Institution-level TAO investment channel opens, Bittensor welcomes new opportunities after halving

【Crypto World】Bittensor ecosystem welcomes major progress again. An institutional-grade asset management firm has launched the TAO trust product, allowing traditional investors to participate in the收益 of this decentralized AI project without directly holding tokens. The product is traded on the OTC market, with its price实时 linked to industry mainstream reference prices.

The timing coincides exactly with a关键时刻 for TAO—the mid-December halving event just passed, causing the network发行量 to瞬间 halve by 50%. This setup is very similar to Bitcoin, directly boosting scarcity expectations. The market response was also very enthusiastic: TAO’s price once surged by 34%, even touching the upper Bollinger Band on the technical charts. But as overbought sentiment cooled, the RSI indicator retreated from high levels, and the price returned to around $280.

A bigger move was that the asset management firm simultaneously applied to convert the trust into a spot ETF product. This means that if approved, the entry barrier for普通投资者 will be further lowered.

This reflects institutional认可 of decentralized AI. Unlike centralized AI models, Bittensor uses a subnet mechanism to让模型互相竞争, with the best performers earning TAO rewards. This design theoretically can推动真正的去中心化智能发展.

However, looking calmly, decentralized AI is still in its early stages. Regulatory frameworks are unclear, competitors are rapidly increasing, and the entire track is full of uncertainties. But this influx of institutional funds至少表明 long-term潜力 has already been recognized.
