Grayscale Investments has taken a significant step toward integrating the AI-focused cryptocurrency Bittensor (TAO) into mainstream finance by filing a Form 10 registration statement with the U.S. SEC for its Bittensor Trust.
Regulatory Significance
This regulatory move is designed to reduce the private placement holding period for early investors from 12 months to six months, promoting faster liquidity and attracting institutional capital. If the filing is approved, the Bittensor Trust will become an SEC Reporting Company, committing Grayscale to increased transparency through regular SEC filings (10-Ks, 10-Qs, and audited financials). This status mirrors Grayscale's flagship Bitcoin and Ethereum trusts and is a key precursor to publicly quoting the shares on OTC Markets and eventually achieving an Exchange-Traded Product (ETP) status, greatly expanding TAO’s accessibility to a wider range of investors. Bittensor already commands a strong position in the decentralized infrastructure sector, holding roughly 33% of the DePIN market's total influence.
Technical Price Outlook
From a technical analysis perspective, TAO appears positioned for a major breakout. The price chart has been forming a "falling wedge" pattern since October 2024, which typically signals a bullish reversal. Analysts suggest that a successful breakout could lead to a massive 236% price increase. This rally could propel TAO to a target of $1,353, effectively breaking its previous all-time high of $1,248 (recorded in April 2024).
For a confirmed bullish entry, traders are advised to wait for a decisive close above the immediate resistance level of $402.3, ideally followed by a stable hold above $499.6. Supporting this bullish view, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 63 indicates the token still has room to climb before being considered overbought, and bullish volume profiles suggest strong buying interest above the key resistance. Conversely, failure to break the wedge's upper boundary could trigger a drop, with potential bearish pressure testing support levels near $219.6 and $130.3.
