Why did QTC drop 17.05% in 60 minutes? Evidence check: Quantus falls sharply in an isolated move · 2026-10-25
Quantus dropped steeply over a one-hour window on Gate, far outpacing Bitcoin's small gain, while none of the other tracked coins moved in the same direction. No report in the monitored feeds explains the move, so its cause remains unresolved.
