Ethereum Price Prediction: $5,000 in Sight, But One Crypto Under $1 Could Outshine ETH With 55x Gains

Source Cryptopolitan

As Ethereum eyes the $5,000 mark amid renewed bullish momentum across the crypto market, investors are turning their attention to emerging tokens that could shape the next big breakout. While ETH continues to dominate headlines, all eyes are now on Mutuum Finance (MUTM), a rising DeFi protocol under $1 that’s gaining serious traction for its innovative approach to  asset lending. Mutuum Finance is in Phase 6 and is presently valued at $0.035. 

The next price increase will bring Mutuum Finance to $0.04 in phase 7. Investors in this stage of investment will earn a return on investment of 71.43% once the token goes live at $0.06. Mutuum Finance (MUTM) presale has crossed more than $14.1 million raised and welcomed more than 14,900 distinct holders. Mutuum Finance could outpace Ethereum with 55x gains.

Ethereum Eyes $5,000 as Utility Tokens Gain Spotlight

Ethereum is currently trading around $3,660, consolidating above key support in the $3,550–$3,700 range after rebounding from recent highs near $3,800. Institutional flows remain robust, with over $150 million in spot ETH ETF inflows recently recorded, even as futures sentiment stays cautious, signaling renewed confidence in the network’s trajectory. 

Experts forecast ETH could reach $5,000 in Q3 2025, supported by shrinking exchange supply, DeFi demand, and upcoming protocol upgrades. While Ethereum remains central to the DeFi ecosystem, some investor attention is shifting toward smaller utility-based protocols like Mutuum Finance.

Mutuum Finance Reveals Phase 6 of Its Presale

Mutuum Finance has concluded Phase 5 of its presale and advanced into Phase 6, where its tokens can be bought at $0.035. Its next price increase will be another 14.29% to drive the price of its tokens up to $0.04.

Early adopters shall be rewarded with a 71.43% ROI when the token reaches $0.06 upon listing. MUTM presale has already raised over $14.1 million and accumulated over 14,900 individual holders.

Mutuum Finance Joins Hands with CertiK to Unveil $50K Bug Bounty

Mutuum Finance is in collaboration with CertiK to bring onboard a Bug Bounty Program. The program’s reward fund stands at $50,000 USDT. Four categories i.e. low, minor, major and critical will be rewarded under the program. The program shows the vision of Mutuum Finance to establish community-driven, secure and sustainable ecosystem.

The project has also been rigorously audited by Certik on user fund security and security of the blockchain. This is a milestone on Mutuum Finance’s vision for an open institution-grade DeFi protocol.

Mutuum Finance Launches MUTM Giveaway 

Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is giving away a $100,000 giveaway where the users will be rewarded in $10,000 MUTM tokens. Its recently launched leaderboard system will also reward the top 50 Mutuum Finance (MUTM) holders.

Ethereum may be headed toward $5,000, but the spotlight is starting to shift. With over $14.1 million already raised and nearly 14,900 early adopters on board, Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is positioning itself as a serious contender in the next wave of DeFi growth. 

Its unique dual-lending model, strong security focus, and early-stage value under $0.04 have investors eyeing potential 55x gains, returns that even ETH might struggle to match. As the next bull run gains momentum, it may not be the big names that lead, it could be the builders like MUTM.
