Quant (QNT) Price Prediction 2026-2030: Can QNT Reach $1,000?

Last Updated: October 28, 2026

Quick Answer: Quant (QNT) trades near $195 as of October 28, 2026, with a market cap of about $2.36 billion (#38 on CoinMarketCap). It is up about 182% since the end of 2025, almost all of it from a late September rally after The Clearing House, a bank-owned US payments company, chose Quant’s technology for its tokenized deposit network, but it is about 45% below its September 27 high of $357 and about 54% below its all-time high of $428.38 from September 2021. Central estimates from the two models we track put QNT between about $46 (CoinLore) and $217 (CoinCodex) at the end of 2026, and between about $112 and $345 in 2030.

Quant, also known as Quant Network, develops Overledger, software that connects blockchains with each other and with existing bank systems, and QNT is the ERC-20 utility token that customers can use to pay for its services. In 2026, The Clearing House chose Quant’s technology for its On-Chain Money Initiative, which expects its network to open to participating institutions in the first half of 2027, and banks in the UK’s Great British Tokenised Deposit (GBTD) pilots, which run on a platform developed by Quant, completed their first live customer transactions in September.

This update covers the current QNT price, the bank and central bank projects behind the rally, the QNT supply, the latest forecasts for 2026 to 2030 and 2040, and what it would take for QNT to reach $500 or $1,000.

Key Takeaways

• QNT trades about 54% below its all-time high of $428.38, set on September 11, 2021, and about 3.6 times its 2026 low of $54.01 from February 6
• The token is up about 182% since the end of 2025: it traded between about $54 and $87 until September 23, rose about 369% in September and lost about 30% in October through October 27
• The Clearing House said on September 24 that it had selected Quant to provide the interoperability, orchestration and transaction-management layer of its tokenized deposit network, expected to open to participating institutions in the first half of 2027
• In the UK, seven banks completed the first live customer transactions using tokenized sterling deposits on a platform developed by Quant, UK Finance said in September
• QNT has a fixed supply and CoinMarketCap tracks no token unlocks, but the data sites disagree on circulation: about 12.07 million QNT on CoinMarketCap and about 14.56 million on CoinGecko
• Central estimates from CoinCodex and CoinLore put QNT between about $46 and $217 at the end of 2026, and between about $112 and $345 in 2030

Quant (QNT) Key Data (October 2026)

Sources: CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko and Etherscan. CoinGecko counts about 14.56 million QNT in circulation out of a maximum of about 14.61 million, which gives a market cap of about $2.8 billion, and lists an all-time high of $427.42 and an all-time low of $0.2158. This article measures the year-to-date change from the December 31, 2025 close; CoinMarketCap’s own figure starts from the January 1 close and shows a gain of more than 150%. The fully diluted value uses CoinMarketCap’s maximum supply of about 14.88 million.

What Is Quant (QNT)?

Quant, also known as Quant Network, builds infrastructure for what it calls programmable money. Its best-known product, Overledger, is described on CoinMarketCap as an operating system for blockchains: it lets developers build multi-chain applications that work across several networks and connect them to existing systems. Quant’s website now leads with Quant Flow, which it calls “the money engine,” and Quant PayScript, a rules engine that controls how money behaves and moves. The website says Quant has “worked on the digital pound, digital euro, UK RLN and Great British Tokenised Deposits (GBTD).” Gilbert Verdian is the company’s founder and chief executive.

QNT is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum that CoinMarketCap began tracking in August 2018. Quant’s FAQ describes it as “a utility token” used “as a form of payment for Quant services”; developers and customers buy a license, but the company also accepts payment in pounds, dollars and euros. More background is available on the official Quant website.

Quant News: What Has Happened in 2026

The Clearing House launches its On-Chain Money Initiative. On June 5, The Clearing House, which operates the RTP and CHIPS payment networks, announced a bank-led initiative to clear and settle tokenized deposits between banks on-chain and connect them with RTP and CHIPS. Its announcement named 17 supporting institutions, including Bank of America, Citi, J.P. Morgan Payments and Wells Fargo, but no technology provider. QNT fell about 5% that day.

Quant selected for the US network. On September 24, The Clearing House said it had selected Quant to provide the network’s “interoperability, orchestration, and transaction-management layer.” The network “is expected to become available to participating institutions in the first half of 2027,” with details on participation and use cases to follow. Gilbert Verdian called the deal “a defining step in the global transition to programmable money.” According to CryptoSlate, neither The Clearing House nor Quant says that participating banks must acquire or hold QNT.

