Bittensor (TAO) is having a strong moment right now. The price is up over 12% today, trading around $349. Over the past month, the TAO price has pumped more than 105%, and in just one week, it gained over 25%. On top of that, trading volume jumped by 30%, pushing it into the top 5 gainers in the market.
So what’s actually driving this move?
The main trigger came from a major moment in the AI space. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang publicly praised Bittensor, specifically highlighting its decentralized training of the Covenant-72B model. That kind of attention from a trillion-dollar tech leader instantly gave TAO credibility beyond crypto.
This wasn’t just hype, it shifted how people see Bittensor. It’s no longer just another altcoin; it’s now being viewed as part of the broader AI infrastructure race.
That alone brought in both institutional interest and retail buyers chasing the momentum.
Beyond the headline news, Bittensor’s ecosystem is also expanding fast. Its subnet ecosystem recently reached a total valuation of about $1.5 billion. Some subnet tokens have exploded in value, with gains of over 400% in a month.
Here’s why that matters:
To participate in these subnets, users need Bittensor (TAO). So as the ecosystem grows, demand for TAO naturally increases.
This creates a feedback loop, more growth leads to more demand, which pushes the price higher.
In addition, according to market chatter, TAO is becoming harder to ignore. Social attention has doubled, and interestingly, attention started rising before the price did. That usually signals strong underlying interest.
There’s also still room to grow. Only about 19% of TAO is being used in subnets, while nearly half of the supply is still idle. If more of that rotates into active use, demand could increase even further.
Here’s What The Bittensor Chart Is Showing
From a technical standpoint, the move looks clean. The TAO price recently broke above its 200-day EMA around $269, a key level traders watch closely. It also printed a strong daily candle with massive volume, the highest seen in months.
The price had been holding a support zone between $160 and $260 for a while. That base is what helped launch the current rally.
Now, as long as the TAO price holds above the $320 level on any pullback, traders are eyeing the next target around $400 and above.

However, TAO’s rally isn’t coming from just one thing.
It’s a mix of strong fundamentals, growing ecosystem demand, rising attention, and a clean technical breakout. Add in a powerful AI narrative, and you get a move like this.
It might still be early, but one thing is clear, Bittensor (TAO) is no longer flying under the radar.

Recently, altcoins represented by RAVE have sparked a fierce investment craze, but some old star projects like FF and INX have used this wave of hype to carry out “pump-and-dump” operations—rapidly driving up coin prices to lure retail investors to buy, and then dumping them heavily, causing the price to plunge rapidly. Such behavior not only exposes the project team’s funding difficulties, but also damages investors’ trust. Investors need to stay alert to signals like abnormal short-term surges in order to avoid the risk of being manipulated by the market.

On April 13, Bitcoin rose from its early-session low of 70,741 to trade as high as $74,900 during the session, approaching the $75,000 level. The main drivers came from two directions: after Trump ordered the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, traders began to view Bitcoin as a geopolitical hedge asset; and a massive net short position that had been building as funding rates stayed persistently negative was met with liquidation, triggering a chain of liquidations totaling millions of dollars near the $70,000 support level.
