How Is QUANT Token Performing Now?

All three of GenZ’s rug-pull crypto tokens have created a sensation in the crypto trading community, but things are slowing down again. It has been quite a few hours since the incident, and the QUANT token’s performance is declining with time. This is common for newly popular memecoins as they pump with hype and drop once the trend ends. It is now worth $0.03075 after losing more than 50% of its value. Additionally, its market capitalization has dropped to $28.4M, but the trading volume is still high at $317.5M.

Interestingly, despite the decline, many crypto investors made decent gains while selling at high. Besides, the token is still up by 28,000% and is trending all over social media, which could help in recovery in the future.
