platform, a development that sparked immediate price action.<\/p>\n<p>According to Upbit, traders can now access TAO\/KRW, TAO\/BTC, and TAO\/USDT trading pairs as of Feb.16, which is a notable move

\u201cconst,\u201d announced he had stepped down as CEO of the OpenTensor Foundation, marking a key transition to a \u201cheadless\u201d protocol free from centralized control.<\/p>\n<p>Steeves\u2019 announcement amplified decentralization sentiment among investors, positioning Bittensor as a resilient AI infrastructure play.<\/p>\n<p>With dynamic TAO upgrades and subnet competition already live, the protocol now operates as a self-sustaining ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>Grayscale has also highlighted potential institutional interest in the token, particularly with its TAO ETP filing.<\/p>\n<h2>Bittensor price prediction: more pain or $300 next?<\/h2>\n<p>The cryptocurrency market\u2019s struggles have led to most altcoins tracking losses over the past several months.<\/p>\n<p>Bittensor price mirrors this outlook, and with Bitcoin constrained around $70,000, sentiment remains largely bearish.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, can TAO break towards the <a
