A wave of new capital and tokenomics could see two select cryptos making drastic gains in 2025.

Hedera (HBAR) has taken in $1.85 million in spot inflows this week, its largest capital injection in over a week of persistent selling.

In the dynamic landscape of cryptocurrencies, new capital flows and innovative tokenomics are shaping the fortunes of digital assets. As Hedera (HBAR) receives a wave of capital with over $1.85 million in a week despite recent sell-off pressure, another asset is making waves in the presale arena. Mutuum Finance (MUTM), the decentralized lending and borrowing protocol, has seen impressive demand for its tokens, evident in the almost sold-out Phase 3 of the presale.

As investors search for the next big crypto in 2025, both assets are on the radar. However, the structured growth mechanisms and presale discounts of Mutuum Finance (MUTM) are generating unprecedented interest as time runs out to join the presale.

Hedera (HBAR) Technicals Show Strength As Fresh Capital Flows In

Dumpers took a break this week as Hedera (HBAR) saw a reversal of outflows with traders returning to the asset. After a week-long struggle saw outflows top $10 million, the narrative shifted. This time around, the altcoin is going for $0.19 after a period of selling pressure.

Recent flows are in line with BoP reading of 0.62 indicating prevailing buyer activity. At the time of writing, traders are eyeing a $0.22 resistance level that, if broken, could lead HBAR to $0.26.

For context, there are still risks. Any profit-taking or sudden sell-offs could, of course, reverse gains and push HBAR back to its $0.17 support floor.

Despite bullish technicals, the altcoin’s dependence on broader market sentiment makes its short-term trajectory uncertain.

Mutuum Finance (MUTM)

Having just entered Phase 3 of its presale, Mutuum Finance (MUTM) tokens are priced at $0.02, and the platform raised over $4.1 million so far with over 6,300 investors.

Phase 3 is filling quickly with Phase 4 to follow, and a 25% increase in price to $0.025. Notably, early participants can make a 200% return at launch when tokens will be listed at $0.06.

If projections are realized in the near term, conservative estimates have targeted $3.50, representing a 17,400% increase on the current price.

This growth is underpinned by Mutuum Finance (MUTM)’s revenue-driven token buy pressure mechanism, ensuring a steady stream of demand that contributes to long-term price stability.

Segregation of duties is also critical in DeFi protocols to mitigate the potential for abuse or mishandling of funds. In the case of Mutuum Finance (MUTM), a third party will be performing the smart contract audit.

Unlike speculative cousins, Mutuum Finance (MUTM) weaves decentralized lending and borrowing with real-world due. Users deposit assets such as ETH or DAI in exchange for interest-earning mtTokens, whose value appreciates over time and can be traded across DeFi platforms.

Overcollaterised loans act as a liquidity provider for borrowers while simultaneously insulating against default and ensuring ecosystem stability. The model has brought in liquidity providers looking for passive income as the interest rates dynamically change based on market conditions. This means that there is a constant demand for MUTM tokens, as stakers gain from redistributed buyback volumes.

Scarcity will be ensured post-launch as it only allocates 20% of MUTM at the presale stage. The rest of the tokens are assigned to partnerships, liquidity pools and platform development, thus their long-term incentives alignment. The phased structure of the presale currently in its third stage increases prices incrementally, rewarding early participants disproportionately.

Phase 3 is almost sold out, and waiting to enter could result in missing out on the best prices available ahead of exchange listings.

Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is committed to closing a smart contract audit with Certik. When the Audit is completed, results will be posted via official communication channels — this is part of ensuring transparency. The move comes in response to community feedback, according to the team who is committed to reducing vulnerabilities and building trust.

As 2025 approaches, HBAR (Hedera) and Mutuum Finance (MUM) offer significantly different risk-reward profiles. As HBAR struggles with market volatility, Mutuum Finance (MUM) presale demand and deflationary systems set it up for continued liquidity growth. MUM is peace of mind while the rest of the space is burning, and for those looking mat asymmetric returns, Phase 3 of the presale marks one of the last chances to grab it below $0.25. For anyone aiming for 12x returns or more, time is running out.
