On April 2, 2026, Grayscale officially submitted Amendment No.1 (S-1/A) to the SEC to convert the Grayscale Bittensor Trust (GTAO) from an OTC trust fund into a spot ETF listed on NYSE Arca.
The real significance of this move: This is the most important step ever for TAO (the token of Bittensor – a decentralized AI network) to legally and more easily access traditional capital. American securities investors will be able to buy GTAO through regular brokerage accounts, without needing to buy, store, or manage TAO on a blockchain wallet. Increased liquidity, transparency, and accessibility for both individual and institutional investors.
Clearly reflecting the convergence trend between AI and Crypto: Grayscale is pushing forward products related to the hottest narrative today – Decentralized Intelligence.
Currently: GTAO is trading OTC at ~8.00 USD (4/2/2026) AUM ~11.5 million USD Management fee 2.50%/year Although still needing to wait for SEC approval (which may take months), the submission of S-1/A shows that Grayscale is very serious about Bittensor.
Is this a catalyst that will help TAO attract more large capital flows in 2026? What do you think? Will TAO be the "Bitcoin of AI" or just a temporary narrative? #CryptoETF #AICryptoRevolution
