Internet Computer (ICP), down 3.8%, was also an underperformer.
Bittensor (TAO) is drawing renewed attention as a blockchain network trying to turn AI development into an open, incentive-driven marketplace—an approach that Alea Research argues could reshape how capital is allocated across AI infrastructure. In a recent report, the research firm said Bittensor's combination of 'subnets' and the newer 'dTAO' framework makes it more than “an AI token,” positioning the network as a rare attempt to directly connect token incentives with measurable 'machine intelligence' output.
Bittensor's new model incentivizes sustainable capital flows, potentially increasing market volatility and strategic subnet participation. Bittensor activates dynamic TAO, restructuring emission model to reward real capital flows.
On-chain data, ETF catalysts, and supply dynamics reveal a stark divide between NEAR and TAO today.
For much of 2024, Bittensor was the undisputed king of the intersection between artificial intelligence and crypto assets. Its token, TAO, became synonymous with “crypto AI,” and its ambitious subnet architecture seemed destined to monopolize the sector.
Bittensor successfully defended the $255 support level, while TAO rebounded to $289.
Bittensor (TAO) price crashed nearly 10% today after reports surrounding Covenant AI's exit sparked fresh uncertainty and accelerated profit-taking.
