Qtum
QTUMLive. Code changed: 6 days ago. Machine-drafted, not yet checked by a person.
Qtum is a blockchain that combines Bitcoin's security approach with Ethereum-style smart contracts. Of the 8 things it promised, it delivered 2, 1 is past due and not yet checked, 5 are still open (5 with no date); nothing dated is coming up. It trades at $0.9009, #281 of all coins by size, 99% below its highest ever price.
This week Nothing changed on its record.
A real job, real backing. Delivered 2 of 8, 1 past due, not yet checked. Nothing dated ahead. #81 of 442 smart contract platforms. Nothing to be careful of on the record.
Is it real?

It is already worth more than the typical coin in Smart Contract Platform ($17.59M). To match the leader, Cardano ($7.66B), its price would need to rise 7911%, to about $72.17.

What to do It has delivered 2 of 8 dated promises and nothing dated is ahead. Add it to My coins and come back when it posts a new date; until then the record has nothing new to say.
A gap is not a forecast. Most small coins never close it. The site never picks.
Four tests, printed. Passing all four means a real job, real backing, something ahead, and a price far below the leader of its group. A filter on facts, never a verdict.
Every line has a source: the coin's own listing, CoinGecko's tags, the record, or the news feed. Reputation here is a count, never an opinion.

- Past dueMay 2026Qtum said that logging into its AI video tool with a MetaMask wallet would become available in May 2026.107 days overdue, not yet checkedProof No article or release reports it shipping. Checked 12 September 2026.
- Openno dateQtum says it will launch a bridge letting USDC move between Ethereum and Qtum by summer 2026.
Details
“This set of smart contracts provided by Circle allows the burning and minting of USDC to happen cross-chain using a bridge. No more liquidity pools or hokey solutions, users simply send their $USDC from Ethereum to Qtum and back using Metamask. When to expect this? Summer 2026. The audits are all finished and it’s just a matter of deploying it.”
- Openno dateQtum says its MetaMask wallet extension and its Ethereum-Qtum bridge will both go live by summer 2026.
Details
“This “snap” just clicks into your current MetaMask install, giving you access to Qtum and QRC-20 tokens without needing to download an entirely new ecosystem. It has all the hooks required to interface with the Qtum bridge, along with other web3 dapps like DeFi and AI image generators etc. We have this product audited by Hacken and ready to release. The bridge has been audited by Certik and has been tested in a community event. When will this be live? Summer 2026. The bridge we can just deploy ourselves, but the MetaMask Snap we need to reach out to Consensys to get it updated on the Snap Directory. We’re also in the process of getting this done.”
- Openno dateQtum said that once its AI router launches, it plans to release a separate tool for making longer AI-generated videos using that router.
- Openno dateQtum said a decentralized exchange, a prediction market, and a few small web-based games built by outside studios would launch on Qtum later in 2026.
Details
“To support our upcoming USDC and MetaMask Snap launch, we’ve spoken with some third party studios who have agreed to develop some dapps and operate them on the Qtum blockchain. Coming out in 2026 there will be a decentralized exchange, prediction market, and a couple small web based games. We recently deployed some simple example dapps, like a wheel spin game and a dice simulator. This allows developers to see how dapps are deployed on Qtum, and how they work with the MetaMask Snap. When will we see the Dex, prediction market, and games? Later in 2026 depending on the audits.”
- Openno dateQtum said more AI video models, including one called LTX 2.3 that was being tested, would be added to its video tool.

Details
“Similar to OpenRouter, we will build and deploy an API that allows users to access Qtum services simply for a fee. This will be a fork of OnlyRouter.ai only the payment method will use Qtum and eventually Qtum USDC. Qtum Router will provide text, image, video, audio inference services. When to expect this? We are in the beginning stages of cloning and deploying this. This should arrive in 2026.”

Smart Contract Platform: this coin next to Cardano, the biggest rival within reach. People go to the bigger coin unless the smaller one does something it does not.
- Qtum says
- Qtum is a blockchain that combines Bitcoin's security approach with Ethereum-style smart contracts.
- Cardano says
- Cardano is a shared public ledger run by many independent computers, where the right to add new records goes to participants in proportion to the coins they hold, and it is the ledger on which the ada coin exists.
Two claims, side by side, in their own words. Whether the difference is real is for the record to show over time, and for you to judge.
Qtum is a blockchain that combines Bitcoin's security approach with Ethereum-style smart contracts.
Its listing puts it this way: Qtum is a decentralized and open-source smart contracts platform and value transfer protocol. Qtum uses proof-of-stake consensus, meaning node operators are rewarded for validating transactions.
Problem it says it solves: a platform other apps build on. 52 coins we have checked say the same; together they are worth $408,727,547,844.
Where it trades: Crypto.com, Kraken, Binance, Binance US, OKX
Each bar is a coin's worth today (price × coins out), longest first. The lit bar is this coin; grey bars are the others doing the same job.
Bars are market cap. Order is size, nothing else. Differences are measured from the coin you are looking at.
What should make me careful?

None of the six tests fails. A missed promise counts only on a record a person has checked.

What it says is different: Qtum is a decentralized and open-source smart contracts platform and value transfer protocol. Qtum uses proof-of-stake consensus, meaning node operators are rewarded for validating transactions.
It is 1.2% the size of Cardano. On the facts above it is behind on major exchanges, headlines, last month. For that gap to close, the record would need news that names it. Nothing here says it will; the site does not predict.
The tests: nothing to hold it for, more missed than delivered, priced ahead of its record, half the supply still to come, rivals ship while it does not, a big release of coins soon.

98%
of all QTUM that will ever exist is already out in public hands: 106.11M coins.
2% (1.71M coins) is not yet created or held by the project. That is a small share. Those coins can be sold later, which can push the price down.

Pays for every use of its network
Every transaction on its network pays a fee in it. That is the built-in reason anyone needs it.
- Every transaction on its network pays a fee in it
- Can be staked to earn a share of network rewards
That is all a market cap is: today's price times the coins in public hands. It moves every time the price does. It says what buyers are paying, not what the coin is worth.
