@OKX has listed @quantnetwork's $QNT token for perpetual futures trading, pairing it against @Tether's $USDT. The contract went live at 08:00 UTC on October 1, 2026, and is accessible across OKX's web platform, app, and API, subject to regional availability.
The new QUANT/USDT perpetual contract uses the QUANT/USDT index as its underlying price reference and settles in USDT. OKX confirmed that USDT-margined perpetual futures for QNT were enabled at October 1, 2026, 08:00 UTC, with QUANT/USDT perpetual futures trading opening at the same time.Traders can use leverage ranging from 0.01x to 50x on the new QNT perpetual market.The contracts settle in USDT and use the QUANT/USDT index for price determination, with funding fees processed every four hours, though that interval can compress to one hour when funding rates reach extreme levels.
The OKX listing arrives at a remarkable moment for Quant Network. The Clearing House selected Quant on September 24, 2026, to power its On-Chain Money Initiative, an interoperable network designed to clear and settle tokenised deposit transactions.The Clearing House runs two of the country's central payment systems: RTP for real-time payments and CHIPS for settling large payment volumes between banks.Quant will connect the network to The Clearing House's RTP and CHIPS systems, with availability expected in the first half of 2027.
That announcement sent $QNT sharply higher. QNT rallied roughly 178% over the past week, climbing from under $100 on September 25 to over $300 by month's end, before pulling back to around $249. The OKX perps listing adds another layer of institutional visibility to a token that has been stacking positive catalysts throughout 2026. Earlier in the year, $QNT announced a strategic partnership with Murex in March, a global leader in capital markets trading, embedding tokenized deposits and digital corporate bonds directly into the native workflows of top-tier institutional banks.
Quant Network builds the infrastructure of programmable money, using Overledger and QuantNet to connect banks, blockchains, tokenised deposits, and traditional payment rails so value can move and settle automatically across networks. With a major US banking mandate confirmed, an exchange listing streak gathering pace, and perpetuals now live on one of the world's largest crypto platforms, the project's near-term narrative shows little sign of slowing.
