Big Events in the Bittensor Ecosystem
Yuma launches asset manager to open ‘decentralized AI’ investing
Yuma, a DCG company building on the Bittensor network, unveiled Yuma Asset Management, a new vehicle offering institutional and accredited investors managed exposure to Bittensor subnet tokens, with a $10 million anchor investment from DCG. The unit debuts two flagship strategies – a market-cap-weighted Subnet Composite Fund and a targeted Large Cap Subnet Fund – aimed at bridging traditional capital into Bittensor’s open-source AI economy.
Grayscale files Form 10 for Bittensor Trust, outlining path to wider access for $TAO
Grayscale said it has filed a Form 10-12G for Grayscale Bittensor Trust, beginning the process to become an SEC reporting company under Section 12(g). If the registration becomes effective, the Trust would start filing 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K reports, enhancing disclosure and governance. Grayscale also noted plans typical for its private trusts: seeking an OTC Markets quotation and, with reporting status, potentially shortening private-placement holding periods from 12 to 6 months under SEC Rule 144 – a change available once an issuer has been subject to Exchange Act reporting for at least 90 days. Longer-term, the move positions the product one step closer to an exchange-traded product (ETP) pathway.
Tao Portal launches TAO Revenue to spotlight Bittensor subnet sustainability
A new public dashboard, TAO Revenue, went live to track which Bittensor subnets are earning versus burning. The site visualizes TAO inflows, burns, and outflows (rewards to miners/validators/stakers) and introduces a “coverage %”metric indicating how much emissions are offset by revenue. Users can switch between 24H / 7D / 30D views and see aggregate network totals alongside per-subnet tables.
Subnet Updates
TaoFi’s SN10 pool passes $50,000,000 volume as Base entry point to Bittensor grows
TaoFi said its TAO/USDC pool has surpassed $50M in cumulative volume, implying about $150K in swap fees at a 0.3% rate. The pool is the hub that routes Base swaps into subnet tokens: Base funds are bridged, swapped via the TAO-USDC Uniswap v3 pool, then used to acquire subnet tokens on Bittensor. TaoFi’s docs confirm the 0.3% LP fee and flow; independent explainers detail the Base→TAO→subnet routing.
VoidAI says Solana wTAO/USDC tops $800,000 volume one month after SN106 incentives
VoidAI reports that, in the month since Subnet 106 (SN106) incentives went live, trading of wTAO/USDC on Solanasurpassed $800,000 in total volume, with $140,000 in the last 24 hours – yielding $351 in fees to the project. SN106 incentivizes concentrated liquidity for wTAO and subnet “alpha” tokens on Solana via bridging from Bittensor, positioning VoidAI as a liquidity on-ramp between the networks. Public docs outline SN106’s design and Solana LP flow; on-chain trackers list wTAO markets on Solana for independent monitoring.
Macrocosmos’ Gravity hits 1,800 subscribers on SN13, touts social-data scraping for Bittensor
Macrocosmos says Gravity has reached 1,800 subscribers, highlighting demand for decentralized scraping of X (Twitter), Reddit, and more via the Gravity API/SDK. New users get $5 in credits to try task-based data collection, with results downloadable in CSV/Parquet for analytics and model training.
Synth (SN50) touts 110% Polymarket return; unveils ‘Synth HFT’ for faster, denser forecasts
The team behind Synth (Subnet 50) says a four-week live test on Polymarket using a $2,000 account executed ~12,000 trades with ~$500,000 turnover, yielding ~110% profit – primarily on the platform’s hourly “Up vs Down” markets. They attribute the edge to probabilistic (Monte Carlo) volatility modeling rather than directional calls and announced Synth HFT, a higher-frequency dataset cutting horizons 24h→1h, intervals 5m→1m, update cadence 1h→2m, and simulations 100→1,000 paths, aimed at prediction and options venues.
Chutes (SN64) expands global payment options, adds BNPL and stablecoins
Chutes says it’s broadened checkout to include Apple Pay and Google Pay (in more countries), Buy Now, Pay Latervia Klarna, regional rails like Pix (Brazil) and Naver Pay (Korea), plus stablecoin payments – aimed at making its serverless AI compute easier to buy worldwide.
Zeus (SN18) claims its average miner beats ECMWF IFS HRES; Aurora benchmark next
Zeus, Bittensor’s decentralized weather-forecasting subnet, says the average Zeus miner now outperforms ECMWF’s IFS HRES across all variables, with its API combining top-scoring miners to further boost accuracy. The team says a full benchmark report is coming, including head-to-head results versus Microsoft’s Aurora model. Context: IFS HRES is widely regarded as a gold-standard operational forecast, while Microsoft reports Aurora can produce skillful 10-day global forecasts and has claimed wins over IFS-HRES in prior tests.
