About Qtum

Qtum Coin Trading

Qtum can be bought or sold on the following cryptocurrency exchanges:. It is usually not currently possible to buy alternative cryptocurrencies such as Qtum directly using US dollars. Investors seeking to trade Qtum should first buy Ethereum or Bitcoin using an exchange that deals in US dollars such as Gemini, GDAX or Changelly. Investors can then use their newly-acquired Ethereum or Bitcoin to buy Qtum using one of the aforementioned exchanges.

QTUM, token trading under the radar since the bear market of 2018, has finally picked up the pace after battling the resistance of $10.16. QTUM is now exploring new highs, as suggested by today’s trading session, where the token witnessed an epic rally of 30%. The daily RSI has entered the overbought zone, which might act as confrontation in cutting this bull rally short for the time being. The critical level to watch is $15.59 on account of it being flipped as support from resistance. The price action on the daily chart demonstrates the possibility of a potential rising wedge pattern. 

QTUM traded at around $5.54 when it was first launched in late 2017. For the next nine months, the token projected consolidation where it traded within the rangebound territory of $6 to $17. The crypto bull run of 2017 dragged QTUM to skyrocket from $17 to $85 in the span of three weeks. In march 2018 the token plunged down to its original price and started trading sideways for the next two years. However, this year QTUM has shown a massive recovery of 586%, thus stating that it does have to potential to soar to its former highs. Having said that, this recovery will be accompanied by a steady momentum. 

When we dive into the QTUM tokenomics, the altcoin has a circulating supply of 92%. What that means is that this cryptocurrency will not face inflation and if anything, over time, as it becomes all the more scarce, it is likely to face quantitative hardening, which we’ve seen in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

QTUM is a project that blends the UTXO model of Bitcoin with the Ethereum virtual machine to create a new Cryptocurrency EVM. The project is now developing a new virtual machine that will enable developers to write smart contracts that can be used with EVMs. QTUM’s main goal is to incorporate blockchain technology into various sectors such as banking, social networking, gambling, and online publishing. As a result, QTUM’s developers wanted to build a network that is both scalable and simple to use. 

SUPPORT : $10.16, $15.59

RESISTANCE : $23, $33

Want to jump straight to the answer? You can buy QTUM on Robinhood, Kraken and Voyager.

Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) are the two largest cryptocurrencies on the market — BTC’s market cap surpassing $1 trillion and ETH’s surpassing $300 billion in the last month. But Bitcoin and Ethereum have very distinct goals: Bitcoin is a store of value akin to digital gold, while Ethereum is a development platform that’s been compared to digital gasoline or oil.

Bitcoin’s beauty comes from its simplicity while Ethereum has an endless range of possible projects that can be adapted to its platform.

Here’s a thought — what if you combined the functionality of Ethereum with the security of Bitcoin? You might come up with something like Qtum, the open-sourced blockchain that promotes itself as a modifiable, decentralized application platform with unique advantages that neither Bitcoin or Ethereum can claim.

Qtum is a decentralized application network that uses proof of stake (PoS) to enable smart contracts to be built on top of its blockchain. However, the core of the network is run similar to Bitcoin’s model for transactions. Think of Qtum as a multi-layered cake, with Bitcoin’s transaction prowess on the bottom and Ethereum’s virtual app-building playground on top.

Like Ethereum, any number of projects and systems can be built on top of the Qtum blockchain, for which miners are paid in Qtum for approving blocks. The supply of Qtum is finite like Bitcoin and the blockchain is more secure thanks to the dual-natured technology connected by the Abstract Account Layer (AAL).

The Qtum project began in 2016 as developers sought to build a platform that could incorporate the security and seamlessness of BTC transactions onto an Ethereum-type network without exorbitant power usage.

The result was Qtum, which is pronounced Quantum. Qtum basically broke down and rewrote Bitcoin’s code to enable the unspent transaction output (UTXO) system to function on a blockchain similar to Ethereum.

UTXO is how the network measures how much Bitcoin is in outstanding wallets. UTXOs are unique to each individual user. Qtum uses UTXOs as the base layer of its network, unlike Ethereum, which uses an account-based chain to keep a tally of its tokens.

