Crypto markets are gearing up for another explosive cycle, and the attention is shifting away from traditional meme coins like Shiba Inu (SHIB) towards the potential of DeFi newcomer Mutuum Finance (MUTM). This rapidly emerging $0.035 altcoin is gaining momentum due to its innovative DeFi protocol and growing adoption, positioning itself as a key player in the next bull cycle. While SHIB continues to attract attention with its ecosystem developments like ShibaSwap and Shibarium, investors are looking towards Mutuum Finance for potentially greater returns. 2021 saw SHIB hit a peak of $0.000086, but it remains at about $0.0000126 today. For SHIB to reach that level again, there would be need significant market demand or investor sentiment, or broader crypto bullishness. Nevertheless, the token continues to attract attention as a potential player in the next cycle.
