Market pulse
Live editorial snapshot — numbers update on every refresh
Today's state: Bittensor is trading at $197.17 with a $1.9 billion market capitalization (rank #41). The price moved -1.10% over the past 24 hours and is +0.40% over 7 days; the 30-day move stands at +0.00% and the 90-day at -27.96%.
Position vs cycle: A drawdown of more than 70% from the last cycle high puts the asset firmly in deep-bear territory, where recoveries have historically required a fresh demand catalyst rather than mere mean-reversion.
Volatility and structure: 30-day realized volatility of 41.8% annualized is moderate for an asset this size. Our composite multi-horizon Price Strength reads Bearish (32/100), against a softening backdrop, with pressure stacking up over the 30- and 90-day windows.

Over the last day Bittensor lost 1.10%, with its 7-day move 0.40% higher and its 30-day move 0.00% higher. On a one-year view the asset has posted gains of 0.00%, against a weakening multi-horizon backdrop.
The asset currently trades 74.4% below its all-time high — a deep drawdown in which momentum and liquidity flows have, historically, driven price more than any pull back toward the mean. 30-day realized volatility sits at 46% annualized — moderate territory for a crypto asset of this size.
Right now Bittensor is exhibiting deep order books and broad exchange coverage. 24-hour trading volume represents 4.009% of market capitalization — our liquidity-health composite scores this as Deep (83/100). That sits comfortably within the normal top-100 band and is consistent with orderly price discovery.
The 90-day Pearson correlation of TAO's daily returns versus Bitcoin's is +0.64 — a strong positive relationship. Bittensor is materially correlated with Bitcoin but retains some idiosyncratic price-action. Portfolio diversification benefit is real but limited.

The forecast above combines three independent models per the STNews methodology:
- Technical model projects ranges from moving-average, ATR, Bollinger band and trend-slope inputs — useful when the asset is in a clean trending or ranging regime.
- Statistical (Monte Carlo) model takes the 90-day daily-return distribution and simulates the 5th/50th/95th-percentile prices per horizon — a neutral baseline that assumes no continuation of the current trend.
- Peer-relative model benchmarks the asset against similarly-sized coins in its category, asking where it would sit if it tracked the median, lower-quartile and upper-quartile peer returns — a sector-anchored sanity check.
The ensemble forecast shown is a weighted average (40% statistical · 30% technical · 30% peer-relative). The confidence badge reflects how closely the three models agree: tighter agreement → higher confidence; wider disagreement → lower confidence, indicating that the asset is in a regime where statistical models alone are unreliable.
Cross-asset correlations (90d)
Pearson correlation of daily log returns vs top L1 references
Looking past Bitcoin alone, how closely TAO tracks the next two biggest layer-1s over 90 days indicates whether it is mostly market beta or something more independent. The daily-log-return correlations:
- Bitcoin reference: +0.11 — a minimal positive relationship.
- Ethereum reference: -0.04 — a minimal negative relationship.
- Solana reference: +0.01 — a minimal positive relationship.
When an asset correlates strongly with multiple majors, it is trading largely as market beta — the big caps set the direction and standalone outperformance is elusive. Weak or negative correlations instead signal idiosyncratic forces (its own news, sector rotation, narrative changes) capable of producing returns the broader market does not share.
About Bittensor
Bittensor (TAO) is a cryptocurrency, traded on global digital-asset markets. It trades at $197.17 as of the latest update, with a 24-hour move down 1.10%, placing it at rank #43 by market capitalisation among all listed digital assets. Bittensor's current market cap stands at $1.89B, a figure used by traders, analysts and institutional desks to gauge relative liquidity and risk exposure across the crypto market.
On this page you'll find a live, daily-refreshed dashboard tracking Bittensor across multiple data sources — price history going back several years, on-chain activity where available, fundamentals like circulating supply and dilution, top exchanges by volume, technical analysis using moving averages and RSI, and an algorithmic short, mid and long-term forecast. All figures are pulled from public APIs and cached locally; nothing here is investment advice.
Bittensor belongs to the AI×crypto cohort: projects positioning the token as a claim on the infrastructure AI needs — compute, data or identity. It is a sentiment-driven sector, and the cohort has tended to move with the broader AI narrative more than with its own on-chain usage.
By market value, Bittensor sits at rank #41 — a top-50 asset. Its focus is decentralized machine-learning, and launched in 2021. Only about 46% of the eventual TAO supply is circulating so far (9.60M of 21.00M), so future unlocks remain a meaningful dilution variable. It currently trades about 74% below its all-time high of $769.13 set in April 2024, while sitting roughly 6.4× above its record low.
By market value Bittensor (TAO) sits inside the top 50, trading at $197.17 as of the latest snapshot. TAO is -1.10% over 24 hours, +0.40% over the past week, putting it in the upper half of weekly performers across the top 250 by market capitalisation. Bittensor remains roughly 74% beneath its all-time high of $769.13, a level first printed in April 2024. Only 46% of TAO's eventual supply (9.60M of 21.00M) is currently in circulation — meaningful future dilution is built into the schedule and should be factored into long-term valuation.
Trading volume is light versus market value — only about 3.7% of capitalisation changes hands daily — so larger orders can move price more than they would for higher-liquidity peers.
How it works — Bittensor
The mechanism behind Bittensor applies token incentives to some part of the AI stack — provisioning GPU compute, running an open inference or model marketplace, curating training data, or attesting identity. What ties the category together is coordinating those resources through crypto rather than through one centralized AI provider.
By market value, Bittensor sits at rank #41 — a top-50 asset. Its focus is decentralized machine-learning, and launched in 2021. Only about 46% of the eventual TAO supply is circulating so far (9.60M of 21.00M), so future unlocks remain a meaningful dilution variable. It currently trades about 74% below its all-time high of $769.13 set in April 2024, while sitting roughly 6.4× above its record low. Its fully-diluted valuation of $4.14B is about 2.2× the circulating market cap of $1.89B, a gap that signals issuance overhang to factor into any longer-term thesis.
Use cases — Bittensor
Typical use cases include paying for compute access, rewarding GPU providers, paying for inference, staking on data accuracy, and identity attestation. Real on-chain activity for most AI-crypto projects remains modest relative to market capitalization — meaning these are primarily narrative-driven assets at present.
Daily volume runs at about 3.7% of market capitalisation ($70.88M in the last 24 hours), in the normal band for a coin of this size and supportive of orderly entries and exits.
Tokenomics
Supply schedule & distribution
- Circulating supply: 9.60M TAO — tokens actively trading and held by the public
- Total supply: 21.00M TAO — all tokens minted to date (including those locked or held by the issuer)
- Max supply: 21.00M TAO — the protocol-defined upper limit (if any) on lifetime issuance
- Issued to date: 45.7% of max supply
- Locked / treasury: 54.3% of total supply
Bittensor's supply schedule directly affects its long-term inflation rate and, by extension, how dilutive future issuance will be to existing holders. A coin near full dilution behaves very differently from one that still has 60% of its supply waiting to be unlocked.
Supply economics
Issuance pressure, dilution, and structural value accrual
To read Bittensor's tokenomics, look at the issuance schedule, the share of supply already in circulation, and the gap between market cap and fully-diluted valuation. Only 45.7% of maximum supply is currently circulating, meaning future emissions remain a meaningful source of structural sell pressure. Issuance velocity and unlock schedules become important variables in any longer-term thesis. The fully diluted valuation (FDV) of $4.1 billion stands at 2.2× the current circulating market cap of $1.9 billion. The wider this ratio, the more issuance overhang the asset faces — a structural headwind on valuation that mature assets like Bitcoin do not face but that early-cycle assets typically do.
Whether the tokenomics help or hurt comes down to value accrual versus dilution — fee burns, reinvested staking yield and TVL growth on one side, scheduled emissions on the other. A favourable balance lets price grind higher without hype; an unfavourable one means the asset must keep attracting demand just to absorb issuance.
Trader's note
Coin-type-aware tactical interpretation
For Bittensor in the AI×crypto sector, the tactical reality is that price action over the past two years has tracked AI-sector sentiment more closely than any underlying network metric. When the broader AI narrative is positive (model releases, capex announcements, public-market AI flows), the entire AI×crypto cohort rallies regardless of which specific network is delivering more on-chain activity.
The Price Strength composite at 32/100 reads bearish. The disciplined approach with this cohort is to size positions assuming that the AI-narrative beta dominates, and to monitor both crypto-sector flows and AI-sector indicators (Nvidia trajectory, capex announcements from hyperscalers) to anticipate regime changes.

