Quant ($QNT) has been quietly strengthening its position in the blockchain ecosystem. Trading at $104.91 with a 1.4% gain in the past 24 hours, the project carries a market cap of $1.5 billion.

Recent technical updates, upcoming industry engagements, and new interoperability frameworks are shaping investor interest and institutional adoption prospects.

Quant Advances Fusion Devnet, Targets Banks with Interoperability Push

Quant recently confirmed the successful testing of its open-source connector specification, which is a technical update for its Fusion Devnet.

These connectors were developed for major blockchain ecosystems like Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), Hedera, and Sui networks, allowing seamless integration with Quant’s unique Layer 2.5 architecture.

This architecture enables different blockchains to communicate and transact efficiently. The team is currently working on automating connector deployment within Fusion, which would streamline network expansion and user onboarding.

This advancement directly targets banks and large institutions, a core market for Quant.

Since $QNT tokens are required for both transaction fees and staking, institutional use could generate consistent buy pressure as organizations lock tokens to access the network. If adoption scales, this mechanism may gradually tighten supply while reinforcing $QNT’s long-term value.

Quant confirmed participation at Sibos 2025, where it will showcase its programmable settlement infrastructure to highlight how European banks can transition from legacy payment systems into tokenized markets.

Direct interaction with decision-makers as banks, payment providers, and regulators may significantly increase Quant’s chances of accelerating real-world adoption, especially for central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and institutional digital assets.

On the product front, Quant has launched the Overledger Fusion, a framework designed to facilitate interoperable stablecoin issuance across blockchains.

CEO Gilbert Verdian emphasized that the rollout will be phased, starting with foundational infrastructure that ensures secure asset movement before expanding into advanced applications. This phased approach reflects Quant’s strategy of building trust with institutions, focusing first on reliability before scaling features.

Looking ahead, the launch of the Fusion Mainnet will be pivotal. It aims to support cross-chain transactions with real-world assets while introducing $QNT staking through the Trusted Node Program.

Staking rewards will incentivize users to secure the network, while a reduced circulating supply could positively impact token valuation. However, competition from interoperability leaders like Polkadot and Cosmos could present challenges.

$QNT Attempts Recovery, But Bears Still Lurk Near Key Resistance Levels

After hitting a local low around $100, $QNT is attempting a rebound, closing near $104.68 on the 4-hour chart.

The bounce comes amid modest signs of accumulation pressure, but the rally is not yet convincing—especially as price action approaches a band of moving average resistances and struggles to build sustainable momentum.

The 20, 50, and 100-period SMAs are closely stacked overhead at $105.34, $105.92, and $108.81, respectively.

This tight cluster of moving averages forms a technical ceiling that $QNT must decisively clear to signal a meaningful trend reversal. Their current downward slope indicates that $QNT remains in a broader bearish regime, and any break above these levels will require a strong impulse—likely through volume expansion and buyer dominance.

From a lower timeframe volume footprint (15-min), the recovery push was met with mixed absorption.

While several clusters saw aggressive buyers stepping in above 104.80, sellers consistently countered with sizable ask pressure, particularly at $105.00 and $105.20.

Most recent deltas showed little net advantage to either side, but total volume has been thinning, suggesting a wait-and-see mode among market participants.

This hesitation is echoed in the derivatives landscape.

According to Coinglass data, 24-hour volume dropped sharply by over 33%, and open interest dipped slightly (-1.57%) to $26.27M, indicating a lack of new capital commitment.

The long/short ratio remains close to neutral at 0.96, while the funding rate is just above zero, neither strongly favoring bulls nor bears. What’s notable, however, is that top trader positioning on Binance shows a tilt toward longs, perhaps anticipating continuation if price manages to clear the $106–$108 band.

For now, momentum indicators like RSI (47.99) and MACD (still below the zero line) reflect a market that’s trying to lift itself but hasn’t yet flipped the structure. A close above the 100-SMA would add conviction, but unless volume re-accelerates and the footprint shows persistent bid aggression, $QNT remains at risk of another rejection from the moving average cluster.

Widely followed quant analyst PlanB is taking an opposing view to most traders about the chances of Bitcoin (BTC) reaching $300,000.

In a new strategy session, pseudonymous BTC analyst PlanB tells his 216,000 YouTube subscribers that while most market participants don’t expect BTC to reach $300,000 by the end of 2026, he does.

“Now, 60% of people think that Bitcoin will not reach $300,000 by the end of 2026 – that’s this line, one and a half years from now. So, by the end of next year, this is the $300,000 point. Sixty percent of people think we’re not going to get there. In my opinion, we will. In fact, I think we’ll go a little higher, to the stock-to-flow target of $500,000 on average.

That’s a very rough model, of course, based on scarcity and the stock-to-flow ratio. It has a range of $250,000 to $1 million, so the average could be $300,000 or $600,000. That’s all good, but at the very least, it will be higher than what most people think.”

