Grayscale is seeking to convert its TAO Trust into an exchange-traded fund, just weeks after the network’s native token underwent its first halving event. On Tuesday, the digital asset investment firm filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the Grayscale Bittensor Trust (TAO).
The filing marks the first attempt to launch a U.S spot ETF offering direct exposure to Bittensor. “We’re pleased to take this early step as we continue to expand the tools available to investors and further develop Grayscale’s product platform to meet the growing investor demand for digital asset exposure,” a Grayscale spokesperson said in a statement sent to The Block.
The Grayscale Bittensor Trust, which had been private since 2024, became more accessible to a broader set of investors via public quotation earlier this month. Grayscale’s Bittensor ETF would trade on NYSE Arca under the ticker symbol GTAO. Coinbase Custody Trust Company LLC and BitGo Trust Company, Inc., would be the custodians, according to Tuesday’s filing.
TAO is the native token of Bittensor, a decentralized, AI-focused network built on a hub-and-spoke blockchain architecture that supports application-specific subnets. Participants earn TAO by contributing computing resources that help improve and support these AI-driven networks.
