In January 2018, Qtum landed two partners that will use its blockchain. The first is with a firm called “360 Finance”. This company owns a popular search engine in China. The second is Baofeng, which owns a streaming service, also in China. There are rumors that Qtum is going to land a major global partner soon. There are many cryptocurrency projects with no partnerships who will use their blockchain. Qtum has partnerships with the product it has. Whoever that global partner will be, we will wait to see if this will affect the value of this cryptocurrency.