Live tokenized deposit pilots in the UK. UK Finance said in September that Barclays, HSBC UK, Lloyds Banking Group, Monzo, Nationwide, NatWest and Santander had completed the first live customer transactions using tokenized sterling deposits through the GBTD initiative: two remortgage completions, in which funds were locked and released automatically at completion, and a marketplace purchase. UK Finance says the GBTD platform was developed by Quant, that the Bank of England accepted GBTD into its Synchronisation Lab earlier in 2026, and that further pilots are expected to test the settlement of digital assets and bonds.

Earlier central bank work. Quant’s newsroom lists work with the BIS Innovation Hub and the Bank of England on Project Rosalind, a retail CBDC experiment, in 2023, and its selection with R3 as a technology provider for the UK’s Regulated Liability Network in 2024. The European Central Bank plans a 12-month pilot of the digital euro, another project Quant says it has worked on, from the second half of 2027; our digital euro timeline explains the plan.

The September rally. QNT rose about 28% on September 24, then about 55% on September 26 and about 87% on September 27, when its trading volume reached about $1.19 billion, roughly 100 times its average daily volume from January 1 to September 23. It hit $357.00 intraday on September 27, fell about 19% the next day and closed at $286.22 on September 30, its highest close of 2026. It has since fallen to about $195.

ETFs and name confusion. We found no filing for an exchange-traded fund dedicated to QNT on SEC EDGAR; the filings there that mention Quant Network since 2025 are registration documents filed by ProShares Trust. Separately, Quantinuum, a quantum computing company, has traded on Nasdaq under the ticker QNT since June 4, 2026. Its shares are unrelated to the Quant token.

QNT Price History

CoinMarketCap began tracking QNT on August 10, 2018, when trading was thin (about $31,000 on the first day) and CoinMarketCap showed no market cap until the end of September 2018. QNT hit its all-time low of $0.1636 on August 23, 2018, and fell to a close of $1.55 during the market crash of March 12, 2020. It rose about 16-fold in 2021, closing at $393.54 on September 10, with a market cap of about $4.75 billion, and reaching its all-time high of $428.38 intraday the next day. It then fell in three of the next four years, to $69.37 at the end of 2025.

In 2026, QNT traded between about $54 and $87 until late September. It fell about 14% on February 5, a day on which Bitcoin fell about 14%, and set its 2026 low of $54.01 early on February 6. Its highest price before the rally was $87.15 on January 19, and at its lowest close, $55.87 on August 18, it was down about 19% for the year. September brought a gain of about 369%, followed by a decline of about 30% in October through October 27, including an intraday low of $174.00 on October 24.

QNT Price Prediction 2026

With about two months left in the year, the two models we track disagree sharply: CoinCodex expects QNT to end 2026 slightly above today’s price, while CoinLore’s base case is far below it.

CoinCodex expects a December average of about $217, about 11% above today’s price; its headline target is the top of its December range. CoinLore’s base case of $45.70 would be a fall of about 77%, below QNT’s 2026 low of $54.01, while its bull case of $209.91 would be a gain of about 7%. Both pages are dated October 28 and show a price within 3% of CoinMarketCap’s.

We do not use the figures from CoinDataFlow, whose QNT table follows the same pattern as its forecasts for other coins we checked, with a jump to about 6.6 times the current price in 2029 followed by a decline in 2030; from Changelly, whose October 2026 average of $109.39 is about 45% below the $197.93 price shown on the same page; or from BeInCrypto, whose QNT page shows placeholder values such as a $0.00 conversion rate and an RSI of 0.00.

QNT trades about 17% above its 50-day moving average of $167.12 and about twice its 200-day average of $92.47, with a 14-day RSI of about 52, according to CoinCodex.

Range of central 2026 estimates: about $46 to $217.

Blockchainreporter Scenario Range for the End of 2026

Unlike the model forecasts above, this range is Blockchainreporter’s own. It shows where QNT could close on December 31, 2026 if it keeps the volatility of the past 90 days, without assuming a trend in either direction. It is a scenario range, not a price target or investment advice.

How we calculated it: QNT traded at about $202 on CoinGecko on November 5, 2026, and its daily moves over the previous 90 days imply annualized volatility of about 188%. Projecting that volatility over the 56 days to the December 31 close, with no trend, half of the modeled outcomes fall inside the base range, one in ten ends above the bull figure and one in ten ends below the bear figure. Crypto prices have fatter tails than this model assumes, so moves beyond the bear and bull figures are more likely than it suggests. Blockchainreporter’s Crypto Price Prediction Tracker records this range and will score it against CoinMarketCap’s December 31 close in January 2027.

