Quant's share price soared due to clearinghouse partnership

$QNT surged 30% to US$241.83 in 24 hours, with trading volume reaching US$1.54 billion, and the weekly gain widened to 262%. The catalyst for this trend was a high-profile announcement on Thursday: The Clearing House selected programmable currency infrastructure provider Quant to provide technical support for its On-Chain Money Initiative, a new interoperable payment network for U.S. banks.

Quant will provide interoperability, orchestration and transaction management layers, connecting the network to existing fiat channels such as RTP and CHIPS. The plan aims to create new opportunities for corporate treasury management, liquidity management, cross-border payments and digital asset settlement. For banks that do not have their own tokenized deposit capabilities, Quant has also contracted to provide commercial banking-side solutions through its "Tokenised Deposits-as-a-Service" product. The network of clearing houses clears and settles more than $2 trillion in transactions every day, putting the partnership at the heart of the U.S. banking system.

The network is expected to be open to participating institutions in the first half of 2027, and as development progresses, more details on participation methods and use cases will be announced.

Hedera follows the trend

$HBAR 紧随其后，在同一24小时窗口内上涨26%，达到0.1202美元。其日交易量激增超过14倍至11.8亿美元，市值升至52.6亿美元。主要催化剂是9月23日瑞士 Hashgraph Group 发布的一则公告，称其基于 Hedera 构建的 IDTrust 身份平台已获得 IBM 验证，并列入 IBM Cloud Catalog。Hashgraph Group 还获得了 IBM 银牌合作伙伴地位，并签署了涵盖 IBM Cloud 和 AI 技术的全球嵌入式解决方案协议，使 Hedera 与全球最大的企业技术生态系统之一建立了商业联系。

在市场整体艰难的一天中，这两枚代币脱颖而出，成为市值前100大加密货币中的表现最佳者。据 CoinMarketCap 数据，比特币下跌1.7%，加密市场总市值下滑1.7%至2.86万亿美元。
