Bitcoin News Today: Bitcoin climbs 6.1% to $121,595 on ETF inflows as analysts eye MUTM for 15x gains

Bitcoin (BTC) rose 6.1% this week, reaching $121,595, driven by strong inflows into spot ETFs. On August 13, 2025, the market recorded $1.175 billion in ETF inflows, with BlackRock’s IBIT contributing $310 million to its $55 billion total asset pool [1]. Trading volume climbed 25% to $72.46 billion, signaling increased institutional participation. Technical indicators show BTC breaking through the $120,000 resistance level, with an RSI of 66 and support at $116,000 [1]. On-chain data reveals whale accumulation of 19,800 BTC, valued at $2.4 billion, while exchange reserves hit a three-year low, indicating a tightening supply [1].

Amid this bullish momentum, analysts are turning their attention to altcoins with high growth potential, particularly Mutuum Finance’s MUTM token. MUTM is currently trading at $0.035 in its presale, with projections suggesting up to 15x gains as the market rotates into high-upside altcoins [1]. The token is in Phase 6 of its presale, having raised over $14.43 million from more than 15,300 holders, with 17% of its 170 million Phase 6 allocation already sold [1]. The price is set to rise by 15% in Phase 7, making timing a critical factor for potential buyers.

Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is gaining traction for its innovative approach to decentralized stablecoin and lending. Unlike traditional stablecoins that rely on market forces to adjust interest rates, MUTM’s stablecoin uses governance-set rates to maintain its $1 peg. If the price fluctuates, the system adjusts borrowing rates to stabilize supply and demand. This mechanism creates a predictable revenue stream for lenders and lower costs for borrowers, a unique balance in the DeFi lending space [1]. The stablecoin is backed by overcollateralized assets such as ETH and is minted only by approved issuers, ensuring risk control from the outset.

MUTM’s platform also features dual lending models—peer-to-contract (P2C) and peer-to-peer (P2P)—offering flexibility and efficiency. The P2C model allows lenders to deposit into a pooled liquidity system and earn algorithmically adjusted interest, while the P2P model lets users set their own rates. The platform plans to integrate a Layer-2 solution to improve transaction speed and reduce fees, addressing a key pain point in the DeFi space [1].

The project has undergone a CertiK audit and received a Token Scan score of 95 and a Skynet score of 78, reinforcing its technical credibility [1]. Additionally, it has launched a $50,000 bug bounty program with rewards based on severity and a $100,000 giveaway for 10 winners to boost community engagement.

For investors, the potential is striking. A $1 million allocation at $0.035 secures 28.57 million MUTM tokens. If the price reaches $0.50 by late 2025—a realistic target according to the project’s roadmap—this stake would be worth $14.28 million [1]. The roadmap is structured into four phases: introduction and compliance setup, core development and analytics tools, beta testing and audit finalization, and full launch with multi-chain expansion and institutional partnerships [1].

MUTM’s growth is further supported by upcoming exchange listings on major platforms such as Binance, KuCoin, Coinbase, MEXC, and Kraken, which will significantly enhance liquidity and visibility [1]. Additionally, a portion of the platform’s revenue from lending and borrowing will be used to buy back MUTM tokens, creating upward pressure on the price over time.

Analysts are increasingly optimistic about MUTM’s potential, citing its strong fundamentals, robust security measures, and clear utility. As ETF optimism continues to drive Bitcoin higher, the market is beginning to look beyond the largest cryptocurrency for the next wave of returns [1]. MUTM is now among the tokens positioned to deliver substantial gains, particularly for early entrants in its presale.
