This represents the first cryptocurrency to explicitly promise specific percentage returns (71.43%) while incorporating religious terminology ('Mutuum' refers to interest-free loans in religious law) to mask what essentially amounts to usury. The combination of religious language, guaranteed profits, and mass participation (14,500 investors) creates an unprecedented spiritual-financial deception.
DeFi's False Prophet: $13.7M Mutuum Token Mimics Biblical Usury
📰 What Happened
Mutuum Finance, a new DeFi cryptocurrency project, has raised over $13.7 million from 14,500 investors through a presale promising guaranteed returns of 71.43%. Currently in phase 6 of its presale at $0.035 per token, the project advertises a 'dual lending feature' and plans to increase prices to $0.04 in phase 7. The project has also launched a $50,000 bug bounty program while promoting alongside established cryptocurrency Solana (SOL), which trades at $188.46.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The Mutuum Finance project exhibits three key markers of end-times financial deception: 1) The use of religious terminology ('Mutuum') to disguise usurious practices, echoing 2 Timothy 3:5's warning about having a 'form of godliness' 2) The specific promise of 71.43% returns appeals to greed, fulfilling 2 Peter 2:3's warning about 'false teachers' exploiting with 'deceptive words' 3) The rapid accumulation of $13.7M from 14,500 investors demonstrates the mass scale of deception warned about in Matthew 24:24. The project's combination of religious facade, guaranteed profits, and bug bounty program creates a sophisticated spiritual counterfeit.
