On October 22, 2026 (UTC), QTC went from about $0.000868 to $0.000764 (-11.95%) on Gate · USDT, trading between $0.00076 and $0.000879. For the closed-hour 24h window: QTC's move differs substantially from its BTC-based estimate; the cause is unresolved. QTC fell further than this on 7 of the past 29 days. Quantus moved down on a day when most other tracked coins also fell, but it left a large residual after the comparison with Bitcoin, so the move is larger than its usual day and the coin-specific part is not explained. Trading volume was below usual across the venues where it trades. No recent report about Quantus explains the decline, so the cause is unresolved. - Day open / close: $0.000868 → $0.000764 (24 hourly candles, Gate · USDT) - Day range: $0.00076 – $0.000879 - Versus Bitcoin: -11.95% / BTC -3.19%; -13.6 pts left after BTC × its hourly beta -0.51 - Versus the past month: 7 of the past 29 days fell further; Closed-hour 24h move -11.95%, 2.5× its prior 30-day median of 4.8%. - 30-day range: 89.1% below the high · 0.5% above the low; From hourly highs and lows on the same venue - Other tracked coins: 11 of 16 moved the same way; 1 moved the other way - 24h volume: 0.5×; of its prior 30-day daily average - Where it traded: Near Intents 56% · Rhea Finance 27% · BigONE 13% Computed from Gate · USDT hourly candles for the 24 hours to 23/10/2026, 00:00 UTC. ## Still open - What specific development, if any, prompted the larger-than-usual decline in Quantus — an official project statement, a filing, or an exchange notice would settle it. - Whether the residual reflects coin-specific selling or conditions in its main trading venues — on-chain pool data or exchange order-flow disclosures would settle it. - Whether any listing change, unlock or treasury action occurred — an exchange notice or on-chain transaction data would settle it.