Qtum claims the 3rd largest node network in the world behind Bitcoin and Ethereum with nodes on every continent except Antarctica. Qtum uses the abstract account layer (AAL) to link the underlying UTXO system with the Ethereum virtual machine (EVM) or x86 virtual machine. The AAL acts like a translator, enabling Qtum developers to utilize the best aspects of the networks behind both Bitcoin and Ethereum.

QTUM is readily available for purchase at several different exchanges, but the traditional U.S. ones like Coinbase and Gemini don’t have it available. You’ll need to use Crypto.com, Kraken, Binance or Bitfinex to purchase QTUM.

Opening an account with cryptocurrency brokers like Coinbase and Gemini is swift and easy, but unfortunately, you won’t find Qtum among their list of tradable assets. To trade QTUM, you’ll need to use an exchange that has it listed — Kraken, Crypto.com and Binance.US are the best choices for American traders. 

However, while these exchanges are reputable and safe, they are headquartered outside of the U.S., which means the signup process is a little more invasive, and you could wind up paying international transaction fees on top of commissions and miner fees. Offshore exchanges do have benefits though, such as more available assets to trade and better staking rates.

Kraken is a cryptocurrency that offers access to more than 50 supported coins and tokens, staking capabilities, futures trading and more. Kraken offers a variable maker-taker fee schedule, which often results in lower fees compared to flat-rate brokerages.

In addition to a wide range of crypto choices, Kraken offers customizable ordering platforms and mobile apps that you can use to fully refine your trading experience. There’s plenty to love about trading on Kraken. It appeals to both seasoned professionals and new investors looking to learn more about the market.

Voyager is a leading name in the sphere of cryptocurrency investing, giving you access to over 50 tokens and coins. Buy, sell and swap assets using Voyager Crypto’s simple mobile platform available as a free download for iOS and Android users. 

When you invest through Voyager, you’ll pay nothing in commissions, which is a major benefit when compared to other cryptocurrency brokers. Voyager is also one of the only brokers we’ve seen that allows users to earn interest on their crypto investments. 

Though the broker could do more to improve its customer service, it’s an excellent option for beginner investors and seasoned professionals alike.

A wallet is a secure place to store your digital assets, such as cryptocurrencies and nonfungible tokens (NFTs). Wallets are separate from your brokerage or exchange account and less susceptible to hackers. You don’t need a wallet to buy and sell cryptocurrencies, but it is a convenient (and safe) way to keep your investments in one place. Crypto investors have two different types of wallets to choose from:

The Ledger series of cold wallets is one of the most trusted names in the crypto industry. Ledger hardware wallets can be used by a large swath of different digital assets, including hard-to-locate coins like Qtum and Nano. The Ledger Nano X is the newest innovation from the company and the best if you’re looking for cold storage.

Qtum has its own software wallet that allows easy transfer of your tokens across mobile and desktop applications. Despite the simple interface, you’ll only be using it to store your QTUM. If you want a more diverse wallet, use Trust Wallet for iOS or Android, which can store cryptocurrency and NFTs.

Once you’ve opened an account with an exchange where Qtum is available, you’ll need to fund your account and make your investment. When using exchanges like Kraken and Crypto.com, you’ll need to wait a little longer for your funds to be accessible and you’ll need to be wary of international fees. Make sure you understand all the extra costs so you can properly calculate your returns.

After buying QTUM, you’ll have three options: hold it, sell it, or convert it to a different cryptocurrency. Selling and converting QTUM will come with various fees and commissions. If you want to convert a different crypto like BTC or ETH into QTUM, make sure you understand any associated exchange fees. 

Selling QTUM for U.S. dollars will create a taxable event, which could create complications if you’re using an international-based exchange. Yes, not only do you need to deal with international fees, but also international tax considerations.

The cryptocurrency market is a volatile and unpredictable one, plus it trades 24/7. You’ll need to keep a closer eye on your crypto investments than your typical stocks or bonds. Here are today’s crypto prices:

Qtum has potential because it combines some of the best elements from the two mainstay cryptocurrencies into a single digital platform. And it’s true that Qtum can perform some tasks that neither Bitcoin or Ethereum can match. But it’s still early in the game for Qtum, which is both exciting and nerve-wracking. 

On one hand, this could be a ground-floor type opportunity for investors to get in early on the next big cryptocurrency. On the other hand, many promising coins have failed to grasp market attention and simply faded away into oblivion. Cautious optimism isn’t a bad mantra to take if you want to buy QTUM.

