How to play in 2026? This is a question many people have been asking recently.

Let's look at the current situation—Ethereum's market cap has reached $360 billion, with a trading price close to $2,970; Cardano also has a market cap of $13.3 billion, with a price around $0.37. If these leading cryptocurrencies want to see a 1000% surge? Honestly, the difficulty level is skyrocketing.

On the other hand, emerging sectors are a different story. Take projects like Mutuum Finance, for example—people have different opinions about it. Why? Because the fundamentals are different. The MUTM token started at $0.01 and has already increased by 300%, now trading at $0.04, with a total supply of 4 billion tokens. This scale is completely different from mature projects.

More importantly, the product direction. Analysts generally favor its upcoming V1 lending protocol, innovative mechanisms like mtTokens, and the practicality driven by the buy-and-distribute system. Based on the current market cap, these features open up space for imagination for the project. Market optimism suggests that the MUTM price could surge to $0.40.

To put it simply, the growth potential has always been in areas that are not fully priced in yet. Mature coins have already gone through their growth phase, and new projects are the easier zones for nonlinear growth.
