Mutuum Finance (MUTM) Presale Surges 20% as Phase 5 Ends, 1% Tokens Remain

Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is preparing for a significant price adjustment as its Phase 5 presale nears completion, with only 1% of tokens remaining. The current price of $0.03 per MUTM is set to increase by 20% to $0.035 in Phase 6, creating urgency for investors to secure tokens at the lower rate [1]. This surge is driven by the project’s $13.5 million raised from 14,300 participants in Phase 5, alongside its Layer-2 integration, which aims to enhance transaction efficiency and scalability [2]. The platform’s dual-lending model—Peer-to-Contract (P2C) and Peer-to-Peer (P2P)—has further distinguished it, offering passive income opportunities without asset liquidation. For example, a $4,000 LINK deposit in the P2C system could generate 10.2% annualized returns [1].

Security remains a cornerstone of MUTM’s strategy, with a CertiK audit achieving a TokenScan score of 95 and a Skynet score of 78. Additionally, a $50,000 bug bounty program and a $100,000 community giveaway reinforce trust in the platform’s resilience [1]. These measures contrast with Avalanche (AVAX), which remains below $24, trading at $23.85 as of July 24, 2025. AVAX has seen a 4.7% 24-hour decline and struggles to break through the $24-$26 resistance zone despite a 15.53% weekly gain [1]. Analysts attribute AVAX’s stagnation to weak buying pressure, evidenced by a declining active address count (down 12% to 28,000) and an RSI of 60 [1]. While partnerships with Mastercard and SMBC and the Maxwell Hardfork have not spurred a breakout, some analysts project a potential rise to $30-$50 by Q4 2025 if an ETF is approved, though competition from Solana and Polygon complicates this outlook [1].

Mutuum Finance’s presale momentum highlights its potential to outperform AVAX in the current cycle. A case study illustrates a $5,000 AVAX investment swapped for MUTM during Phase 1, which tripled to $15,000 as MUTM’s price climbed to $0.03 [2]. The platform’s planned beta launch coinciding with token listing will activate decentralized lending and staking services, further solidifying its value proposition [1]. However, the presale’s promotional language, such as “last chance” references, should be approached cautiously, as the 20% price hike is a structured presale mechanism, not a market forecast [3].

For AVAX, the $20-$22 support level is critical, with a break below this threshold potentially testing $18.90. Despite its $1.5 billion TVL in DeFi, AVAX’s inability to overcome technical barriers underscores the challenges of regaining 2023’s bullish momentum without a clear catalyst [1]. Meanwhile, MUTM’s presale-driven growth, combined with its Layer-2 upgrades and security focus, positions it as a compelling alternative in the DeFi space.