Qtum Chain Foundation, the blockchain platform, is launching a new Venture Capital fund that will be headquartered in its home office, in Stockholm, Sweden. It is called Qtum VC group and is designed to offer both funding and ideas to early-stage blockchain projects.

The Director of the group, Antonio Saaranen, commented:

“Our initial pledge for the fund will be $10M, and we’re open to partnering up with similar entities in the crypto space. We will have a blockchain agnostic approach in this fund and are willing to work with any projects that wish to contribute to the blockchain ecosystem as a whole. With this venture capital group, Qtum can take advantage of our team’s deep experience in blockchain and, at the same time, help aspiring projects hit the ground running and come to the market.”

Qtum has been very successful in the blockchain sector and is likely to continue to grow its presence globally. Some of the areas that Qtum VC is interested in supporting are green applications for blockchain, NFTs, and decentralized finance (DeFi). It will also look at layer 0 and layer 2 projects.

Many of the ideas that can help blockchain grow into an industry-standard technology have already been shown to be 100% viable in the real world. As blockchain solutions are developed further, many more small companies will adapt existing use cases to new markets.

Green energy is an especially interesting area that blockchain companies been successful in developing game-changing platforms. Power Ledger has developed technology that makes keeping track of small and medium-scale solar generation output easy, which completely changes the dynamics of a solar-based energy grid.

This technology can be adapted to other markets and other use cases.

From a technical perspective, it doesn’t really matter if a blockchain is keeping track of solar power or some other form of small-scale generation. The cost of developing platforms like the one Power Ledger has isn’t prohibitive, especially if it means more efficient use of a valuable resource.

There are, of course, many other ways that blockchain can be used in green technology, which is only one of the sectors that Qtum VC will likely support.

A number of high-profile VC funds are entering the blockchain space. A16z is reportedly dedicating $1 billion to a new blockchain fund, and longstanding blockchain investor Pantera Capital is looking for another $600 million for a new fund that will be blockchain specific.

It isn’t difficult to see why intelligent investors are entering the blockchain VC space. Blockchain technology now has numerous successful rollouts and a robust global development environment.

The simple fact is that blockchain platforms create ways for new technology to be effective commercially, and also create ways for people to take full advantage of the global IT network.

In the case of DeFi, blockchain actually allows people to enter the financial system, and with blockchains like Qtum’s, avoid some of the pitfalls that both Bitcoin and Ethereum have fallen into.

While Bitcoin was an amazing first use of Blockchain, the Proof-of-Work (PoW) system it uses is a serious drawback. Unlike Bitcoin, Qtum uses a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) architecture, which means much lower costs, and higher speeds.

Now Qtum can take the lessons it learned in creating its blockchain, and help other companies to enter the market with well-developed ideas, and a solid footing.

There are many ways that blockchain-based systems can help make the world better, and with the kind of funding that is hitting the blockchain VC market, some great ideas will get the support they need.

Qtum Foundation, a Singaporean non-profit organization, created Qtum platform in 2016. The platform is designed to help companies or organizations create smart contracts while allowing users to do transactions like Bitcoin. Users are able to build apps and create smart contracts on the blockchain while managing transactions easily.

Since Qtum is an open source platform, users are able to modify the code so they can write smart contracts on top of it. As a result, there will be layers of applications running on the EVM. Ethereum has good blockchain mechanism, but the security isn’t impressive. Blockchain, on the other hand, is safer and more trusted. It’s only logical to combine both beneficial features within a single platform.

You can basically use debit card, credit card, or even PayPal to buy the Qtum (or any other cryptocurrencies). However, the transaction won’t be direct. It’s not like you pay with cash and you get the Qtum as the exchange.

With cryptocurrency, things are different. You need to use debit card or credit card to buy the Ethereum or Bitcoin first. After you get the Ethereum or Bitcoin, you can convert it to Qtum. It takes several stages and processes. You need to gain access to the reputable cryptocurrency exchange first to make sure that everything is safe and sound.

In general, the process would be:

There is no better way to get started with cryptocurrencies than aiming high for the big boys. You have to buy your first shares of Bitcoin or Ethereum by creating an account at COINBASE. The best to do so is by creating a confirmed account in the platform and explore your options.

