Why I think $TAO will go to $2100 CONSERVATIVELY (plus the affect then on $TAOX stock):
A) the halving - reduces selling pressure each day. High demand, lower supply = price goes up.
B) Subnet deregistration: Every new subnet increases demand for $TAO because you have to burn TAO to register.
C) Institutional demand for subnets: Starting with Grayscale but then there are others coming: to buy a subnet token you HAVE TO PAY with $TAO. Increases demand (right when supply goes down with halving)
D) Ridges, etc: Ridges is about to release a commercial product. It's going to crush Cursor, a $27 BILLION company. Will increase demand for subnet tokens, plus will show the world they can start a billion dollar company for less than a million dollars.
E) DeFi on TAO (like Cartha, SN35): Almost all the top 20 crypto tokens are DeFI tokens. DeFi is just beginning on TAO. The emissions give extra advantages to trade on TAO that other DeFi protocols don't have. This is enormous demand that is just beginning.
F) More institutional demand for TAO. Not only is $TAOX growing (see below) but other institutional players are beginning (see Grayscale TAO ETF)
G) $TAOX is the only way to get exposure to TAO in your 401k to this and other pieces of the TAO ecosystem, depending on the directions TAOX goes.
TAO is a $4 Billion market cap with 100 companies denominated in TAO sitting on top of it. At least 20 of those companies/subnets are worth over $1 billion, some worth $10 billion.
That's conservatively (if just 20 are worth JUST $1B) then that puts $TAO at $2100 and $TAOX at $50.
But Ridges alone can be worth $20B, as could Cartha, BitMind, Yanez, Chutes, Targon, Data Universe, Hone, Affine, Bitcast, Zeus, etc etc.
chainlink SVR recaptured $16.7m in liquidation MEV from aave in 9 months. $6m annualized on ethereum alone, a 47% boost to aave protocol revenue with zero product changes. aave just approved expansion to base and arbitrum. morpho, compound, and spark haven't integrated yet. that's $20b+ in combined TVL still leaking liquidation value to bots. LINK is quietly shifting from oracle cost center to revenue infrastructure that takes a cut of every liquidation across DeFi lending. first successful service beyond price feeds. if this scales to 10-15 protocols by end of year, the value accrual model for LINK changes entirely. this is the AWS moment they've been building toward
sei has blackrock, apollo, and hamilton lane deploying $200m+ in tokenized assets on-chain. xiaomi partnership puts wallets on 170m devices next year. 200k tps live on devnet. trading at $253m market cap below dead projects from 2021. either the biggest valuation disconnect in crypto or everyone knows something i don't.
