Clients can stake and trade subnet tokens within a single platform, managing exposure to the Bittensor ecosystem within the security of a qualified custodian alongside a leader in non-custodial $TAO staking since 2024.

โ Why GTAO's premium hit +270% and how it compresses to zero
โ The three shapes staking could take inside a regulated wrapper
โ Why a tax opinion, not the SEC, determines what happens to the TAO inside
