Shiba Inu Stabilizes as Mutuum Finance (MUTM) Presale Nears Sell-Out at $0.035
Shiba Inu (SHIB) shows signs of stabilization after recent panic selling: on‑chain liquidity and trading volumes remain intact and price action is compressing around a local floor rather than accelerating lower. Traders are reallocating capital toward early‑stage DeFi projects with asymmetric upside. Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is the most prominent example cited — its presale is in Phase 6 at $0.035 and reportedly ~98% sold, having raised roughly $19.5 million with about 18.5k holders. Phase 7 is expected after sell‑out, at $0.04, with promoters citing a projected launch price of $0.06 (implying large percentage gains from earliest presale pricing). Mutuum’s roadmap targets a V1 protocol launch on Sepolia testnet in Q4 2025 covering liquidity pools, mtTokens, debt tokens, a liquidator bot and initial assets like ETH and USDT. The project highlights an independent Halborn security audit and code lock, and uses community incentives (daily top‑50 leaderboard, $500 daily MUTM awards, a $100k giveaway) to drive presale momentum. Key trading takeaways for crypto traders: presale liquidity, tokenomics, audit status and phase‑based price increases are critical risk factors; the $0.035 window is time‑sensitive while the presale remains near sell‑out. This is promotional material—perform due diligence and consider the elevated short‑term volatility and smart‑contract risks before participating.
Bullish
The news is bullish for MUTM specifically. The presale nearing sell‑out (~98%) at $0.035, reported $19.5M raised and growing holder count are direct signals of strong buyer demand and scarcity ahead of a planned price step (Phase 7 at $0.04) and a marketed launch price of $0.06. These dynamics typically create short‑term upward pressure on token expectations and secondary‑market listings once available. The Halborn audit and code lock reduce (but do not eliminate) smart‑contract risk, making participation slightly less risky than unaudited presales. Community incentives and active marketing can amplify demand and volatility around listing. For SHIB, the report notes stabilization rather than immediate bullish momentum; funds shifting into early presales could limit SHIB inflows, so its near‑term price catalyst is neutral to mildly bearish relative to MUTM. Traders should treat MUTM as high‑upside, high‑risk: potential for rapid gains on listing if liquidity and market interest persist, but significant short‑term volatility and execution risk remain. Key trade considerations: monitor presale liquidity/vesting, audit reports and deployment milestones, phase sell‑out timing, and secondary market orderbook depth before sizing positions.
