This New Crypto Hits 300% While Altcoin Market Is Fading, Experts Explain

4 min read

A curious dynamic is unfolding across the digital asset market. While many established altcoins are struggling to hold their value, a select group of new cheap crypto projects is moving in the opposite direction. This pattern aligns with what professional traders often describe as risk compression.

For most new cryptocurrencies, the highest risk exists at inception, when a project is little more than an idea. As technical milestones are reached and core systems go live, the fundamental risk to investor capital declines significantly. However, market pricing does not always immediately reflect this improved risk profile.

How Mutuum Finance (MUTM) Is Compressing its Risk Curve

The main example of such a risk-first development is Mutuum Finance (MUTM). The project is constructing a non-custodial lending and borrowing protocol. Instead of depending on hype on social media, Mutuum Finance has been working on clearing significant challenges. 

Mutuum Finance’s roadmap is unfolding quickly and has recently moved its V1 protocol to the Sepolia testnet. This action is an indication that the lending logic and pools of liquidity are working. The V1 launch represents a major technical milestone that transitions the project from a concept to a functional financial tool. This testnet version allows users to interact with the core liquidity pools using major assets such as ETH, USDT, LINK, and WBTC.

One of the central features of the V1 protocol is the mtToken system, which issues interest-bearing receipts to lenders. These tokens automatically grow in value as the protocol collects interest from borrowers, providing a seamless way to track yield without manual claiming. 

On the borrowing side, the system uses debt tokens to account for outstanding principal and interest in real-time. To ensure the entire ecosystem remains secure, the V1 release includes an automated liquidator bot that monitors user health factors. This bot is designed to manage risky positions and maintain protocol solvency by liquidating collateral if its value drops below a safe threshold. 

The team has eliminated the huge execution risk that kills most new projects by providing a work system prior to the mainnet launch. The roadmap has ceased to be a list of promises but a list of tested technical accomplishments.

The Growth Behind Mutuum Finance (MUTM)

Mutuum Finance (MUTM) has already collected more than $20.1 million dollars and gained more than 19, 00 holders. The project is in the presale Phase 7 and the price of MUTM is $0.04. It is increasing by a 3x mark of its initial price, but still at a significantly low point at the official launch price of $0.06. 

Of all the supply of 4 billion tokens, approximately 1.82 billion are distributed to the presale community. Over 840 million tokens are already sold. This extensive distribution is critical since it implies that the supply does not fall into the hands of very few people. A wide range of holder bases lowers the chances of huge price volatility. With the availability of the cheap tokens reduced to a drier, the chances of post-launch dump diminishes even more.

Security Stack and Long-Term Expectation

Mutuum Finance has also developed a multi-layered security stack to ensure further security to its users. CertiK, a major trust signal in the industry, has a high 90/100 score on the protocol. Also, the code has been reviewed in entirety by Halborn Security. 

The team also pays ethical hackers a bug bounty of $50,000 to guarantee the safety in the long-term. These layers serve a purpose of providing insurance to the protocol. They offer downside insurance that serious institutional investors seek to find before they can commit significant sums of money.

The last signs that a major reprice is imminent are now being realized. Big players are recording large-scale allocations of more than $100,000. Interaction is also good with the 24-hour leader board whereby the highest daily depositor receives a $500 in mUTM. 

Such a combination of known security, operational V1 testnet and increasing participation indicates that the risk-first one is coming to an exit. With the project being on the verge of its public launch, the market will eventually realign the price with the technical maturity of the project but at that point the current 50% MUTM discount will be gone.

Botanix launches stBTC to deliver Bitcoin-native yield

The post Botanix launches stBTC to deliver Bitcoin-native yield appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Botanix Labs has launched stBTC, a liquid staking token designed to turn Bitcoin into a yield-bearing asset by redistributing network gas fees directly to users. The protocol will begin yield accrual later this week, with its Genesis Vault scheduled to open on Sept. 25, capped at 50 BTC. The initiative marks one of the first attempts to generate Bitcoin-native yield without relying on inflationary token models or centralized custodians. stBTC works by allowing users to deposit Bitcoin into Botanix’s permissionless smart contract, receiving stBTC tokens that represent their share of the staking vault. As transactions occur, 50% of Botanix network gas fees, paid in BTC, flow back to stBTC holders. Over time, the value of stBTC increases relative to BTC, enabling users to redeem their original deposit plus yield. Botanix estimates early returns could reach 20–50% annually before stabilizing around 6–8%, a level similar to Ethereum staking but fully denominated in Bitcoin. Botanix says that security audits have been completed by Spearbit and Sigma Prime, and the protocol is built on the EIP-4626 vault standard, which also underpins Ethereum-based staking products. The company’s Spiderchain architecture, operated by 16 independent entities including Galaxy, Alchemy, and Fireblocks, secures the network. If adoption grows, Botanix argues the system could make Bitcoin a productive, composable asset for decentralized finance, while reinforcing network consensus. This is a developing story.
