- QTUM is partnered with Umy to offer travel booking discounts of up to 24%.
- QTUM has announced plans for native Stablecoin to enhance ecosystem utilities.
- In July, QTUM stakers earned APY staking yields of 5-10%, supporting long-term holdings.
The QTUM token price returned to $2.99 at press after hitting a high of $3.44 today.
The price surge was primarily the result of the announcement of a partnership between QTUM and Umy.
Umy's partnership promotes market optimism
Umy.com, a collaboration with QTUM's travel booking platform, has infused new enthusiasm into the project's ecosystem.
The announcement reveals that users who pay with QTUM tokens will receive an additional 5% discount on their bookings.
These savings can be combined with Umy's carnival offers, membership perks and coupons, bringing you a potential total discount at 24%.
QTUM shared the news on its official Twitter account and highlighted the real-world use cases of tokens to make travel payments smarter and more affordable.

By reposting Umy's promotional campaign, the project doubled the message that QTUM is not only a speculative asset, but also a functional currency that travelers can use right away.
This development comes when utility-driven partnerships are seen as key to maintaining momentum in the digital asset market.
Investors appear to have responded aggressively, with trading volumes skyrocketing over $610 million over the past 24 hours.
Stablecoin plan adds to bullish outlook
Beyond Umy's deals, the Market Observers point to other catalysts that encourage QTUM gatherings.
The key driver is the announcement of native Qtum Stablecoin, revealed by founder Patrick Dye in July 2025, and speculations about its third quarter 2025 launch.
Fixed to stable assets, Stablecoin is expected to reduce reliance on bridging tokens like USDT and enhance the network's Defi capabilities.
Native Stablecoin can attract more developers and users by enabling predictable transactions, supporting liquidity and unlocking new yield farming opportunities.
This initiative coincides with QTUM's hybrid architecture, combining Bitcoin's UTXO model with Ethereum's smart contract capabilities.
The ability of a project to merge updates from both Bitcoin and Ethereum deploys it as a flexible Layer 1 network with powerful long-term potential while building its own capabilities.
Staking incentives support networks
Another factor that supports QTUM's ecosystem is staking.
In July alone, over 40,000 QTUMs were generated by staking, with holders earning APYs of 5% to 10%.
Some exchanges offer lower yields, but opportunities to directly bet on the network will encourage long-term holdings and reduce circulating supply.
While its staking rewards are less aggressive than those in the new chain, QTUM's stability and established infrastructure are attractive to the speculation-focused segment.
Technical breakouts bring momentum and risk
Recent surges also reflect bullish technical signals. QTUM prices cleared the Fibonacci retracement level of 23.6% to nearly $3.11, and further upwards excluded the sales room.
Tokens are currently traded near pivot points, but momentum indicators such as MACD show bullish divergence.
However, caution remains. The relative strength index has skyrocketed into the acquired territory, suggesting that short-term pullbacks are possible.
Traders are currently focusing on the next resistance level of $3.88, while $2.72 exists as an important support line that can lead to profits if compromised.
