BitcoinEthereumNews.com reports that Tezos has launched Quantumnet, an experimental test network designed to defend against future quantum computers.

This initiative aims to protect the network from cryptographic vulnerabilities as quantum capabilities advance.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for XTZ, measured when this story was written up on 25 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
XTZ is trading at $0.3315 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 39.7%, indicating that buying pressure is fading compared to the 4-hour window where it stood at 44.0%. The 1-hour buy ratio dropped further to 21.6%, showing a sharp short-term shift toward selling. Volume Delta is negative across all timeframes, with -$96,277 in the last hour and -$26,439 over four hours, meaning sellers are outweighing buyers. Over the past day, cumulative volume delta closed at -$282,668, confirming that net selling has dominated the flow.
The latest daily buy ratio of 44.0% sits at the 8th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.6% - among the weakest buying days it has had.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for XTZ, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
The current 24-hour buy ratio of 39.7% is 8.2 percentage points lower than the 7-day average of 47.9%. Spot volume over the last day was $869,689, which is only 0.19 times the weekly average, signaling unusually low activity. While the price rose 30.1% over the past eight days, the recent 24-hour period shows a distinct cooling off in participation. This represents a significant deviation from the preceding week's average buying behavior.
