Best Crypto For Long-Term Growth? BNB Whales Buy This New Cryptocurrency Before It Hits $1

Mega moves in crypto tend to begin in the same manner. These largest of the holders give up on what has already been run, and start accumulating positions in smaller assets that still have room to reprice. Such a change is often silent initially. It appears in watchlists, late-stage purchases and an increasing interest in projects that are leaving the build mode and entering release mode.

This is the context in which Binance Coin (BNB) and Mutuum Finance (MUTM) can be compared. BNB is already a giant. Mutuum Finance is developing, it is under $1, and it remains in the phase where milestones in advancement may alter the manner in which this market regards it.

Binance Coin (BNB)

Binance Coin (BNB) is at $900 and has a market capitalization of around $130B. It is also one of the largest altcoins and liquidity is profound. People who invested in BNB early were fond of the fact that the story of utility was understandable and the company could grow to its current size in a long duration.

It is just that initial rush that led to the current change in set up. BNB requires a gigantic capital increase to provide another scramble at a market capital of $130B. The chart is likely to slow down even in case the market becomes bullish with an asset that large.

Critics reckon that BNB would have a relative forward outlook in the period of 2026-2027 compared to smaller names. Even in a more conservative case, it is estimated that BNB could only handle a move that is approximately 1.3-1.8x unless the whole market is growing violently over the long term. 

Mutuum Finance (MUTM)

Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is a new developing cryptocurrency project working on a non custodial loaning and borrowing protocol. It is intended to allow clients to loan, borrow, and operate their collaterals under prescribed regulations. The project outlines the concept of a dual-market structure, which is to be used in addressing various lending requirements with the rise in adoption.

Good participation is also reported in Mutuum Finance. The latest sale data indicates that it has raised some $19.6M, approximately 18,700 holders, and just less than 822M MUTM were sold to date. MUTM has a price of $0.04 in presale Phase 7. It started selling in early 2025 at $0.01 and the increase to 0.04 signifies 300% increase in stages. Mutuum Finance also utilizes an official price at launch of the sale of $0.06 as a point of reference once the sale period is over.

Mutuum Finance reports that V1 Protocol is being developed first to Sepolia testnet and then to final mainnet, both of which will be described as coming soon. The Liquidity Pool, mtToken, Debt Token and a Liquidator Bot are noted as core V1 components and the initial assets are ETH, and USDT.

What Part of MUTM Resembles Early BNB?

It is not comparing itself to copying Binance. It is an early-stage organization. The optimal time of BNB was when the market began to consider its utility real and repeatable. Mutuum Finance is attempting to achieve the same level of trust, where a protocol is evaluated based on its ability to give rise to repeat use.

The comparison is brought up because there are three reasons. First is timing. Mutuum Finance is at its building stage. The token is valued at $0.04 and is yet to be fully utilized in the protocol. That provides it with a broader range of valuation as compared to a mature asset.

Second is utility design. A borrowing and lending protocol is a fundamental DeFi application that is being constructed by Mutuum Finance. Lending also can bring about continuous action since borrowers and lenders come back. This is unlike tokens that rely on narrative cycles.

Third is the demand model that is linked with protocol activity. Mutuum Finance explains a buy-and-distribute system under which part of the protocol fee is utilized to purchase MUTM in the open market. The MUTM that is acquired in the open market is re-distributed to consumers who mount mtTokens in the safety module. In case of an increase in the borrowing activity, fees may increase, and the model indicates repetition in the market buys.

Halborn Security Audit

According to Mutuum Finance, Halborn Security had its V1 lending and borrowing protocol audited by an auditor. It also quotes a CertiK token scan rating of 90/100 and a 50k bug bounty. These checkpoints are important in the case of a developing protocol since they remove the uncertainty surrounding the fundamental logic such as collateral handling and liquidations.

Market commentators believe that any early borrowing activity and fee generation as a result of V1 Protocol delivery could result in MUTM repricing significantly higher than the $0.06 reference point and begin to grow thereafter. 

On a bullish trend, it has been projected that MUTM could go 10x-15x as compared to the current price of $0.04 in the long run. This would put the token in the $0.40-$0.60 range in that model, and $1 as a subsequent marker in case adoption continues to follow a scaling pattern.

The conclusion is not that BNB is not doing well. It is that BNB is already huge. Mutuum Finance is still in the process of development, and it is standing at the window where milestones in executing it can adjust the market to its long-term growth.

Curve Finance Pitches Yield Basis, a $60M Plan to Turn CRV Tokens Into Income Assets

The post Curve Finance Pitches Yield Basis, a $60M Plan to Turn CRV Tokens Into Income Assets appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Curve Finance founder Michael Egorov unveiled a proposal on the Curve DAO governance forum that would give the decentralized exchange’s token holders a more direct way to earn income. The protocol, called Yield Basis, aims to distribute sustainable returns to CRV holders who stake tokens to participate in governance votes, receiving veCRV tokens in exchange. The plan moves beyond the occasional airdrops that have defined the platform’s token economy to date. Under the proposal, $60 million of Curve’s crvUSD stablecoin will be minted before Yield Basis starts up. Funds from selling the tokens will support three bitcoin-focused pools; WBTC, cbBTC and tBTC, each capped at $10 million. Yield Basis will return between 35% and 65% of its value to veCRV holders, while reserving 25% of Yield Basis tokens for the Curve ecosystem. Voting on the proposal runs from Sept. 17 to Sept. 24. The protocol is designed to attract institutional and professional traders by offering transparent, sustainable bitcoin yields while avoiding the impermanent loss issues common in automated market makers. Diagram showing how compounding leverage can remove risk of impermanent loss (CRV) Impermanent loss occurs when the value of assets locked in a liquidity pool changes compared with holding the assets directly, leaving liquidity providers with fewer gains (or greater losses) once they withdraw. The new protocol comes against a backdrop of financial turbulence for Egorov himself. The Curve founder has suffered several high-profile liquidations in 2024 tied to leveraged CRV purchases. In June, more than $140 million worth of CRV positions were liquidated after Egorov borrowed heavily against the token to support its price. That episode left Curve with $10 million in bad debt. Most recently, in December, Egorov was liquidated for 918,830 CRV (about $882,000) after the token dropped 12% in a single day. He later said on…