QNT Price Prediction 2027

The central 2027 estimates range from about $55 at CoinLore to $269 at CoinCodex, a fall of about 72% or a gain of about 38%. CoinCodex’s monthly path peaks at $356.92 in July 2027, about the level of QNT’s September high, then falls to a December average of about $242. Both models are built mainly on past prices, so September’s jump weighs heavily on their results.

QNT Price Prediction 2028 and 2029

For 2028 and 2029, central estimates range from about $75 to $279. CoinLore’s base case stays below today’s price until 2032, when it reaches $216.72. Its bull case for 2029 ($634.08) is higher than its bull case for 2030 ($560.24).

QNT Price Prediction 2030

The two central estimates for 2030 point in opposite directions. CoinCodex expects about $345, a gain of about 77%, and its headline target of $339.69 sits inside its December 2030 range. CoinLore’s base case of $111.75 would be a fall of about 43%, while its bull case of $560.24 would be about 2.9 times today’s price and above QNT’s all-time high.

All forecasts are third-party model estimates, not investment advice.

QNT Price Prediction 2040

Long-range forecasts are highly speculative. CoinCodex projects about $589 by 2040, within its December 2040 range of $526.37 to $600.94 and about three times today’s price. CoinLore gives a base case of $857.48 and a bull case of $2,506, the figure its page quotes for 2040.

What Drives the QNT Price?

• Bank adoption: The Clearing House network is expected to open to participating institutions in the first half of 2027, and the GBTD banks plan further pilots for digital asset and bond settlement.
• Token demand: Quant accepts payment in pounds, dollars and euros as well as QNT, while the project description on CoinMarketCap says every client and developer must buy a license and can use QNT to pay for transactions, and that Overledger gateway operations require QNT, so it is unclear how much bank use of its software will add to demand for the token.
• Supply: the supply is fixed and CoinMarketCap tracks no unlocks, while the 10 largest addresses hold about 29% of it.
• Liquidity: 24-hour volume of about $62.6 million is about five times QNT’s average daily volume before the rally, but far below the $1.19 billion traded on September 27.
• The wider market: like most altcoins, QNT tends to move with Bitcoin, as on February 5, when both fell about 14%. Our Bitcoin price prediction covers the market leader.

Can QNT Reach $500 or $1,000?

Only on some models. CoinLore’s base case passes $500 in 2038 ($565.12) and stays below $1,000 through 2041, peaking at $857.48 in 2040; its bull cases pass $500 in 2029 and $1,000 in 2033 ($1,071). CoinCodex’s December figures stay below $400 through 2031, and its headline targets are about $589 for 2040 and $909 for 2050. QNT has never traded above $500: its highest price was $428.38 in September 2021. With about 12.07 million QNT in circulation, each price level implies a market cap that can be compared with other coins.

At $1,000, QNT’s fully diluted value would be about $14.6 billion on CoinGecko’s supply figure, or $14.9 billion on CoinMarketCap’s. Because the supply is fixed, a higher price would have to come from demand: production use of The Clearing House network, a live GBTD service and evidence that this use creates demand for QNT rather than for licenses paid in fiat currency. Quant’s market cap is already about 3.3 times that of XDC Network ($715M), another token aimed at trade finance and payments infrastructure; our XDC price prediction covers it.

Key Risks of QNT

• Post-rally swings: QNT fell about 45% from its September 27 high within a month, including drops of about 19% on September 28 and 15% on October 1
• Unclear token role: Quant accepts fiat payments, and, according to CryptoSlate, neither The Clearing House nor Quant says banks must hold QNT
• Timing: The Clearing House network is not expected to open before the first half of 2027, and the GBTD transactions were pilots, not a live service
• Data gaps: CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko disagree on the circulating supply (about 12.07 million vs 14.56 million) and the maximum (about 14.88 million vs 14.61 million)
• Concentration: the 10 largest addresses hold about 29% of the supply, according to CoinMarketCap
• Name confusion: Quantinuum shares trade under the ticker QNT on Nasdaq, and several unrelated tokens use the name Quant
• Model limits: the central 2026 estimates range from a fall of about 77% to a gain of about 11%

Where to Buy QNT

QNT has spot markets on major exchanges including Binance (QNT/USDT), Coinbase (QNT/USD), Kraken (QNT/USD and QNT/EUR), Bybit, KuCoin, Gate, Crypto.com, Gemini, Bitstamp and Bitvavo, according to CoinMarketCap’s market data on October 28, and Revolut lists QNT in the UK. Binance’s QNT/USDT and Coinbase’s QNT/USD were the most active of these markets that day. Our searches found no 2026 delisting notice or monitoring tag for QNT from Binance, Coinbase or Kraken. Availability depends on your country, so check what each platform offers where you live. Our guide to the best crypto exchanges compares fees and features.

