Bittensor (TAO) Gains Attention as Grayscale Seeks First U.S. ETP Listing

Bittensor (TAO) is seeing renewed momentum as institutional interest is beginning to form around the project. A large asset manager has taken the key regulatory step that could provide traditional market exposure for the TAO. However, the technical indicators are suggesting that the token may soon see a key price level for support.

At the time of writing, TAO is trading at $222.25, posting a 0.05% decrease over the last 24 hours. The token recorded a 24-hour trading volume of $118.61 million, while its market capitalization stands at $2.35 billion, reflecting continued market participation despite recent price corrections.

Grayscale Pushes Bittensor Into Markets

The attention on the Bittensor market received a boost from new updates from Grayscale. According to details released on CoinMarketCap, Grayscale has filed its application with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the launch of what could be the first Exchange-Traded Product (ETP) offered on the Bittensor (TAO) Token in the United States.

If approved, the proposed Grayscale Bittensor Trust will be listed on NYSE Arca, making it possible for traditional investors to invest in TAO via regulated financial systems.

This development is a clear indicator that there is a growing institutional recognition of Bittensor’s importance within the broader decentralized AI ecosystem. Though listing approval is anything but assured, this news does point towards a growing recognition of AI blockchain networks’ continued significance.

Bittensor (TAO) Approaches Major Support Zone

In technical analysis, well-known crypto analyst GainMuse observed that TAO could be close to an important price area after a long period of contraction. GainMuse identified that TAO has entered a high confluence support area, where several important levels coincide.

The token has drawn close to the lower boundary of a downward trend, also approaching the support of a long-term trend line.

Such an alignment could imply that the selling momentum may be dwindling, leaving the possibility open for price stabilization in the near term. If this support level continues to hold strong, then TAO may be poised for a shift in momentum.

With the institutional momentum and the technical cues falling into place, it seems that Bittensor is about to embark on a period that could determine its next big move in the coming weeks.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
