The Qtum-Ethereum bridge
The bridge aims to boost DeFi and Web3 operations on the QTUM blockchain by integrating stablecoin USD Coin and ERC 20 coins.
We are working on a bridge that will allow Circle USDC and other Ethereum ERC-20 assets to be bridged to the Qtum blockchain. This will enable DeFi and other Web3 technology to operate better on Qtum, even more than before.

Qtums daily trading volume jumped 30% to $54.58 million, indicating massive user activity.
Meanwhile, broad market sentiments remain vital in shaping the altcoins near-term trajectory.
Bears resurface after the latest recovery, triggering a 1.07% decline in the global crypto market capitalization.
Bitcoin holds steady above $64.5K as bulls fight back, and the bellwether crypto could reclaim yesterdays high of $65.95.
Qtum 2024 prediction
The altcoins current price is way far from the $92 ATH attained in 2018.
Nevertheless, that shows QTUM has immense growth potential, with movements towards the record peaks translating to massive gains.
Latest trends within the DeFi market and Ethereum-based projects have seen smart contracts flourishing.
Qtum will likely witness increased demand in the financial space. Moreover, its connection with Bitcoin means a robust performance for QTUM when BTC touches levels above $100K.
Besides offering a safe and reliable platform for smart contracts development and implementation, the QTUM blockchain provides services tailored to commercial customers.
Demand from businesses amid broad market rallies will likely propel Qtum to the $6 – $10 price range by 2024-end.
