Why Grayscale Investors Are Already Paying Nearly $1,000 per TAO (data not hype)
I want to share something factual I came across while looking at the Grayscale Bittensor Trust, because it puts current TAO pricing into context in a way that’s hard to ignore.
Grayscale publishes the trust’s holdings and share math on their site. Right now each share represents about 0.019224 TAO, and the trust’s market price per share is roughly 18.41 dollars. If you divide those numbers, you get an implied TAO valuation of about 950 dollars inside the trust.
That’s not a typo. It’s just math.
18.41 divided by 0.019224 equals roughly 958 dollars per TAO.
Meanwhile spot TAO is trading around the low 200s.
This isn’t unique to TAO. It’s exactly how Grayscale products historically behaved when access to the underlying asset was limited. GBTC traded at massive premiums for years because institutions and retirement accounts could not buy or custody Bitcoin directly. The same thing happened with Ethereum trusts before broader ETF access existed.
What this shows is not hype or a price target. It shows that there is already demand willing to pay a much higher effective price for TAO exposure through regulated rails. That demand simply cannot touch spot markets today.
Historically, when assets move from trust based exposure into broader ETF style access, the premium doesn’t usually stay trapped inside the wrapper. Spot price does the catching up as access improves and liquidity normalizes.
You can verify all of this yourself on Grayscale’s site. The trust math is public. No speculation needed.
This doesn’t mean TAO instantly goes to 900 dollars. It means current spot pricing is being set by a market that does not yet include a large class of buyers who are demonstrably willing to pay more for exposure.
That gap doesn’t stay open forever.
If you want to check the numbers yourself, the Grayscale Bittensor Trust page lists TAO per share, NAV, and market price daily.

Just wanted to share the math for anyone who prefers data over narratives. $tao #tao #bittensor #grayscale #subnet
$TAO
Fully agree with @Anbessa100
This is my view (similar)
Break this HTF trendline and $6-700 very quickly imo.
Fibs matching very perfect on $TAO. Still long way to go but looks very good so far 👀
We can talk about +$1000 if we break the uptrend channel. Let's see 😎🤝
$750,000.
That's the profit a smart contract made.
Not a human. Fully autonomous code deployed on-chain, splitting profits with the SmarDex community.
Seven hundred fifty thousand united states dollars.
Use it now.

I feel like I’ve repeated it a hundred times, so I talk about it a bit less. But despite the FUD or the “meh it’s going to zero” and all that crap, Quilibrium is a fucking beast imho... $QUIL
Watch for 2.1, Quorum… and more

#Nasdaq listed company Oblong $OBLG just announced a $7.5m raise to buy $TAO
Their goal is to make a meaningful contribution to #Bittensor.. supporting the ecosystem by building tools and scaling infrastructure to help grow
@oblong_inc believes #Bittensor is doing to AI what the early internet did for information
Building the rails and laying the groundwork for a new era of open, collaborative machine intelligence
They see $TAO as a foundational asset.. comparable to #Bitcoin and $ETH in both potential and significance

$QUBIC is officially the fastest Blockchain in the world 🔗⚡️
15.5 Million Transaction per Second. On Mainnet.
It sounds insane but its true, @CertiK just certified it. And its all possible because of Qubic's unique tick architecture.
Here is how this was tested & achieved 👇
Key Results from CertiK: 📊
🔹 peak tick TPS: 15.5M
🔹 avg. TPS : 2.64M
🔹 total transfers: 792M in 5 minutes
🔹 fastest tick: 1.18s
So how was this tested and achieved? 🤔
This was achieved through performance testing conducted by CertiK between February and April 2025.
The tests were run on both the testnet and mainnet using a custom benchmarking framework.
Each test simulated high-volume activity by executing smart contracts that performed multi-recipient transfers to 16.5 million addresses per transaction.
CertiK used three types of stress tests:
🔹 single-instance tests for baseline performance
🔹 sequential tests to measure sustained throughput
🔹 randomized tests to simulate unpredictable network load
Key metrics like TPS, tick durations, and transfer volumes were collected in real time through an enhanced wrapper around the @_Qubic_ CLI.
The tests captured network behavior under varying conditions and provided detailed logs for each execution.
↪️ Conclusion:
Even tho there will always be the discussion if these TPS should be called transactions or transfers for Qubic and if they should or should not be put in the same group, one thing is clear.
This is impressive af.
In my comparison graph I made I had to put the scale on logarithmic and even tamper around a bit in order to even make a visual comparison.
Otherwise Qubic is just so far ahead of anyone else that only it would have a bar.
And keep it mind, many of these other results from leading Blockchains aren't even verified, as opposed to Qubic.
Undervalued.

$DNX just won another BIG award 🤯
In the last 3 months they won:
🏆 Technologist of the Year 2024
🏆 Next Big Thing in Tech 2024
🏆 BIG Innovation 2025
The @dynexcoin business is flourishing & with the crypto side being a main focus in 2025, we should see a rapid repricing 📈
$OCTA just officially released its state of the art marketplace 🏆
The wait is over, #DePIN now has a new kingpin in town.
This new marketplace is pushing the boundaries of whats possible on a fully decentralised node infrastructure.
Here are just some of the unique features:
🔹rent GPU's (obviously)
🔹use global VPN nodes
🔹run operating systems and remote sessions
🔹train AI models
🔹launch AI agents
🔹use AI applications (image/video generation etc.)
🔹perform remote gaming and play your AAA titles
🔹run your own docker containers choosing some of the most high specification nodes available in the market
@octa_space has now already built 2 best-in-market solutions:
🔹OctaRender (better tech than Render)
🔹Marketplace (better tech than Akash, etc.)
And if you build the best solution, mass adoption should only be a matter of time.
And once mass adoption comes, Octa will take over.
Get in while nobody is looking yet.