The stock-to-flow model is a predictive tool that assumes the scarcity of a commodity drives the price. While originally created to track traditional commodities, PlanB was the first to apply it to Bitcoin.

The analyst is also watching Bitcoin’s realized price indicator, which looks at what price certain cohorts of coins were last transacted on-chain, divided by the number of bitcoins in circulation. Given that the price of BTC is above all the major cohorts, PlanB says there are no signs of a bear market to be seen.

“Now, that’s classic bull market behavior, right? You can see that in all bull markets – the 2-year is above the realized, the 6-month is above the 2-year, and then Bitcoin, represented by the red dots, is above them all.

So there’s no bear market warning signs whatsoever.”

BTC is worth $115,043 at time of writing, up 1% on the day.

Sina—co-founder of the hedge fund 21st Capital—publicly dismantled a popular Bitcoin price model promoted by Real Vision CEO Raoul Pal, calling it a textbook case of data illiteracy and overfitting.

The model in question draws a close correlation between Bitcoin and Global M2—a measure of global money supply—by shifting M2 data forward by a set number of weeks, typically 10 to 12, to supposedly “predict” Bitcoin’s future price moves. Raoul Pal has used this chart to argue that macro liquidity conditions drive crypto cycles, and that the current market behavior can be forecast using monetary expansion.

Expert Torches M2-Bitcoin Correlation

But Sina, a trained data scientist who teaches data analytics at the undergraduate and graduate level, says this model collapses under scrutiny. “This is a terrible failure of not understanding overfitting,” he said in a June 24 video posted to X. “What I’m seeing doesn’t even pass the first month of a first-year data analytics course.”

Related Reading

Sina points out that the apparent correlation between Bitcoin and Global M2 only exists because the data has been “tortured” to fit historical patterns. “If I’m allowed to play with the data and arbitrarily move things around, I can definitely find great matches between pockets of data,” he said, warning that this flexibility is exactly what allows analysts to create the illusion of predictive accuracy.

The primary issue, he explained, is that the Global M2 data itself is inherently flawed. It’s compiled by multiplying various central banks’ M2 figures by exchange rates—mixing fast-reporting economies like the US with countries that have data delays of weeks or even months. This creates a misleading impression of daily fluctuations in global liquidity. “It seems to be moving on a daily basis, but it’s actually mixing frequent and infrequent updates,” Sina said. “It’s not a true signal.”

More importantly, Sina argues that the model fails the moment one zooms out from selective chart slices. While Raoul Pal and others have showcased examples of tightly aligned tops and bottoms between Bitcoin and Global M2, Sina demonstrated how minor tweaks in lead time or scale can yield dramatically different outcomes. “Let’s try a lead of 80 days. That doesn’t look good. What about 108? Ah, now the tops align—so let’s zoom in again and pretend it works,” he said sarcastically. “This is not modeling. This is playing.”

He highlighted how each adjustment to the model—shifting from a 12-week lead to 10 weeks, to 108 days—exposes its lack of systematic foundation. “If you don’t have a proper model, you fail to predict the future,” Sina said. “This is classic overfitting. You force the data to match historical behavior, but you lose any generalizability.”

To illustrate the concept, Sina compared it to fitting a curve through a noisy sine wave. A well-structured model captures the core pattern and ignores noise. An overfit model, by contrast, attempts to match every small fluctuation—resulting in poor predictive performance when new data arrives. “Overfitting looks better, but it models noise. And noise doesn’t repeat,” he said.

Sina also questioned whether Bitcoin might actually lead liquidity, not follow it. “If you look at the last cycle, Bitcoin topped first. Liquidity topped 145 days later,” he said. This reverses the causality implied by the Global M2 model and calls into question its entire premise as a forward-looking tool.

His conclusion was blunt: “You have to be very careful with overfitting. It looks matching, but it’s forcibly fit on historical data. You have no idea about the predictive accuracy of this thing.”

At press time, Bitcoin traded at $106,952.

The Quant (QNT) Crypto sits nicely, just over $120. But the big question is whether it will destroy more than $200 by the end of the month.

For $122, there’s a way to go to QNT Crypto. Another 63% leap has reached $200. It didn’t go up to over $400 like asking for it within three weeks, like a lot, so big moves aren’t a problem, but the timing for this sprint is tough.

Will QNT Crypto break $200 by the end of June?

QNT shows consistent crypto growth, up over 60% over the last 12 months, ranging from the low of $75 to the current $120 range. The all-time high of $427.42 indicates the potential of a major pump. However, achieving a 63% increase in under three weeks requires exceptional market momentum and does not fully support the current trends.

Recent forecasts show that QNT reached $139 by June 13th, up to $155 by the end of June. If these numbers are met, they reflect an increase of 13-26% and fail to meet the $200 target. Breakouts above $150 could show very bullish momentum, but current analysis predicts ceiling lows below $200 in June, with the exception of unexpected catalysts.