The site will ask for some basic information about yourself, make sure to tell the truth. Otherwise, you could face withholding of your investment. Make sure to type your name, your e-mail, and your password correctly. The stronger your password is, the safest your money will be. You will be asked to check your status as a living being using a re-captcha box and to agree to the terms of use of the platform.

That’s the first step in buying Qtum, once you get your Bitcoin or Ethereum, you can continue to the next step.

After you have your Coinbase account, you need to choose a cryptocurrency exchange to make your deals, then you need to transfer your newly purchased BTC or ETH from your Coinbase wallet.

With so many options out there and so many unbalanced reviews across the internet, it can be quite challenging to choose the right exchange service. Since we are looking out for you and we are interested in making you win money as well, we have taken the liberty of picking ten of the best ranking exchanges you can contact on the internet. For the sake of transparency, we can tell you that our operations keep running each time you click on these recommendations.

These are the best exchanges we can recommend for you to exchange BTC or ETH with Qtum:

Coinswitch is not exactly an exchange service, but more like an aggregator system that works with similar mechanisms as established exchanges. They allow the investor to get in touch with different exchanges and get all the information they need about the deals they offer for their listed digital currencies.

IMPORTANT! Once you are registered to any of the above, find the BTC/QTUM or ETH/QTUM trading pair and then place the order to buy those pairing cryptocurrencies. Go back to COINBASE and transfer/exchange your Bitcoin/Ethereum.

As your portfolio of crypto assets expand, you will need to have a crypto wallet to keep your goods safe. There are thousands of service providers on that end, and choosing the right one would take an entirely new guide to share some knowledge about this topic.

You can install one of these wallets in your hardware. That way, you can keep your currencies in your devices, such as your desktop or laptop. If you prefer, you can also use an online wallet to keep your holdings safe on the internet.

There are also options to have mobile wallets installed on your smart device, but most of them are lacking in the space department. The final option would be a paper wallet, which is nothing more than a euphemism to get an official legal document that states the content of your wallet and the keys to gain access to them.

For Securing your Qtum (QTUM) We recommend you to use hardware wallet which support many cryptocurrencies – Choose between these two: Ledger or Trezor

LEDGER NANO-X

TREZOR MODEL-T

You won’t be able to buy this directly with PayPal. If you are going to use PayPal, you need to buy Bitcoin or Ethereum first and then exchange it with the Qtum. You can use LocalBitcoins to find BTC or ETH seller who accept paypal as payment.

You can’t buy it directly, you need to get bitcoin/ethereum first. buying BTC or ETH with cash you can do the following:

You can’t buy QTUM directly with skrill but you can buy Bitcoin/Ethereum first using Skrill and exchange it later to Qtum. You can buy BTC/ETH with skrill by using these exchanges::

Yes, you are basically exchanging your Bitcoin with this. Just head to any exchanges listed above, find trading pair BTC/QTUM and begin the transactions.

Yes, the process is similar to using Bitcoin: Find a criptocurrency exchange which support ETH/QTUM trading pair.

The cheapest way is to use bank account to buy Bitcoins first or to buy the Qtum right away. The fastest way is to use a credit card but you will then be charged higher fees.

Once you have purchased the Qtum, transfer it to your wallet. We recommend using hardware wallet, here are some recommendations:

Securely trade on-the-go and manage a large number of assets at the same time, with only one device.

The next-generation cryptocurrency hardware wallet, designed to be your universal vault for all of your digital assets. Store and encrypt your coins, passwords and other digital keys with confidence.

Find a crypto exchange which allow pairing QTUM with BTC or ETH – convert it back to Bitcoin or Ethereum, then sell your BTC or ETH for a fiat currency.

You can’t mine this actually. It has a completely different network and structure than the regular Bitcoin. The only way to own a Qtum is to buy it from a reliable exchange.

Qtum platform provides a functional and convenient place for business to create smart contracts in a safer way. By combining the best technology from Ethereum and the safety from Bitcoin, everyone can enjoy the offered features of this platform. Anyone interested in making a smart investment while managing digital smart contracts should consider this platform.

Blockchain platform Qtum has announced a bumper $1M fund to spur third-party developers to create DeFi applications on Quantum Chain, as per a release on August 17.

The release stated Qtum’s architecture overlaps with Ethereum significantly; both networks use the EVM and Solidity programming language, making it easy for devs to jump ship. 