QNT is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, and CoinMarketCap also lists a QNT contract on Solana, so check which network an exchange uses before withdrawing, and confirm the contract address, since several unrelated tokens use the name Quant. Our crypto wallets guide explains the trade-offs between wallet types. Before acting on claims about new bank partnerships, check them against primary sources such as announcements by The Clearing House, UK Finance or Quant; our guide on how to verify crypto news and rumors explains how.

Is Quant (QNT) a Good Investment?

That depends on your view of Quant’s business, whether bank adoption turns into demand for the token and your tolerance for risk. The bull case rests on Quant’s selection by The Clearing House, the live GBTD pilots with seven UK banks, its record of central bank projects, a fixed supply and listings on Binance, Coinbase and Kraken. The bear case is that banks may be able to use Quant’s software without holding QNT, the US network is expected to become available in the first half of 2027, the token fell about 45% within a month of its September high and CoinLore’s central estimates stay below today’s price until 2032.

Further losses are possible. The progress of The Clearing House network and the GBTD pilots, any evidence on how QNT is used, exchange decisions and the wider crypto market are the main known factors that could affect QNT over the next year.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Quant price prediction for 2026 and 2030?
Central estimates from the two models we track put QNT between about $46 (CoinLore) and $217 (CoinCodex) at the end of 2026, against a late October price of about $195. For 2030, CoinCodex expects about $345, a gain of roughly 77%, while CoinLore’s base case is $112, about 43% lower. CoinLore’s bull case for 2030 is $560.

Why did QNT go up in September 2026?
QNT rose about 369% in September, most of it after September 24, when The Clearing House, a bank-owned US payments company, chose Quant to provide the interoperability layer of its tokenized deposit network. The same day, UK Finance said seven banks had completed live tokenized deposit transactions on a platform developed by Quant. QNT hit $357 on September 27, then fell back.

What is Quant Network and what is Overledger?
Quant, also called Quant Network, builds software that connects blockchains with each other and with existing bank systems. Overledger, its best-known product, lets developers build applications that work across several blockchains. Quant now also markets Quant Flow and the PayScript rules engine for programmable money, and says it has worked on the digital pound, the digital euro and UK tokenized deposit projects.

Do banks need QNT to use Quant’s technology?
Not necessarily. Quant’s FAQ says QNT is a utility token used to pay for its services, but the company also accepts payment in pounds, dollars and euros. According to CryptoSlate, neither The Clearing House nor Quant says banks in the new US network must acquire or hold QNT. Whether bank adoption creates lasting demand for the token remains an open question.

How many QNT tokens are there?
QNT has a fixed supply, and CoinMarketCap tracks no token unlocks. CoinMarketCap counts about 12.07 million QNT in circulation out of a maximum of about 14.88 million, while CoinGecko counts about 14.56 million in circulation out of about 14.61 million. Quant burned the unsold tokens from its 2018 token sale on September 14, 2018, according to Blockworks.

Can QNT reach $1,000?
Not on the central estimates of the models we track: CoinLore’s highest base case is $857 in 2040, and CoinCodex expects about $909 by 2050. Only CoinLore’s bull cases pass $1,000, starting in 2033. With about 12.07 million QNT in circulation, $1,000 would mean a market cap of about $12.1 billion, roughly five times today’s and above Chainlink’s.

Is QNT the same as Quantinuum stock?
No. Quantinuum, a quantum computing company, began trading on Nasdaq on June 4, 2026 under the ticker QNT, which is also the symbol of the Quant token, but the two are unrelated. Several other crypto tokens also use the name Quant, so check that a price page or exchange listing refers to Quant Network’s QNT and its official Ethereum contract.

Is Quant a good investment?
That depends on your risk tolerance and view of Quant’s business. Supporters point to its selection by The Clearing House, the live UK tokenized deposit pilots and a fixed supply. Critics note that neither The Clearing House nor Quant says banks must hold QNT, the US network is expected to become available in the first half of 2027 and QNT fell about 45% within a month of its high.

Where can I buy QNT?
QNT trades on major exchanges including Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, Bybit, KuCoin, Crypto.com, Gemini and Bitvavo, and Revolut lists it in the UK. Availability depends on your country, so check each platform’s supported assets before buying. QNT is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, so confirm the contract address and the network before withdrawing it to a wallet.
