Quantum X to provide strategic advisory services supporting Ostium's commercial growth and expansion across global financial markets.

LOCUST VALLEY, N.Y., Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum X Inc. (OTC: QUTX) ("Quantum X" or the "Company"), a publicly traded company advancing opportunities in quantum technology and artificial intelligence applications, today announced its ongoing strategic advisory collaboration with Ostium, a high-growth leveraged trading platform providing access to global financial markets through stablecoin-based infrastructure.

Ostium is backed by over $27 million from venture capital and market-making firms including General Catalyst, a prominent global investment and transformation firm that manages over $43 billion in assets under management (AUM), as well as Jump Crypto, Susquehanna (SIG), and LocalGlobe. Through this relationship, Quantum X is providing targeted strategic advisory support designed to accelerate Ostium's ongoing growth initiatives, scale its commercial opportunities, and expand its footprint among professional market participants.

Ostium operates a trading platform offering leveraged exposure to currencies, commodities, cryptocurrencies, and equities, with settlement in stablecoins. Its recently introduced Gateway platform extends this infrastructure to professional market participants, exchanges, fintech companies, and other financial service providers through API-based access to trading and hedging capabilities.

The collaboration complements Quantum X's broader strategy at the intersection of advanced computing and financial markets. Through initiatives exploring artificial intelligence, quantitative modeling, and emerging quantum computing techniques, Quantum X is evaluating how innovative technologies may support the analysis of complex financial data. Ostium's trading infrastructure represents a complementary area of the financial technology ecosystem, connecting traditional global markets with modern digital trading and settlement capabilities.

The relationship reflects Quantum X's broader interest in emerging financial technologies and market infrastructure, particularly businesses developing innovative approaches to accessing and participating in global financial markets. The advisory arrangement is designed to align Quantum X's interests with growth in trading activity across Ostium's platform.

"We are pleased to collaborate with Ostium and support the company's growth across global financial markets. The Ostium team has developed a compelling platform that bridges traditional market access with stablecoin-based financial infrastructure.

We see significant opportunity to contribute through our strategic advisory capabilities, supporting Ostium's commercial growth and the broader adoption of its trading infrastructure. We look forward to building on this collaboration and creating meaningful value together."
