cvj.ai reports that Quant (QNT) rallied nearly 400% after The Clearing House selected it to power its On-Chain Money Initiative. The partnership aims to help financial institutions clear and settle transactions involving tokenized deposits using networks that process over $2 trillion daily. QNT’s price climbed from $74 to $357 in less than a week before pulling back to $241, driven by an institutional-use narrative.
Whale activity hit record levels on September 28th, with 645 transactions worth at least $100,000 recorded. On-chain metrics showed a delayed reaction, with new addresses jumping from 351 on the announcement day to 7,516 by September 27. Active addresses similarly rose from 2,064 to 14,458 over that same period, indicating growing adoption.
Open interest exploded, increasing almost nine times in dollar terms between September 23 and 27. Despite the surge, the RSI briefly neared 100 before settling around 74, signaling overbought conditions. Trader Doctor Profit noted the high funding rate and decided to lock in gains rather than hold. Santiment suggested that cooling prices and consolidation would create a healthier setup than another straight-line surge.
