Overview
- Daily TAO issuance will drop from 7,200 to 3,600 on December 14 under a Bitcoin-style schedule targeting a 21 million cap.
- TAO gained roughly 11% into the news, and Grayscale frames the event as a maturation milestone even as near-term price impact remains uncertain.
- The network lists 129 active subnets providing services such as compute, data storage, AI agents, and deepfake detection.
- Reported subnet valuations diverge widely, with Taostats near $3 billion compared with CoinGecko’s tally above $850 million.
- Institutional activity is expanding, aided by dTAO for direct subnet investment, with funds from Yuma and Stillcore, TAO Synergies holding about $12 million in TAO, xTao’s TSX listing, and Inference Labs’ $6.3 million raise.
