TAO surges to $277 as Buttensor Drives Bittensor demand

Add as a preferred source on Google

TAO surged near $268 after hitting $277 as Solana launchpad StonkFun opened memecoin pairs against it. BUTTENSOR led with millions in hourly volume, using a cut of each transfer to buy TAO for holders, creating fresh cross-chain demand for the Bittensor AI network.

Cross-ecosystem liquidity mechanisms such as the one recently tested by the decentralized machine learning platform Bittensor, were clearly illustrated by the jump in price of its native TAO token which reached as high as $277 in a few hours. To achieve this, a Solana-based launchpad named StonkFun introduced a trading pair that enabled trading of memecoins denominated in Bittensor instead of SOL or USDC.

What Happened On StonkFun

StonkFun opened up trading of Solana memecoins against Bittensor and that BUTTENSOR was the first successful token to emerge. The memecoin BUTTENSOR was reported to have traded hundreds of millions worth only a few hours after launch.

Its model allows for an automatic redirection of part of transactions towards buy-market-orders on TAO for all investors, which results in the generation of buy-pressure on the cryptocurrency market through trade activities, and is different from regular blockchain emission model.

Solana memecoin fuels TAO rally

It is external market factors that are fueling the recent rise of Bittensor. As a subnet-based platform offering a decentralized marketplace for AI models and compute, the chain heavily relies on external factors.

Previously, the growth of Bittensor was mostly tied to subnet incentives and validator dynamics. But now it faces a new type of demand cycle coming all the way from on Solana. This means that investors developers exchanges looking into cross-chain liquidity and token design strategies also need to be aware of this change.

Suppose volumes continue to increase and more TAO-paired tokens are introduced, the industry experts will probably look at on-chain movements via blockchain explorers (like Etherscan or Solscan) and Nansen to detect long-term accumulation.
