This New Crypto Hits 300% While Altcoin Market Is Fading, Experts Explain

A curious dynamic is unfolding across the digital asset market. While many established altcoins are struggling to hold their value, a select group of new cheap crypto projects is moving in the opposite direction. This pattern aligns with what professional traders often describe as risk compression.

For most new cryptocurrencies, the highest risk exists at inception, when a project is little more than an idea. As technical milestones are reached and core systems go live, the fundamental risk to investor capital declines significantly. However, market pricing does not always immediately reflect this improved risk profile.

How Mutuum Finance (MUTM) Is Compressing its Risk Curve

The main example of such a risk-first development is Mutuum Finance (MUTM). The project is constructing a non-custodial lending and borrowing protocol. Instead of depending on hype on social media, Mutuum Finance has been working on clearing significant challenges. 

Mutuum Finance’s roadmap is unfolding quickly and has recently moved its V1 protocol to the Sepolia testnet. This action is an indication that the lending logic and pools of liquidity are working. The V1 launch represents a major technical milestone that transitions the project from a concept to a functional financial tool. This testnet version allows users to interact with the core liquidity pools using major assets such as ETH, USDT, LINK, and WBTC.

One of the central features of the V1 protocol is the mtToken system, which issues interest-bearing receipts to lenders. These tokens automatically grow in value as the protocol collects interest from borrowers, providing a seamless way to track yield without manual claiming. 

On the borrowing side, the system uses debt tokens to account for outstanding principal and interest in real-time. To ensure the entire ecosystem remains secure, the V1 release includes an automated liquidator bot that monitors user health factors. This bot is designed to manage risky positions and maintain protocol solvency by liquidating collateral if its value drops below a safe threshold. 

The team has eliminated the huge execution risk that kills most new projects by providing a work system prior to the mainnet launch. The roadmap has ceased to be a list of promises but a list of tested technical accomplishments.

The Growth Behind Mutuum Finance (MUTM)

Mutuum Finance (MUTM) has already collected more than $20.1 million dollars and gained more than 19, 00 holders. The project is in the presale Phase 7 and the price of MUTM is $0.04. It is increasing by a 3x mark of its initial price, but still at a significantly low point at the official launch price of $0.06. 

Of all the supply of 4 billion tokens, approximately 1.82 billion are distributed to the presale community. Over 840 million tokens are already sold. This extensive distribution is critical since it implies that the supply does not fall into the hands of very few people. A wide range of holder bases lowers the chances of huge price volatility. With the availability of the cheap tokens reduced to a drier, the chances of post-launch dump diminishes even more.

Security Stack and Long-Term Expectation

Mutuum Finance has also developed a multi-layered security stack to ensure further security to its users. CertiK, a major trust signal in the industry, has a high 90/100 score on the protocol. Also, the code has been reviewed in entirety by Halborn Security. 

The team also pays ethical hackers a bug bounty of $50,000 to guarantee the safety in the long-term. These layers serve a purpose of providing insurance to the protocol. They offer downside insurance that serious institutional investors seek to find before they can commit significant sums of money.

The last signs that a major reprice is imminent are now being realized. Big players are recording large-scale allocations of more than $100,000. Interaction is also good with the 24-hour leader board whereby the highest daily depositor receives a $500 in mUTM. 

Such a combination of known security, operational V1 testnet and increasing participation indicates that the risk-first one is coming to an exit. With the project being on the verge of its public launch, the market will eventually realign the price with the technical maturity of the project but at that point the current 50% MUTM discount will be gone.

The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points, and Powell said this was a risk management cut

PANews reported on September 18th, according to the Securities Times, that at 2:00 AM Beijing time on September 18th, the Federal Reserve announced a 25 basis point interest rate cut, lowering the federal funds rate from 4.25%-4.50% to 4.00%-4.25%, in line with market expectations. The Fed's interest rate announcement triggered a sharp market reaction, with the three major US stock indices rising briefly before quickly plunging. The US dollar index plummeted, briefly hitting a new low since 2025, before rebounding sharply, turning a decline into an upward trend. The sharp market volatility was closely tied to the subsequent monetary policy press conference held by Federal Reserve Chairman Powell. He stated that the 50 basis point rate cut lacked broad support and that there was no need for a swift adjustment. Today's move could be viewed as a risk-management cut, suggesting the Fed will not enter a sustained cycle of rate cuts. Powell reiterated the Fed's unwavering commitment to maintaining its independence. Market participants are currently unaware of the risks to the Fed's independence. The latest published interest rate dot plot shows that the median expectation of Fed officials is to cut interest rates twice more this year (by 25 basis points each), one more than predicted in June this year. At the same time, Fed officials expect that after three rate cuts this year, there will be another 25 basis point cut in 2026 and 2027.

SEC clears framework for fast-tracked crypto ETF listings

SEC clears framework for fast-tracked crypto ETF listings

The post SEC clears framework for fast-tracked crypto ETF listings appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Securities and Exchange Commission has approved new generic listing standards for spot crypto exchange-traded funds, clearing the way for faster approvals. Summary SEC has greenlighted new generic listing standards for spot crypto ETFs. Rule change eliminates lengthy case-by-case approvals, aligning crypto ETFs with commodity funds. Grayscale’s Digital Large Cap Fund and Bitcoin ETF options also gain approval. The U.S. SEC has approved new generic listing standards that will allow exchanges to fast-track spot crypto ETFs, marking a pivotal shift in U.S. digital asset regulation. According to a Sept. 17 press release, the SEC voted to approve rule changes from Nasdaq, NYSE Arca, and Cboe BZX, enabling them to list and trade commodity-based trust shares, including those holding spot digital assets, without submitting individual proposals for each product. A streamlined path for crypto ETFs Under the new rules, an ETF can be listed without SEC sign-off if its underlying asset trades on a market with surveillance-sharing agreements, has active CFTC-regulated futures contracts for at least six months, or already represents at least 40% of an existing listed ETF. This brings crypto ETFs in line with traditional commodity-based funds under Rule 6c-11, eliminating a process that could take up to 240 days. SEC chair Paul Atkins said the move was designed to “maximize investor choice and foster innovation” while ensuring the U.S. remains the leading market for digital assets. Jamie Selway, director of the division of trading and markets, called the framework “a rational, rules-based approach” that balances access with investor protection. First products already approved Alongside the new standards, the SEC cleared the listing of the Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund, which tracks spot assets based on the CoinDesk 5 Index. It also approved trading of options tied to the Cboe Bitcoin U.S. ETF Index and its mini version, with…
