Bitcoin’s recent surge to a historic high underscores its evolving role as a digital asset in today’s financial landscape. Investors are increasingly viewing Bitcoin as a hedge against economic uncertainty,
Trump-backed crypto project World Liberty Financial purchased 636,961 BUILDon tokens in support of the project. After the purchase, the token shot up by nearly 530%. According to data from CoinMarketCap, the B token has jumped by more than 533% in the past 24 hours. It is currently trading hands at $0.21. Not only that, the token’s daily trading volume soared alongside its recent price jump, rising by 725% to around $770 million. The token’s recent performance high was likely fueled by the recent investment made by World Liberty Financial. On May 22, the Trump -backed crypto project announced that it had purchased a large chunk of B tokens in order to support the BUILDon team. “We just bought some $B to support the BUILDon team. Love seeing projects choose $USD1 as their base pair — faster settlement, deeper liquidity, and growing every day,” wrote WLFI on its recent post .

WLFI used their newly launched stablecoin USD1 to make the token swap that was executed on PancakeSwap . BUILDon’s support for World Liberty Financial’s USD1 Before World Liberty Financial made their recent investment into B tokens, the BUILDon project had initially announced it would provide support for USD1 as a core trading pair on May 15. This marked the the first step for B to become linked with the WLFI ecosystem. The announcement was followed by BUILDon declaring a trading competition for USD1 that was held in partnership with the Fourmeme platform. It boasted a prize pool of up to $200,000, provided by the BUILDon project team. On the same day as the WLFI token purchase, B declared that it would help to develop USD1 on BNB Chain ( BNB ). “Through this effort, we aim to enhance the utility and liquidity of USD1, contributing to the advancement of authentic and sustainable decentralized finance,” wrote BUILDon in its recent post. Most recently, World Liberty Financial approved a proposal to airdrop a small amount of USD1 to WLFI token holders. Although the proposal does not contain the exact date for the airdrop, it did state the amount would be calculated based on the number of eligible wallets in the ecosystem and the budget available.

Bitcoin sees growing adoption as global investors increasingly choose BTC over other options.
The world of crypto has seen many projects go from being ignored to becoming top performers overnight. Coins like MATIC, ADA, and SOL were once trading for fractions of a cent before skyrocketing to multi-dollar valuations. Now, one project, Mutuum Finance (MUTM) , is catching serious attention from crypto analysts and early investors. With the token now priced at $0.03 in Phase 5 of its presale, many are asking the same question—could Mutuum reach $5 by mid-2025? Mutuum Finance: More Than Just a DeFi Token Mutuum Finance is not another basic token with flashy marketing and no real use. It is a powerful decentralized, non-custodial liquidity protocol that lets users lend and borrow digital assets. What makes Mutuum different is its dual system. Users can participate in pool-based (P2C) or peer-to-peer (P2P) lending, depending on their goals and risk tolerance. This flexibility puts it miles ahead of traditional DeFi platforms. Lenders simply deposit assets like ETH into Mutuum’s liquidity pools and start earning interest. Borrowers, on the other hand, can get overcollateralized loans without needing to sell their assets. For example, if you deposit $1,000 in ETH into Mutuum, you can generate a passive income annually—based on the pool’s utilization rate—without losing your ETH exposure. Price Journey So Far and What It Means Mutuum started its presale at just $0.01. Now, with the token in Phase 5 priced at $0.03, early buyers have already seen a 200% increase. That’s no small feat—and the price is set to rise further with each upcoming phase. By the time it reaches Phase 11 at $0.06, new buyers will be paying double the current price. That’s why now is the best time to get in. Waiting means less profit potential and missing out on what could be a life-changing investment. More than 500 million tokens have already been sold, and the number of holders has risen to 10,950. These growing metrics reflect strong community support and increasing investor confidence. If history repeats itself—as it did with MATIC, SOL, and ADA—Mutuum could be the next big winner in the DeFi space. Strong Token Utility and Passive Income for Holders One of the best parts of Mutuum is how useful the MUTM token is within the ecosystem. Token holders who participate in Mutuum’s safety module by staking mtTokens can receive passive dividends. These dividends come from the protocol’s revenue and are used to buy MUTM from the open market. The bought tokens are then distributed to stakers. This setup rewards long-term believers in the project and helps stabilize the price. mtTokens are given to you when you deposit into Mutuum. These represent your share in the pool and automatically grow in value over time as interest is earned. This way, you’re not just holding a token—you’re constantly earning from it. Real Use, Real Growth Mutuum is solving a real problem in the DeFi world—providing flexible, secure, and profitable lending and borrowing. Unlike banks or centralized crypto platforms, Mutuum lets users keep control over their funds. All deposits stay in smart contracts that no one else can touch. Your assets stay yours. The interest rate system is also brilliant. When the demand for borrowing rises, so does the interest rate. That means lenders get higher returns when the platform is in heavy use. And for borrowers, using crypto as collateral means they can unlock liquidity without selling their holdings. This model allows traders to launch strategies, hedge risk, or grab opportunities in the market without giving up on potential gains from tokens like ETH, BTC, or stablecoins. A Pattern We’ve Seen Before Remember when MATIC was below $0.03? Back in early 2020, it was trading in this range before rocketing past $2 just a year later. SOL was below $0.50 in mid-2020 before flying past $200. These 100x to 200x gains are not just hype—they happened, and they happened fast. Now, analysts are seeing a similar setup with Mutuum Finance. At $0.03, MUTM is still incredibly undervalued given its fundamentals, use cases, and roadmap. Some crypto forecasters suggest a rise to $5 by mid-2025 is not only possible—it could even be conservative if key milestones are hit. With more listings on the horizon, new strategic partnerships in the pipeline, and growing buzz around DeFi protocols with real income opportunities, Mutuum is in a prime position. And those who get in at $0.03 might one day look back and wonder how this price point was even possible. Don’t Miss the Moment With every new presale phase, the price of MUTM increases. Phase 6 will push the price to $0.035, followed by $0.04, $0.045, and finally $0.06 in Phase 11. The earlier you join, the bigger your profit margin. Waiting could mean entering the market when most of the upside is already priced in. The difference between Phase 1 at $0.01 and today’s price at $0.03 is already 200%. Investors who bought early have tripled their money—and the presale is only halfway through. That should tell you something: the real profits go to early adopters. Mutuum Finance is more than just a token. It’s a growing ecosystem with real-world applications and a token that does more than just sit in your wallet. If you believe in smart DeFi, passive income, and being early in the next big thing, MUTM is worth a serious look. Because if history is anything to go by, $0.03 might one day look like a bargain. And for those who act now, a $5 price tag in 2025 could be more than just a dream—it could be your reality.