Market sentiment
Crypto Fear & Greed Index · alternative.me
The Crypto Fear & Greed Index aggregates volatility, market momentum, social media activity, dominance and Google Trends data into a single 0–100 score updated daily. Today's reading is 29 — Fear.
Extreme fear (below 25) historically signals buying opportunities for contrarians, while extreme greed (above 75) often precedes corrections. The index works best as one input among many, not as a standalone trading signal.
Macro & cross-asset context
How macro liquidity and cross-asset moves frame the trade
What sets the macro tone for crypto is the cost and availability of money: where the Fed is steering policy rates, whether dollar liquidity is expanding or draining, and how much risk the market is willing to carry. The asset class has behaved like the high-beta tail of that cycle — first to rally as conditions ease, first to crack when they tighten.
The cross-asset relationships worth watching: the dollar index (DXY), historically inversely correlated with crypto over longer windows; the 10-year Treasury yield, a proxy for the cost of risk capital; gold, which sometimes shares a "monetary hedge" framing with Bitcoin during regime changes; and the S&P 500, which during liquidity-driven moves often rhymes with crypto despite the "uncorrelated" narrative.
For Bittensor specifically, the macro variable that has empirically led price most often is global crypto-market liquidity — proxied by stablecoin total supply, futures open interest, and exchange volumes. When these expand, TAO tends to follow; when they contract, the relationship typically reverses. With a comparatively loose 90-day BTC correlation of +0.11, TAO has shown more idiosyncratic price behaviour than the average large-cap — its own catalysts can matter as much as the broad liquidity tide.
Risks
Specific risks: narrative dependence (price tracks AI-sector sentiment more than network usage), regulatory exposure (especially for identity-related projects), competition from centralized AI providers with vastly better unit economics, and the open question of how much real AI compute actually needs to be decentralized to function. Volatility on AI-crypto tokens tends to be higher than the broad alt-coin average.
