Quantum eMotion Secures Major U.S. Exchange Listing

Quantum eMotion Corp. uplists to NYSE American, boosting visibility and access to institutional investors. Trading under QNC begins February 24, 2026.

Quantum eMotion Corp., a Montreal-based specialist in quantum encryption technology, has achieved a significant corporate milestone by receiving approval for its shares to trade on the NYSE American exchange. Trading under the new ticker symbol "QNC" is scheduled to commence on February 24, 2026. This move from the over-the-counter (OTCQB) marketplace to a formal U.S. exchange platform is poised to dramatically expand the company's visibility and accessibility to a vast pool of institutional investors.

A Strategic Uplisting

The company's transition, announced on February 19, 2026, involves a direct shift from the OTCQB to the NYSE American. Concurrently, Quantum eMotion will maintain its existing listings on the TSX Venture Exchange (QNC) and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (34Q0). Shareholders are not required to take any action, though investors who previously held shares via the OTCQB should confirm the ticker symbol update in their brokerage accounts.

Uplisting to a recognized U.S. exchange entails meeting more stringent listing standards and compliance requirements. As a key regulatory step in this process, the firm filed the necessary Form 40-F with U.S. authorities on January 22, 2026. This form is standard procedure for Canadian companies seeking a primary listing on a major U.S. bourse.

Financial Position and Market Valuation

The company's financial foundation appears robust. As of September 30, 2025, Quantum eMotion reported holding cash and cash equivalents of $24.7 million. Its financial activities through the first three quarters of 2025 were notable, generating $20.3 million from LIFE offerings. An additional $6.3 million was raised through the exercise of 15.3 million warrants.

Market valuations have shown substantial figures. Based on its OTCQB listing, the company's market capitalization was approximately $635.66 million as of February 13, 2026. Earlier, on the TSX Venture Exchange, Quantum eMotion was valued at around 1.12 billion Canadian dollars as of January 23, 2026.

Technology Advancements and Market Recognition

On the product development front, Quantum eMotion is pursuing FIPS 140-3 certification for its Quantum Crypto Module. This certification is a critical gateway for securing government and agency contracts. In a parallel development from December 2025, the company joined the Kirq testbed operated by Numana in Quebec. This collaboration aims to validate its patented Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG) technology in real-world scenarios.

The firm is also developing quantum-secured battery storage systems designed for critical infrastructure. In a sign of growing market recognition, it was revealed in late December 2025 that Quantum eMotion had become the largest single holding within the Defiance Quantum ETF.

Implications of the NYSE American Debut

The scheduled February 24, 2026, listing date represents a pivotal moment for investor access. The NYSE American platform is expected to facilitate exposure to a broader range of institutional funds and index-tracking products, many of which have mandates restricting investments to securities listed on primary national exchanges. This move coincides with heightened focus on the quantum encryption sector, as both corporations and governments worldwide accelerate preparations for the potential threat quantum computing poses to current cryptographic standards.