Bitcoin pierced the $111,000 threshold for the first time in history on May 22, printing an intraday high of $111,867 on Binance, giving the asset a market capitalization of roughly $2.22 trillion, or two-thirds of the entire crypto market. The latest leg of the rally is being propelled by a tight confluence of catalysts that span institutional flows, corporate balance-sheet accumulation, and mounting macro-economic stress. #1 Spot Bitcoin ETF Inflows From Wall Street to BlackRock’s vaults, US spot Bitcoin ETFs have turned into a one-way conduit of fresh capital. Farside Investors tallied $607.1 million of net subscriptions on 21 May, of which a blockbuster $530.6 million flowed into BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT). That pushed the 11-day haul to more than $2.7 billion and lifted cumulative net inflows across the complex past $42 billion—an unprecedented pace for a six-month-old asset class. Related Reading: Bitcoin Breakout Narrative Explodes As Japan’s Bond Market Collapses “Over $500mil into iShares Bitcoin ETF…Nearly $2 bil just over past week or so. Inflows 26 of past 27 days. *$7+bil* in new $$$ overall. Given trading volume today, expect these inflow numbers to increase,” ETF Store president Nate Geraci posted on X. Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas added that IBIT is posting “its 2nd biggest volume day ever today. Classic feeding frenzy in effect, new ATHs will do that, e.g. last time traded this much was 1/23 (last ATH). All the btc ETFs are elevated, most gonna see 2x their average. Flows incoming.” #2 Bitcoin Treasury Companies Parallel to the ETF torrent, a new cohort of listed companies is adopting Bitcoin as a primary treasury asset. Besides Strategy and Metaplanet, these companies bought billions of dollars in Bitcoin in recent weeks. Cantor Fitzgerald’s $3.6 billion SPAC deal will take Twenty One Capital public with more than 42,000 BTC on its books, backed by Tether, Bitfinex and SoftBank. Strive Asset Management is merging with Asset Entities on Nasdaq to create what it calls the first publicly traded asset-manager-led Bitcoin treasury company, equipped with a live $1 billion shelf to keep buying coin. Battery-tech firm KULR Technology Group lifted its stack to 800 BTC this week after a fresh $9 million purchase. Elsewhere, India’s Jetking Infotrain, Indonesia’s DigiAsia Corp, Brazil’s fintech Méliuz, France’s state lender Bpifrance and David Bailey’s Nakamoto Holdings, now merging with KindlyMD to build “the first decentralised Bitcoin treasury network,” among others, all unveiled accumulation strategies within the past month. Collectively these firms represent billions of dollars in spot, largely price-insensitive demand. #3 The New Narrative: A Brewing Macro Storm The macro backdrop is pouring fuel on the fire. Japanese super-long government bonds—once synonymous with near-zero yields—have gone bid-less, sending the 30-year JGB yield to a record 3.14 %. The move tightens the feedback loop linking Tokyo and Washington: Japanese institutions have been among the largest foreign holders of US Treasuries, and analysts warn that disorderly JGB liquidations could force sales of US debt just as the Treasury must refinance roughly $8 trillion this year.

