- Grayscale files Form 10 for BitTensor Trust, widening institutional access to TAO.
- TAO price today steadies around $425 as the network reaches 129 AI subnets.
- Subnet growth boosts staking and validation demand across the TAO marketplace.
Grayscale filed a Form 10 for a BitTensor (TAO) Trust, a step that would make the vehicle an SEC-reporting product once effective. The news landed when TAO steadied around $425, and framed the day’s narrative around institutional access and SEC disclosures rather than hype.
Why The Form 10 Matters For Institutional Access
A Form 10 does not create an ETF; rather, it adds periodic SEC reporting, which can help institutional investors that need audited disclosures before allocating. Similar paths in other assets improved distribution and diligence workflows, giving larger managers clearer footing to evaluate exposure.
BitTensor’s Decentralized AI Marketplace: 129 Subnets
BitTensor’s network counted 129 active subnets as of today. Each subnet runs a focused AI task, that is, text generation, inference, text-to-speech, and pays TAO rewards to miners whose outputs validators score.
Subnet liquidity reserves pair TAO with an alpha token, forming small marketplaces that compete for TAO while contributing useful compute.
TAO Token Demand Drivers: Staking, Validation, Builder Activity
As subnets expand, the network pulls TAO into staking and validation, while developer participation increases on-chain work that earns rewards.
That loop supports baseline demand independent of short-term trading swings. A widely shared video also noted DCG’s reported $11 million private placement support around BitTensor, which aligns with the institutional on-ramp for TAO narrative.
