR Protocol’s collaboration with QuantusNetwork highlights a commitment to adopting innovative security measures. This move positions NEAR as a leader in integrating quantum-resistant technology into its ecosystem. The introduction of $QTC is intended to address emerging security risks posed by traditional blockchain measures.
As quantum computing capabilities advance, the demand for such quantum-safe solutions is expected to rise. The launch serves as a pivotal step in protecting digital assets from potential future vulnerabilities. This development may influence how other blockchain networks approach security in the evolving technological landscape. Traders are monitoring the market reception to see if $QTC sets a precedent for other networks.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for NEAR, measured when this story was written up on 6 October 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
NEAR Protocol is currently trading at $5.29 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 53.5%, indicating that buyers are slightly more active than sellers in the short term. This buying pressure is consistent with the 4-hour buy ratio of 52.8%, suggesting that the upward momentum is holding steady rather than fading. Over the last 24 hours, the buy ratio stands at 51.0%, showing a balanced but slightly bullish sentiment among spot traders. The volume delta for the 1-hour period is positive at $159,289, meaning more money flowed into buys than sells during that hour. Similarly, the 4-hour volume delta is +$831,631, reinforcing that buying activity is outpacing selling in the near term. The cumulative volume delta for the 24-hour period is +$3,152,470, confirming that net buying has been the dominant force over the last day.
The latest daily buy ratio of 50.8% sits at the 68th percentile of the last 323 days, against a median of 49.7% - ordinary for this coin.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for NEAR, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, NEAR saw a 7-day average buy ratio of 48.8%, making today’s 24-hour ratio of 51.0% a slightly more bullish day than the weekly norm. The volume delta for the 8-day period was -$43,950,336, indicating that net selling pressure has been the dominant trend over the longer timeframe compared to today’s net buying. This contrast highlights that while the weekly trend has been bearish, the immediate flow has shifted toward accumulation. The price has risen 9.8% over the 8-day period, showing resilience despite the overall negative volume delta. This suggests that recent buying activity is helping to stabilize or lift the price against a backdrop of previous outflows.
