Traditional Finance Integration Accelerating for Bittensor

Institutional gateways are expanding. Grayscale filed paperwork on December 30, 2025 to transform its Bittensor Trust into a spot ETP listed as GTAO, bringing regulated exposure to a wider investor base. Simultaneously, Bitwise submitted applications for 11 single-token strategy ETFs with TAO inclusion among the candidates.

What does this mean? More product wrappers translate to broader accessibility. If approvals come through, institutional capital flows into Bittensor gain a direct on-ramp. The convergence of traditional finance infrastructure and crypto-native assets continues reshaping market structure—no longer confined to crypto-native platforms, these assets now compete for wallet share within mainstream investment vehicles.

Huh? Grayscale is back again, this time directly with ETP... Really going mainstream --- TAO is impressive this time, are institutions entering so quickly? --- Wait, 11 ETFs applying simultaneously? Isn’t that a bit crazy... --- Finally, mainstream financial money is coming in to invest, but approval is still needed to be official --- Now even financial aunties can buy TAO, 😅 feels a bit outrageous --- Traditional finance and the crypto world are really about to fully merge... The times are changing

Grayscale and Bitwise are teaming up, aiming to push TAO from a small circle to institutions... But on the other hand, how much can it really rise if approved? It still depends on whether there is real capital backing it up later on.

Tao is about to take off. Once the door to traditional finance opens, it can't be stopped.

Gray scale is moving so quickly, it feels like TAO is really about to break out of the circle... Is this wave of traditional finance integration coming?

This round of grayscale operations, TAO is really about to take off. Institutional entry is just different.

Grayscale's move is indeed aggressive, directly opening a backdoor to traditional finance. Tao is about to take off, for sure. Wait, can this ETF really get approved? The SEC is probably up to something again. Institutional entry signals a market rally?

Will Grayscale and Bitwise really cause a market crash this time, or can they truly break through the barriers?

According to data, the actions of Grayscale and Bitwise indicate an accelerated institutional-level entry, but there's a detail worth considering—the ETF approval rate has historically been less than 60%. Don't rush to go all in. Based on on-chain data and historical patterns, actual capital inflow requires SEC approval; currently, it's still in the conceptual stage. Whether TAO can become the next mainstream allocation depends mainly on the growth of TVL and the practical implementation of the application ecosystem, not just on paper product design. Analysis from three dimensions: mechanism feasibility✓, compliance pathway✓, but what about the market's real demand? That's a question mark.
