Dormant Quant whale wallets began moving QNT after the token’s sharp September rally and the selection of Quant for The Clearing House’s tokenized-deposit initiative. One founder-linked wallet also moved 25,776 QNT to newly created wallets, while a separate large transfer moved 492,721 QNT between unknown wallets.

Key claims & sources

✓
Whale wallets that had been inactive for more than three years started sending QNT to exchanges as the token climbed 287% in a week to $266.75, and on-chain whale transactions reached a record high.
✓
New wallets appeared days after The Clearing House chose Quant for its tokenized-deposit network.
✓
Wallets inactive since 2023 moved about $10 million in QNT onto exchanges during the rally.
✓
Dormant whale wallets returned after more than three years and sent over $9.9 million in QNT toward major exchanges after a rally of more than 400% from Sept. 21 to Sept. 28.
✓
A founder-linked wallet moved 25,776 QNT worth $6.97 million to several newly created wallets after seven years of inactivity and still held about 600,000 QNT valued at $160.39 million.
✓
A separate transfer moved 492,721 QNT between unknown wallets, with the move valued at about $140 million.
✓
The founder-linked wallet move did not send tokens to an exchange, and the transfer went to a new wallet.
✓
Quant price rose about 400% over one month, and the founder-linked wallet moved 25,776 QNT after seven years.

What it means

Quant holders who watch on-chain activity will notice that long-dormant wallets have started moving tokens again, including transfers to exchanges and to newly created wallets. That makes wallet activity around QNT more visible today than it was before, especially after the recent surge in activity and the new-wallet creation that followed the tokenized-deposit selection.

What changes in practice is that QNT now has examples of both exchange-directed transfers and transfers into fresh wallets, while one large movement between unknown wallets also sits in the record. What does not change is that the founder-linked transfer shown here went to a new wallet rather than an exchange, so the movement itself does not confirm a sale.