Recent development, market sentiment, and the impact of technical indicators

QNT’s choice as a pioneer partner in the European Central Bank’s digital euro project will strengthen the long-term outlook. The partnership has driven a price increase of over $115 from $98 last month. However, the short-term goal of reaching $200 remains limited without major surprises like announcements and milestones.

Market highlights Ethereum, Solana and Sui as strong candidates for the June profit, particularly with technical setup and network development. QNT is fundamentally healthy, but is not cited very often in the case of short-term outperformance. That steady growth will result in a reliable long-term holding, but may not lead the pack in June.

The QNT Relative Strength Index (RSI) is also hovering at 65, but still closed to overselling levels, but is considered neutral momentum in the crypto. While there is actually room for upward movement at current RSI levels, no immediate signs of breakouts are expected.

(Qntrsi))

Interest in QNT in online discussions is also moderate compared to other altcoins. This again shows the lack of immediate hype needed for a rapid 60% meeting.

QNT may not reach $200 this month, but as shown over the past year, there is a possibility of stable profits. QNT’s role in the Digital Euro Project also supports long-term value.

QNT is one of the crypto coins you can watch.

Quant analyst PlanB is leaning bullish on Bitcoin (BTC) as the flagship crypto asset trades in a range below the all-time high reached late last month.

In a new strategy session, PlanB tells his 213,000 YouTube subscribers that Bitcoin is far away from reaching the peak of the current four-year cycle based on the stock-to-flow model.

The stock-to-flow model is a predictive tool that assumes the scarcity of a commodity drives the price.

“Bitcoin price [is] at $104,000, which is still far away from the stock-to-flow value of $500,000 based on fundamentals, scarcity fundamentals. That’s what I expect the average over this four-year cycle to be. So we’re still far away from that. But we’re also still only one year in the cycle, we have three years to go and so I think Bitcoin is very undervalued.”

According to Plan B, Bitcoin is at the “very beginning of a bull market” based on historical precedent.

“We made a fake loop in bull market territory after the January 2024 [spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds] ETF introductions. And we’re now right back at where all the bull markets in the past have started. So it’s a very bullish signal if you ask me.”

The quant analyst says Bitcoin could skyrocket by up to approximately 860% over the course of the current cycle.

“[Bitcoin] is currently in a bull market, targeting… let’s say $250,000 to $1 million range for the average price in this cycle.”

Bitcoin is trading at $104,300 at time of writing.

On-chain data shows the Bitcoin Apparent Demand metric has been recovering recently, but a trend of reversal hasn’t been confirmed yet.

Bitcoin Apparent Demand Rising, But Still Remains Negative

In a CryptoQuant Quicktake post, an analyst has talked about the latest trend in the Apparent Demand of Bitcoin. The “Apparent Demand” here refers to an on-chain indicator that measures, as its name suggests, the demand of BTC by comparing its production and inventory change.

The only way to ‘mint’ more of the cryptocurrency is by solving blocks on the network and receiving block subsidy as compensation, so the production of the asset is equated to the amount that the miners are receiving in rewards every day, formally known as the issuance.

For gauging the inventory of BTC, the 1-year+ dormant supply is used. The change in the inventory, therefore, would be the changes happening in this part of the cryptocurrency’s supply.

When the value of the Apparent Demand is positive, it means BTC’s inventory is seeing a larger decrease than its production. This kind of trend signals that there is demand present for the asset that’s pulling coins out of the inventory. On the other hand, the metric being under zero suggests coins are being stashed away in the inventory, potentially because of low demand.

Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the 30-day sum of the Bitcoin Apparent Demand over the past year:

The value of the metric appears to have been negative in recent weeks | Source: CryptoQuant

As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin Apparent Demand rose to sharp positive levels during the last couple of months of 2024, signaling strong demand, but this year, the trend has noted a shift.

During January and February, demand waned, but still remained at positive levels. This changed in March, when it took a dive into negative territory. This month, the metric appears to have undergone another change in direction as it’s now on the rise again.

While this could be an early sign that there is a shift occurring in market behavior, the quant has warned, “interpreting this as the beginning of a new bullish phase may be premature.”

Something that could add credence to the idea that this may not be a shift away from a bearish trajectory at all is the trend followed back in the 2021 cycle.

A zoomed out view of the Apparent Demand | Source: CryptoQuant

From the chart, it’s visible that the Bitcoin Apparent Demand turned negative as the 2021 bull market topped out. After forming a bottom in January 2022, though, the indicator showed a reversal and by the middle of the year, it recovered all the way back into the positive zone.

But clearly, while the metric may have displayed this trend, the cryptocurrency was still in the clutches of a bear market, which was only pulling its price deeper. “So while this current bounce is noteworthy, it’s more likely a pause in pressure, not a definitive signal of accumulation or a macro bottom,” notes the analyst.

BTC Price

Unlike the earlier rebounds, the latest Bitcoin recovery has shown staying power so far as the coin’s price is still floating around $85,000.
