Investing in This Crypto Now Is Like Buying XRP in 2021 – Here’s Why

Catching XRP early in 2021 was the kind of timing most investors chase—but chances like that are rare. In a market crowded with short-lived launches and empty promises, finding a project with real traction and clear utility is the exception, not the rule.

That’s why many in the space are paying attention to Mutuum Finance (MUTM). It isn’t a meme play destined to fade; it’s a utility-first project building a lending-and-borrowing protocol designed for everyday crypto users. The thesis is simple: strong fundamentals plus upcoming catalysts can create the kind of “pre-move” window that defined XRP’s early entry.

What is Mutuum Finance

Mutuum Finance is a decentralised lending and borrowing protocol set to launch on Ethereum. All activity settles on-chain via autonomous smart contracts, so users keep custody of their assets and transactions execute programmatically, no middlemen. What differentiates Mutuum is the way its pieces fit together: pooled and peer-to-peer lending markets, an interest-bearing mtToken model, and a fully over-collateralised stablecoin designed to hold a 1:1 USD peg.

When you deposit assets, the protocol mints mtTokens, mtETH, mtUSDT, and so on, that mirror your balance and accrue yield over time. These tokens are your claim on the position: redeem them to receive the original asset plus the interest earned, or keep holding them and let the value compound. It’s a transparent, flexible way to earn on deposits while staying in control of your crypto.

MUTM: The Native Utility Token

At the core of the Mutuum ecosystem lies MUTM, the platform’s native ERC-20 utility token built on Ethereum. With a fixed supply of 4 billion tokens, 45% of the supply is currently available for purchase during the ongoing presale.

MUTM is used as the main reward and utility asset within the protocol. When users deposit into the protocol, they receive mtTokens, which can then be staked to earn rewards. Through a buy-and-distribute mechanism, protocol revenue is used to purchase MUTM from the open market and distribute it to mtToken stakers, creating a sustainable and aligned incentive structure.

The token is currently priced at $0.035, but this won’t last long. The presale is already 60% sold out, and the next phase will raise the price to $0.04, prompting many investors to buy in now.

Those who participated in Phase 1 are already seeing over 250% gains, but it’s still early. Even at the current price, with a projected launch price of $0.06, buyers can expect nearly 2x returns. Some crypto analysts believe the listing price could exceed $0.06, as MUTM is set to launch on DEXs and multiple tier-1 and tier-2 CEXs, likely driving increased demand.

To put it in perspective, a $2,500 investment in Phase 1 would now be worth approximately $8,750, a profit of $6,250 — and this is before the token officially launches.

Recent Milestones and Protocol Launch

The Mutuum team has confirmed via their official channels that development on the lending and borrowing protocol is progressing steadily. V1 is scheduled to launch on the Sepolia testnet in Q4 2025, marking a key milestone in the rollout. This testnet phase will validate the full architecture, give the community hands-on access, and initiate audits ahead of mainnet deployment.

The mainnet launch will begin on Ethereum, supporting ETH and USDT for lending, borrowing, and collateralization.

The V1 protocol includes all essential modules for a fully functional lending and borrowing system. Users will be able to deposit ETH or USDT and receive interest-bearing mtTokens, while borrowers can take loans based on live interest rates that adjust with market activity. A secure price oracle ensures accurate collateral valuations, and an automated liquidator protects the system by closing risky positions. Governance is handled by a 3-of-5 multisig with a 24-hour timelock, and part of the protocol fees will be used to buy MUTM from the market and reward stakers.

The team will provide regular updates, show visible testnet progress, and selectively open-source non-sensitive modules to allow the community to track development in real time. As of today, Mutuum Finance has raised over $17 million and surpassed 16,800 MUTM holders, signaling strong momentum and community engagement ahead of launch.

Conclusion

With a fully designed protocol nearing testnet, listings planned across major exchanges, and over $17 million already raised, Mutuum is quickly establishing itself as a serious utility project in the crypto space. The current presale phase offers one of the last chances to secure MUTM tokens at $0.035 before the price increases. Early participants have already seen substantial returns, and with the token set to launch at $0.06 or higher, the window of opportunity is closing fast. As development milestones continue to be hit and demand grows, those who wait may find themselves entering at a much higher cost, or missing out entirely.

Google's AP2 protocol has been released. Does encrypted AI still have a chance?

