TAO holders finally have a reason to smile. Bittensor price is up another 20% today, pushing its 30-day gains past 60%. The token recovered from the $170 range lows in February and now trades just slightly below $250.
The move comes as the market wakes up to what Bittensor actually built.
LunarCrush Breaks Down TAO’s Numbers
LunarCrush shared the data on X. Bittensor just trained a 72-billion parameter language model across a fully decentralized network. No single company ran it. No central data center hosted it. Just a global mesh of permissionless compute nodes collaborating on 1.1 trillion tokens.
The model is called Covenant-72B. It completed on Bittensor’s subnet 3. This is the largest decentralized LLM pre-training run ever done.
The market noticed.
The TAO price is up 60% in 30 days. Trading volume climbed 167% over the past six months. Engagements on LunarCrush surged 114% month-over-month. The combined LunarCrush Galaxy Score sits at 70.4, well above the 55 daily average. Sentiment is at 86%.
Grayscale expanded its TAO trust for institutional access the same week.
Bittensor: From Whitepaper to Real Infrastructure
Every AI crypto project sells the dream of decentralized compute. Most never deliver. Bittensor just shipped a model that competes with outputs from centralized labs. That crosses the line from whitepaper to actual infrastructure.
The token is still 50% below its November high of $497. That means either the market hasn’t caught up to the technical milestone yet (mainly due to the ongoing bear market), or it’s pricing in execution risk on scaling beyond a single model. Both readings are worth watching.
For now, TAO holders are taking the win. Twenty percent today. Sixty percent in a month. And a working product that finally proves the thesis.

Why is the crypto market down today? Trump’s tough remarks sparked a wave of selling, and Bitcoin is approaching the key $65,000 support level
April 2, 2026, the total market capitalization of the cryptocurrency market fell 2.6%. Bitcoin dropped to $66,250, Ethereum is nearing $2,000, and major assets generally pulled back. Due to Trump making tough remarks about the Iran situation, risk-off sentiment intensified in the market, and funds are taking a wait-and-see stance in the short term. High interest rates and geopolitical risk together are weighing on prices; going forward, attention will be on developments in the Middle East and changes in macro liquidity.

Bitcoin is moving sideways—quiet undercurrents are building beneath the surface! The expectation that “the war will end” has already been priced in, yet capital is slowly pulling back
Bitcoin’s price has been trading in a tight range around $68,000 ahead of an upcoming speech by Trump, and expectations that the conflict could ease have not translated into a more optimistic positioning of capital. Trading volume indicators show sellers are in control, and the market is in the “distribution phase.” Despite some buy-side attempts to enter, confidence is lacking, and near-term direction will be driven by geopolitical factors and capital flows.

BitMine jumps 12% but hides risks! Short sellers squeeze to dominate the market; $21 is the key watershed
BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) stock price rose 12% on March 31, 2026, recording its largest single-day gain in recent history, buoyed by an upgrade to B. Riley’s price target. However, the rally was mainly driven by a short squeeze, with insufficient backing from new capital, and it may face resistance going forward. Even though the company has increased its holdings of Ethereum and has staking income, cash flow remains sluggish, and near-term performance depends on Ethereum’s price and staking returns.

Solana critical turning point approaching! 37.7 million tokens of sell pressure is piling up, is SOL set to replicate a 21% surge or fall toward $64?
Solana’s recent price has been trading in a range around $84, and multiple technical indicators suggest a potential rebound. The current head-and-shoulders top structure is similar to early March, but selling pressure in the $85 to $88 range could limit upside. If it breaks above $89.82, it will turn bullish; conversely, if it falls below $78.77, it may test as low as $64. The market is in a stage of choosing direction.
