Grayscale filed an S-1 with the SEC to convert its Bittensor Trust into an ETF, potentially the first to offer institutional investors direct exposure to the AI-focused TAO token. The ETF, to be listed on NYSE Arca as GTAO, will hold TAO tokens and staking rewards, with Coinbase as the lead broker and BitGo as custodian. The Bittensor network recently cut TAO issuance in half, lowering daily output to 3,600 tokens. The ETF registration could be approved next year, following the Trust’s OTCQX listing and SEC approval of its Form 10. This ETF news comes amid growing interest in digital asset products, including Bitcoin ETF news.
