In 2013, he was shilling Bitcoin; now he's shilling QNT. After Quant partners with major U.S. clearing institutions, are there more positive developments to come?
BlockBeats news, September 28th - Yesterday, the altcoin Quant (QNT), which had already been maintaining its position at the top of the gainers list for several consecutive days, was completely ignited in its upward momentum by a single tweet. Analyst Jan Nieuwenhuijs, citing his 2013 tweet recommending Bitcoin, posted a new tweet stating, "Today I recommend everyone buy at least 1 QNT. Risk: losing $120, potential gain: $10,000."
The tweet was widely spread, and QNT surged 145% in a single day, reaching a high of $373, skyrocketing 430% in 4 days. As of press time, QNT has pulled back nearly 30% from its high, currently trading at $253, corresponding to a market cap of $3.15 billion.
Historical data shows that Jan Nieuwenhuijs did not recommend QNT on a whim. He first began paying attention to and mentioning QNT in June 2023. At that time, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) released a report on the "unified ledger," and Quant had just announced its collaboration with BIS and the Bank of England on Project Rosalind. He began tweeting from that time, linking Quant's Overledger with this "unified ledger."
On the news front, Quant Network announced on September 24th that it had reached a partnership with The Clearing House (TCH), a major U.S. bank clearing institution, to bring on-chain programmable money to the U.S. market. Quant will provide an interoperability layer to enable tokenized deposits to flow freely within the regulated banking system. This partnership is an extension of its related work in the UK, Europe, and other regions.
In response, Jan Nieuwenhuijs stated that he expects another official partnership to be announced by Quant (QNT) in the coming months, possibly Project Agora. Agora is a multi-currency shared platform for wholesale cross-border payments, with participating countries including France, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Switzerland, the UK, and the U.S. Participants also include HSBC, Citi, JPMorgan, Santander, Deutsche Bank, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), SWIFT, Visa, and Mastercard.
It is reported that Jan Nieuwenhuijs is an independent Dutch gold analyst who, under the pseudonym Koos Jansen, was the first to expose that China's gold demand was severely underestimated by the West and that central banks were secretly stockpiling gold, thereby gaining fame in the international gold community. In 2013, he posted a tweet recommending buying Bitcoin: "I recommend everyone buy at least 1 Bitcoin. Risk: losing $300, potential gain: $10,000."
