Ethereum (ETH) has led every major cycle in digital assets, and it will likely test the $5,000 mark once again. Yet history shows that when ETH begins to stall near psychological ceilings, investors shift toward earlier-stage projects with live utility and clear expansion ahead. Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is positioning itself as that hidden gem, combining a governance-stabilized $1 stablecoin, mtToken staking with MUTM rewards, and a buyback system that transforms platform usage into consistent demand.

Trading volume soared 35% to $49.9 billion, driven by whale accumulation of 681,103 ETH ($3.22 billion) and significant corporate treasury holdings.

For example, a lender who deposits $15,000 in BUSD during high utilization will see a 17% APY, generating $2,550 over a year. This will be tracked through mtBUSD, a tokenized receipt that will grow in redemption value over time. Borrowers will unlock liquidity without giving up their assets: a user who places $9,500 in MATIC at a 74% loan-to-value ratio will unlock $7,030 while still keeping exposure to…
