JPMorgan enters blockchain settlements. The token grew on its own – Bitcoin.pl

Key conclusions

  • The clearing house of the largest US banks has chosen the technology of the British company Quant for the settlement network in tokenized deposits. The chamber’s systems pass through more than $2 trillion a day.
  • The price of the QNT token from the same company increased several times in a week, and neither of the two announcements about the contract mentions the name of the token even once.
  • The document submitted by the company in July clearly states that the token does not give the right to dividends, interest or revenue.


If you looked at the top gainers list over the weekend, you saw QNT there. At the peak of the week, the token reached $373, close to the 2021 record. The reason is true and is stated in two communications of September 24. I’ve read both and both are missing the same thing.

What was signed by the clearing house of the largest banks

The Clearing House is a clearing company owned by seven banks, including JPMorgan, Citigroup and Wells Fargo. The chamber’s announcement states that it has chosen the technology of Quant for the new settlement network in tokenized deposits. The layer is supposed to combine settlements and come to terms with the two systems that the chamber has been running for years. Launch is scheduled for the first half of 2027.

On the same day, seven British banks settled the first interbank customer transactions in tokenized pounds. These include Barclays, HSBC and NatWest. One of the transactions is the settlement of a mortgage refinancing, and the platform was built by the same company.

Does this mean that the contract is crap? NO. An institution that spends over $2 trillion a day does not take the technology from the announcement.

Is there a QNT token in the contract?

He’s gone. Neither the chamber’s announcement nor the company’s announcement mentions the name QNT even once. The agreement concerns the technology of Quant Network Ltd, a private company from Great Britain. Describes the software layer, not the asset.

One number is circulating on industry websites and is not available in the source. BeInCrypto and FXStreet write about twenty-five banks participating in this network. The chamber’s announcement does not include a single participant’s name, only a sentence about financial institutions of all sizes.

Banks that can be mentioned by name are co-owners of the chamber. The list of those registered for the new network does not exist publicly.

What does this token give to the holder according to the company itself?

My interpretation is no longer needed here, because the company described it itself. The document about the token filed in July states that QNT does not give the right to dividends or interest and does not have any influence on the organization of the company. The supply is closed at 14,612,493 tokens, and the company holds approximately 68,000 of them.

So where is the demand for this token coming from? From the license. The fee for Overledger is one hundred pounds per year per client, payable in QNT. One hundred pounds a year. In addition, there is the announced role of the token in the company’s roll-up, where it is to pay for the execution of transactions, but this part is not yet used in any banking contract.

Revenues from the contract go to the company. Nothing goes to the token holder, and the company itself writes this in its own document.

What does this mean for you

A company’s contract and the demand for its token are two separate things. By purchasing QNT after this week, you are buying a bet that the licenses will one day catch up with the valuation. You’re not buying a share of $2 trillion a day. It’s a bit like buying shares in a company that cleans a bank’s office building and hoping that you will make money from the bank’s turnover. This bet may work out for you. It is not the same as what the market thinks it is.

OKX deposit

Check what exactly you are holding, because the numbers about this company are circulating on the Internet in incorrect versions. A tokenomics audit from 8Blocks reports that the company holds 65 percent of the supply in vault. In the company’s document, the same number describes the tranche burned in 2018. The audit mistook burn for stock, and the number was lost.

The market has already priced such a contract as the demand for a token, when the New York Stock Exchange boasted about a blockchain test. Back then, the rate was twenty percent a day. Now several hundred a week, with exchange rate readings that differ between websites by several dozen dollars at the same hour.

In the company’s December 2021 announcement, the license fee is one hundred pounds per year. No one has added a new amount under this sentence this week.