Google's AP2 protocol has been released. Does encrypted AI still have a chance?

Following the MCP and A2A protocols, the AI Agent market has seen another blockbuster arrival: the Agent Payments Protocol (AP2), developed by Google. This will clearly further enhance AI Agents' autonomous multi-tasking capabilities, but the unfortunate reality is that it has little to do with web3AI. Let's take a closer look: What problem does AP2 solve? Simply put, the MCP protocol is like a universal hook, enabling AI agents to connect to various external tools and data sources; A2A is a team collaboration communication protocol that allows multiple AI agents to cooperate with each other to complete complex tasks; AP2 completes the last piece of the puzzle - payment capability. In other words, MCP opens up connectivity, A2A promotes collaboration efficiency, and AP2 achieves value exchange. The arrival of AP2 truly injects "soul" into the autonomous collaboration and task execution of Multi-Agents. Imagine AI Agents connecting Qunar, Meituan, and Didi to complete the booking of flights, hotels, and car rentals, but then getting stuck at the point of "self-payment." What's the point of all that multitasking? So, remember this: AP2 is an extension of MCP+A2A, solving the last mile problem of AI Agent automated execution. What are the technical highlights of AP2? The core innovation of AP2 is the Mandates mechanism, which is divided into real-time authorization mode and delegated authorization mode. Real-time authorization is easy to understand. The AI Agent finds the product and shows it to you. The operation can only be performed after the user signs. Delegated authorization requires the user to set rules in advance, such as only buying the iPhone 17 when the price drops to 5,000. The AI Agent monitors the trigger conditions and executes automatically. The implementation logic is cryptographically signed using Verifiable Credentials (VCs). Users can set complex commission conditions, including price ranges, time limits, and payment method priorities, forming a tamper-proof digital contract. Once signed, the AI Agent executes according to the conditions, with VCs ensuring auditability and security at every step. Of particular note is the "A2A x402" extension, a technical component developed by Google specifically for crypto payments, developed in collaboration with Coinbase and the Ethereum Foundation. This extension enables AI Agents to seamlessly process stablecoins, ETH, and other blockchain assets, supporting native payment scenarios within the Web3 ecosystem. What kind of imagination space can AP2 bring? After analyzing the technical principles, do you think that's it? Yes, in fact, the AP2 is boring when it is disassembled alone. Its real charm lies in connecting and opening up the "MCP+A2A+AP2" technology stack, completely opening up the complete link of AI Agent's autonomous analysis+execution+payment. From now on, AI Agents can open up many application scenarios. For example, AI Agents for stock investment and financial management can help us monitor the market 24/7 and conduct independent transactions. Enterprise procurement AI Agents can automatically replenish and renew without human intervention. AP2's complementary payment capabilities will further expand the penetration of the Agent-to-Agent economy into more scenarios. Google obviously understands that after the technical framework is established, the ecological implementation must be relied upon, so it has brought in more than 60 partners to develop it, almost covering the entire payment and business ecosystem. Interestingly, it also involves major Crypto players such as Ethereum, Coinbase, MetaMask, and Sui. Combined with the current trend of currency and stock integration, the imagination space has been doubled. Is web3 AI really dead? Not entirely. Google's AP2 looks complete, but it only achieves technical compatibility with Crypto payments. It can only be regarded as an extension of the traditional authorization framework and belongs to the category of automated execution. There is a "paradigm" difference between it and the autonomous asset management pursued by pure Crypto native solutions. The Crypto-native solutions under exploration are taking the "decentralized custody + on-chain verification" route, including AI Agent autonomous asset management, AI Agent autonomous transactions (DeFAI), AI Agent digital identity and on-chain reputation system (ERC-8004...), AI Agent on-chain governance DAO framework, AI Agent NPC and digital avatars, and many other interesting and fun directions. Ultimately, once users get used to AI Agent payments in traditional fields, their acceptance of AI Agents autonomously owning digital assets will also increase. And for those scenarios that AP2 cannot reach, such as anonymous transactions, censorship-resistant payments, and decentralized asset management, there will always be a time for crypto-native solutions to show their strength? The two are more likely to be complementary rather than competitive, but to be honest, the key technological advancements behind AI Agents currently all come from web2AI, and web3AI still needs to keep up the good work!
