TAO Price Jumps 140% as Weak Retail Hype Suggests Further Upside Ahead

Jakarta, Pintu News – Bittensor (TAO) has surged 140% in the past six weeks and is up 105% since March 8, as the artificial intelligence narrative gains more market attention.

Bittensor (TAO) Surges Amid Strengthening AI Narrative

Yesterday, the altcoin briefly touched an intraday high of $377.8, which was its highest level since mid-November 2025. As of March 26, TAO was trading at $341.7, up 1.62% in the last 24 hours.

“The market capitalization, which now ranks 26th, is one of the centers of the rapid AI narrative, with capital flows moving into decentralized machine learning projects as one of the hottest themes in the market,” Santiment wrote.

This rise puts TAO as one of the best-performing large-cap tokens through March 2026. However, on-chain sentiment data shows a different picture than the typical altcoin surge.

Market Sentiment and Bittensor Ecosystem Growth

Santiment notes that the volume of conversations around TAO on X (formerly Twitter), Reddit, Telegram, and various other platforms has reached its second highest level in history. The only period that exceeded that mark was when market activity peaked when TAO broke $529 on November 1.

However, despite the significant price spike, the sentiment distribution is more restrained. Santiment recorded only 1.5 positive comments for every 1 negative comment.

“For now, there is no indication of a strong bullish bias towards Bittensor,” the post reads. “Retail investor interest in this spike is also not as great as some of the other altcoin spikes that have occurred in the past.”

According to the analytics platform, this is generally a positive signal. Rallies that are not accompanied by excessive euphoria usually tend to face less interference from “greedy traders”, which is often a sign of a price peak forming.

Meanwhile, in addition to the increase in TAO prices, the Bittensor ecosystem is also showing strong growth. The BeInCrypto page reported that the total TAO staked in various subnets increased from around $74,400 to more than $620 million in the past year. This increase reflects the growing interest of investors to participate in the subnet.
