<\/u><\/p>\n

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Jan. 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mutuum Finance (MUTM)<\/u><\/a> continues to build momentum in the DeFi space after officially launching its V1 lending and borrowing protocol on the Sepolia testnet, a major step in its roadmap toward full mainnet deployment. The successful testnet rollout has not only validated the project\u2019s ongoing development but also caught the attention of larger investors \u2014 with one whale reportedly investing $175,000 in a single transaction during the ongoing presale.<\/p>\n

Whale Activity Boosts Presale Momentum<\/strong><\/p>\n

Following the announcement<\/u><\/a> of the protocol\u2019s testnet launch, Mutuum Finance\u2019s presale saw a noticeable increase in activity. According to project data, the whale\u2019s $175,000 purchase helped push the total funds raised to over $20.25 million, with nearly 19,000 holders now participating in the presale.<\/p>\n

Within 72 hours of the testnet announcement, the presale raised an additional $200,000, underscoring the renewed investor confidence in the project\u2019s tangible progress. The current presale price of MUTM stands at $0.04, while the confirmed launch price is $0.06, meaning tokens are still available at a discounted entry point before going live.<\/p>\n

Since the first presale phase at $0.01, MUTM has climbed 300%, and by launch, early buyers are expected to realize up to 500% in returns based on the projected listing price.<\/p>\n

V1 Protocol Launch: A Functional Testnet Experience<\/strong><\/p>\n

The V1 protocol<\/u><\/a>, now live on the Sepolia testnet, allows users to explore Mutuum Finance\u2019s core DeFi mechanisms using test tokens \u2014 not real assets. The team confirmed<\/u><\/a> the update via X, stating:<\/p>\n

\u201cMutuum Finance Protocol is now live. You can now access the app, explore the initial markets, and start testing the core lending & borrowing flows.\u201d<\/p>\n

The testnet currently supports ETH, USDT, LINK, and WBTC, enabling users to mint, supply, borrow, and stake assets in a simulated environment. Through this setup, participants can deposit test tokens to earn simulated yield, use those tokens as collateral, borrow testnet USDT, and even stake to experience the dividend distribution mechanism involving MUTM tokens.<\/p>\n

Each depositor can track their lending and borrowing performance through a portfolio dashboard, which provides real-time insights into their positions \u2014 ensuring full transparency and user control.<\/p>\n