Macro guru Raoul Pal said: “Bond yields are going up. Normally that’s not a good thing… But inflation is falling all the time. The story is liquidity. There’s a lack of liquidity in the bond market, and when yields get too high the government’s reaction function is always and in every case to print more money.” Global liquidity dynamics add to the case. Global M2—aggregating the money stock in the US, euro-area, China and Japan—bottomed late last year and has risen 3–4 % year-to-date, according to multiple trackers. Bitcoin price inflections typically lag global-M2 turns by about three months; the current rally arrived almost on schedule. As crypto analyst Kevin (@Kev_Capital_TA) observed on X, “Dollar goes down, global liquidity rises, BTC goes higher.” For some market veterans, the price action signals a deeper behavioural shift. “We are watching BTC transform from a risk-on asset to a risk-off asset,” Multicoin Capital co-founder Tushar Jain wrote after Wednesday’s bond rout and dollar sell-off. “Today we saw further proof that the government cannot cut the budget deficit. The market reacted by selling US treasuries, selling USD, selling equities, and buying BTC. The transformation is not yet complete. It will take more days like this to convince the market that BTC is a risk off asset. Like most big changes, this will happen slowly and then suddenly,” Jain added.

Russia seems reluctant to pursue peace at the moment as the country is widely believed to be planning a new summer offensive in Ukraine to consolidate territorial gains in the southern and eastern parts of the nation. Moscow’s increasing economic and military pressures at home could be the factors that drive Russia to the negotiating table. The country has shown little appetite for peace negotiations with Ukraine despite Russia making a show of what war analysts described as a performative ceasefire. There have also been a number of attempts by U.S. President Donald Trump to persuade Russian President Vladimir Putin to talk to Kyiv. Russia’s struggling war economy might be what drives it to negotiate Moscow’s alleged plans to push an offensive this summer in Ukraine to capture the eastern part of the country could give Russia more leverage in any future talks. The country’s economic and military strain, ranging from supplies of military hardware and recruitment of soldiers to sanctions on revenue-generating exports like oil, might be what eventually drives Russia to the negotiating table. Jack Watling, senior research fellow for Land Warfare at the Royal United Service Institute (RUSI) in London, said in an analysis Tuesday that Russia will seek to intensify offensive operations to build pressure during negotiations. He also believes that the country’s pressure cannot be sustained indefinitely. “At the same time, while Russia can fight another two campaign seasons with its current approach to recruitment, further offensive operations into 2026 will likely require further forced mobilization, which is both politically and economically challenging.” -Jack Watling, Researcher for Land Warfare at the Royal United Service Institute. Watling also noted that Moscow’s military equipment stockpiles left over from the Soviet era, including tanks, artillery, and infantry fighting vehicles, will be running out between now and mid-fall. He believes that Russia’s ability to replace losses will be entirely dependent on what it can produce from scratch. Russia’s economy slows amid continued war tensions The country has signaled a decline in its war-focused economy, which has faced international sanctions as well as homegrown pressures largely resulting from war. Russia is facing rampant inflation and high food and production costs that even Putin described as alarming. Russia’s central bank (CBR) has maintained high interest rates (at 21%) to lower the inflation rate, which was at 10.2% in April. The bank acknowledged earlier this month that a disinflationary process is underway. The CBR also argued that a prolonged period of tight monetary policy is still required for inflation to return to its target of 4% in 2026. Liam Peach, senior emerging markets economist at Capital Economics, said last week the sharp slowdown in Russian GDP from 4.5% year-on-year in the fourth quarter to 1.4% in the first quarter is consistent with a sharp fall in output. He also believes the data suggested that Moscow’s economy may be heading for a continued sharp downturn than was expected. Peach noted that a sharp drop in GDP growth surprised them since they had expected a slowdown to take hold in 2025. He argued that a technical recession is possible over the first half of this year, and GDP growth over 2025 as a whole could come in significantly below their current forecast of 2.5%. Alexander Kolyandr, a senior fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis, maintained that the growth that remains in the Russian economy is concentrated in manufacturing, especially the defense sector and related industries. He noted in an analysis for CEPA that Russia’s economy is cooling after three years of militarizing the country. Kolyandr said the slowdown in inflation, less borrowing by companies and consumers, declining imports, industrial output, and consumer spending all pointed to the slowdown continuing. The Economic Development Ministry also predicted that Russia’s economic growth will slow from 4.3% in 2024 to 2.5% this year. Kolyandr added that the economy is not demobilizing, but it is just running out of steam. According to him, bad decisions by policymakers, a further dip in oil prices, or carelessness with inflation could result in dire consequences for Moscow.
