Staking TAO Subnet surged 833,000% as the Bittensor ecosystem grew.

Bittensor's subnet ecosystem has seen incredibly strong growth over the past year, with Capital inflows and network activity happening faster than ever before.

According to data from CryptoRank, the total amount of TAO Token Stake across subnets has skyrocketed from approximately $74,400 to over $620 million in just the last 12 months. This represents an increase of nearly 833,000%.

Accelerate the expansion of the subnet ecosystem.

This strong growth demonstrates the increasing interest of retail investors in participating in subnets – a crucial element of the decentralized AI infrastructure that Bittensor is building. The development of this network is also reflected in the number of subnets.

The number of subnets increased from around 80 to over 120 during the same period. Some subnets even recorded impressive monthly growth, notably Templar with a 171% increase, followed by Quasar with a 146% increase, NOVA with a 66% increase, Targon with a 36% increase, and IOTA with a 29% increase.

The total market Capital of coins belonging to the Bittensor subnet has surpassed $1.5 billion, according to data from CoinGecko . All tracked subnet Token have shown positive growth over the past month.

Despite the rapid increase in Stake on subnets, the majority of TAO Token remain Stake . Mark Jeffrey, a partner at Bittensor Fund, Stillcore Capital, stated that only about 19% of TAO is currently Stake on subnets, while approximately 48% remains on the Root.

“When the total Stake value on the first subnet exceeds $1 billion, I predict there will be a wave of stakers at Root moving to the Subnet. Even if NO new TAO is purchased, the Subnet has the potential to triple or quadruple in size just from this Capital flow effect,” he stated .

TAO outperforms the crypto market.

Alongside the expansion of the ecosystem, the TAO Token itself has also experienced strong growth since the beginning of March 2024. BeInCrypto previously reported that this altcoin surpassed the $300 mark after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang mentioned the Covenant-72B model on the All-In podcast.

However, simmering buying pressure accumulated over months, coupled with a Short squeeze effect, caused the price to surge. Despite a slight correction afterward, TAO still saw renewed upward momentum this week.

In just the last 7 days, TAO has surged by over 20%, outperforming most of the crypto market.

In addition, TAO has increased by nearly 11% in just the last 24 hours, becoming one of the top 100 best-performing coins by market Capital . At the time of writing, this altcoin is trading around $339, its highest price since November 2025.
