2 Altcoins Targeted by Institutional Investors Ahead of CLARITY Act, Potential to Explode?

Jakarta, Pintu News – While most altcoins are still under pressure due to the current market sell-off, two assets are showing different movements.

Crypto analyst Tim Warren highlighted Bittensor (TAO) and Hyperliquid (HYPE) this week as altcoins that institutional investors are starting to accumulate. The view is also reinforced by on-chain data as well as available reporting documents.

Bittensor TAO: Institutional Support Meets AI Momentum

TAO has gained more than 86% in the past month and is currently trading at $329. The asset ranks 27th globally, with a market capitalization of $3.55 billion.

The rise was partly triggered by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s appearance on the All-In Podcast on March 20, when he expressed his support for Bittensor’s decentralized AI model and called the approach a valid technical achievement.

However, the institutional foundation for TAO had actually been established before Huang’s comments surfaced. Grayscale filed S-1 documents for a spot TAO ETF in December 2025. The value of assets staked in Bittensor’s various AI subnets has also risen sharply, from $74,000 a year ago to over $620 million. In the first quarter of 2026, the network recorded $43 million in AI customer revenue.

Confirmed investors include DCG, Grayscale, Bitwise, and Stillcore Capital. Uber’s original investor, Jason Calacanis, even publicly referred to TAO as an asset that could potentially provide returns of up to 200x.

Hyperliquid HYPE: Three ETF Filings for a Relatively Young DEX

Hyperliquid is currently trading at $38.79, up more than 44% in the past month, and is ranked 10th globally with a market capitalization of $9.94 billion.

That position speaks volumes about its scale: a relatively young decentralized exchange that has already made it into the top ten cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.

In the past week, Hyperliquid posted $14 million in protocol fees, up 56% from the previous week. The platform also recorded a record high with 229,818 active traders.

On March 20, Grayscale filed for a spot HYPE ETF on Nasdaq under the ticker GHYP, following earlier filings from Bitwise and 21Shares. Currently, the platform also features an S&P 500 perpetual contract with over $100 million in open interest, attracting traditional financial players looking to gain exposure to the equity markets on a 24-hour basis.

CLARITY Act: The Anticipated Catalyst for Both Assets

Both TAO and HYPE are considered to potentially benefit from the CLARITY Act, which is targeted to enter the Senate Banking Committee discussion stage in April. If passed, this regulation will allow banks in the US to keep digital assets on their balance sheets, opening up institutional capital flows that have been waiting on the sidelines.

Team Warren’s analysis, reinforced by recent data and developments, suggests that institutional investors’ confidence in these two assets continues to grow ahead of these potential catalysts.
