SOL weekly jump to $198 highlights scalability, $0.035 project aims to outrun SOL

Solana (SOL)’s surge to $198 has once again reminded the market of how scalability fuels explosive growth. Traders watching crypto charts have seen how quickly narratives around speed and cost savings attract liquidity.

But while Solana (SOL) delivers throughput, a new entrant is preparing to deliver immediate product utility that will carry greater weight than scalability alone.

Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is currently in presale Phase 6 at $0.035, and by introducing a $1 stablecoin, a structured staking system through mtTokens, and a revenue-driven buyback mechanism, the project is positioning itself to outperform Solana (SOL)’s percentage gains before mid-2026.

Solana (SOL) surged 19%

Solana (SOL) surged 19.3% over the past week, reaching ~$198 as of August 26, 2025, with a 24-hour trading volume of $5.2 billion. The rally is driven by a 140% spike in DEX volume to $1.4 trillion and a 14% increase in DeFi TVL to $14 billion.

The Alpenglow upgrade, achieving 100ms finality, and whale accumulation of $200 million fuel bullish sentiment. 

Technical indicators show SOL breaking $188 resistance, with RSI at 66 and support at $185. Social media buzz highlights Solana (SOL)’s scalability and growing adoption.

Analysts project a $225 target if $211 clears, but macro pressures like US tariffs and a delayed ETF decision pose risks. A drop below $185 could test $170.

Mutuum Finance (MUTM): real utility from day one

The biggest question serious investors ask is not simply crypto is a good investment, but rather whether a project delivers tangible use from its first listing. Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is designed to answer that question directly.

The platform will launch with a $1 stablecoin that will be minted when users borrow against collateral and burned when loans are repaid.

This feature will inject real volume into the protocol immediately at expected listing, while also attracting institutional allocators who require stable cash management options.

Alongside the stablecoin, the project will feature mtTokens. When lenders deposit assets, they receive mtTokens such as mtSOL or mtBTC, which automatically grow in value as interest accrues.

For example, an allocator who places $19,500 worth of SOL into a liquidity pool at an average 15% APY under high utilization will receive mtSOL that represents their deposit plus yield, amounting to $2,900 in the first year. Borrowers will also benefit from the system’s design.

A LINK holder posting $14,000 as collateral at a 67% loan-to-value ratio will unlock $9,400 in liquidity, maintaining exposure to LINK price movements while accessing working capital.

In addition to P2C transactions, Mutuum Finance (MUTM) will offer P2P lending where rates are negotiated directly.

For instance, a PEPE lender setting a 23% APY for 20 days on $2,200 may tolerate higher volatility but stand to earn a stronger short-term yield, even with partial fills.

This mix of automated and negotiated lending ensures a diverse set of opportunities for both conservative and aggressive participants.

Roadmap, presale, and the path to outperformance

At the center of Mutuum Finance (MUTM)’s growth strategy is a four-phase roadmap. The current stage will continue to expand presale participation and marketing visibility, while later stages will finalize smart contracts, release a beta testnet, and prepare for live exchange listings.

The beta launch is expected to coincide with the project’s token listing, meaning BTC and SOL investors will be able to see live mechanics like stablecoin minting and borrowing activity almost immediately.

Presale momentum has already been substantial. Phase 6 is live at $0.035, with over $15.02 million generated, 27% of supply sold, and more than 15,750 holders.

The supply is capped at 4 billion tokens, and the token has already undergone a CertiK audit where Token Scan scored 95 and Skynet scored 78.

Phase 7 will lift the entry price to $0.040, and by the time of expected listing, the project will aim to demonstrate its audited infrastructure, a complete DeFi lending environment, and scalable Layer-2 integration that reduces costs compared to many Layer-1 solutions.

What makes the MUTM token structurally appealing is its redistribution system. A portion of revenue generated on the platform will be allocated for open-market buybacks of MUTM, which will then be distributed to those staking mtTokens in designated smart contracts.

This loop creates both consistent demand for the token and sustainable rewards for users. For investors who remember the sting of the last crypto crash, such a model is attractive because it ties token demand directly to platform activity rather than speculation alone.

The project also shows its commitment to security and transparency with a $50,000 bug bounty program, with rewards scaling based on severity, and a $100,000 giveaway that will award $10,000 worth of MUTM each to ten winners, further boosting engagement.

Final words

Investment examples already highlight why Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is being prioritized by forward-looking allocators.

A Phase 2 investor who rotated $5,000 from Solana (SOL) and Ethereum into MUTM at $0.015 has already seen strong multiples by Phase 6 pricing.

With expected listings on major exchanges like Binance, KuCoin, and Coinbase, combined with the introduction of its stablecoin, staking rewards, and buyback system, that position will likely grow even more valuable.

This is why projections for Mutuum Finance (MUTM) aim higher than the percentage growth seen in Solana (SOL).

While Solana (SOL)’s $198 milestone demonstrates throughput success, Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is preparing to deliver stablecoin circulation, Layer-2 efficiency, and visible product use cases from the very start.

As a result, the project is expected to outperform Solana (SOL) by mid-2026, not just as a speculative play, but as a functional and revenue-driven DeFi ecosystem.
