Low-Cost Crypto Tokens Under $0.50 Attract Investors Amid Market Shift

Cryptocurrency investors are showing heightened interest in low-cost tokens under $0.50, with many analysts and market observers suggesting these assets could lead market gains by 2025. Among the most frequently highlighted projects are Mutuum Finance (MUTM) and Shiba Inu (SHIB), both of which are generating traction based on their utility, fundraising success, and community engagement.

Mutuum Finance is currently in presale Stage 6, offering tokens at $0.035, which is projected to increase to $0.04 in the next phase—a 14.29% jump. The project has already raised over $14.4 million with more than 15,220 holders, reflecting strong investor confidence. Mutuum Finance operates as a P2C and P2P lending protocol, providing users with high-yield opportunities while maintaining full control over their funds. The platform is also set to launch a USD-pegged stablecoin on the Ethereum blockchain, fully collateralized and audited by CertiK, which has assigned it a trust score of 95.0 out of 100 [1].

In addition to its presale momentum, Mutuum Finance has launched a $100,000 token giveaway to further build its community. Ten investors stand to win $10,000 each in MUTM, demonstrating the project’s commitment to long-term engagement and organic growth. The platform also initiated a $50,000 USDT bug bounty program with CertiK, encouraging cybersecurity experts to identify and report vulnerabilities [1].

Shiba Inu (SHIB), a well-known meme coin, remains a focal point in the under-$0.50 category. Currently trading at approximately $0.00001361, SHIB has shown resilience in the $0.0000127–$0.0000137 range. Analysts suggest that if support holds and community engagement remains strong, SHIB could potentially move toward $0.0000150–$0.0000170 in the near term [1].

The growing interest in under-$0.50 tokens is also being driven by projects like Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER), Maxi Doge (MAXI), and Snorter Bot (SNORT), which are leveraging low entry prices and high staking rewards to attract retail and institutional investors. For example, HYPER offers a staking yield of 130% APY and has raised $9.34 million through its presale. MAXI, priced at $0.000252, offers up to 432% APY during its presale phase and plans for futures-exchange listings. Meanwhile, SNORT, a Telegram-based trading bot, has seen an 8.34% price increase and offers 147% APY in staking rewards [1].

These projects collectively represent a broader trend in the cryptocurrency market—investors are prioritizing tokens with utility, scalability, and strong community backing. As Bitcoin consolidation continues, capital is increasingly flowing into altcoins that offer real-world applications, further supporting the potential for explosive gains in the coming year.