Qtum founder Patrick Dai announced the initiative and pledged up to $5 million in total if there is sufficient demand.

The token pumped by over 10% after the announcement, as interest for DeFi applications and networks in the crypto space has grown in the past few months.

Qtum said it has higher throughput and lower fees but lack Ethereum’s network effects and developer community. To solve this, Qtum’s DeFi fund will bootstrap development while giving Solidity programmers an incentive to migrate.

In a blog post on August 17, Qtum presented its case for being a more suitable framework for DeFi development. It listed a number of advantages that Qtum holds over rival chains including compatibility with ETH’s smart contract ecosystem.

Neutron middleware compatibility that enables other programming languages to be used to code smart contracts was also included. WASM, RISC-V, and the x86 virtual machine developed by Qtum can all be utilized on its UTXO-based blockchain.

While Qtum and Ethereum are bonded by the same EVM and smart contract language, there are some key differences between the pair, the release noted.

For one, Qtum uses the UTXO model that was popularized by Bitcoin, whereas ETH deploys an account-based system for tracking on-chain addresses. And two, Qtum is a PoS chain, while Ethereum’s transition to Proof of Stake is still a work in progress. 

However, features unique to Qtum include a Decentralized Governance Protocol (DGP) that enables specific blockchain settings, such as the block size, to be modified by making use of smart contracts, said the release.

Switching some of that business to faster, more scalable chains will bring relief to DeFi while users frustrated by being priced out of interacting with decentralized finance while freeing developers to deploy applications that are not constrained by throughput and gas costs.

The price of QTUM has risen above $35 for the first time in three years, as the team’s attention on DeFi and staking draws new customers.

After rising 1.510 percent in 2021, the QTUM price reached an all-time high of $35.70 on May 7. This mysterious altcoin, which debuted in September 2017, is a fork of the Bitcoin Core 0.13 version, but it also includes the Ethereum virtual machine (EVM) and smart contract execution capabilities.

Following Bitcoin’s (BTC) April 23 plunge to $47,500, QTUM saw a 52 percent drop in four days before bottoming out at $10. However, the condition for the altcoin changed on May 5, when QTUM began a 160 percent rally in two days, hitting a high of $35.70.

The primary aim of the open-source framework is to offer basic resources for everyone to use in order to build decentralised applications (dApps) while retaining a high degree of network protection. To deter malicious nodes, the project choose a slightly different Proof of Stake (POS) variant, and a certain number of blocks are required for the staking tokens to become legitimate.

Aside from providing an on-chain shared governance protocol, Qtum blockchain supports smart contract programming languages other than Solidity. Token holders have the ability to vote on network criteria such as block size and the base gas charge.

Although the Qtum blockchain has an on-chain governance mechanism, it also has an off-chain framework for accepting and managing larger protocol updates. Decentralized finance (DeFi) has recently been established as a priority area for the protocol, and steps have been taken to attract new ventures.

This strategy seems to be finally paying off, as the number of daily network transactions peaked on May 6.

Offline staking was introduced in August 2020 and has since expanded to account for more than half of all staking operation on the Qtum blockchain. Investors who do not wish to manage their own nodes should delegate their coins to a non-custodial entity.

Value Network announced plans to move away from Ethereum on March 17 due to network congestion and high costs. It is now migrating to the Qtum smart contract and DApp network and has been awarded a development grant to expedite the process.

On March 31, Qtum founder Patrick Dai announced that the protocol was in the process of enabling smart contracts for Filecoin (FIL) through the Qtum network.

On April 30, the network hard forked from a 128-second block average to a 32-second block average. The four weeks it used to take for an average-sized staker to become legitimate has now been shortened to a single week.

Another explanation for QTUM’s latest surge is interoperability. The team is working on Neutron, a blockchain-agnostic interface that will enable virtual machines to operate on several blockchains. Furthermore, QiSwap, its own DEX, allows users to create DeFi applications and have liquidity on top of the Qtum blockchain.

Qtum aims to deal with serious smart contract contenders such as Cardano (ADA), Polkadot (DOT), VeChain (VET), and Solana (SOL), and the initiative has a market capitalisation of $2.74 billion.

However, in order for QTUM’s price to rise, investors would most likely want to see more decentralised apps and complete value locked (TVL) on the network.
