DCG-backed Yuma launches fund offering institutional exposure to Bittensor
Latest NewsPublishedJun 27, 2026
Unlocking Earning Potential with Decentralized AI
As decentralized AI gains momentum, investors are looking for ways to earn passive income through exposure to innovative networks like Bittensor. With the launch of Yuma’s new fund, institutional investors can now access the Bittensor ecosystem and its native TAO token, as well as a basket of AI-focused subnets, through a single investment vehicle. This development is significant for everyday people who want to tap into the potential of decentralized AI and earn rewards through Cloud Rewards and Green Crypto. The Bittensor network supports the development of AI infrastructure and applications, with 128 subnets representing a combined value of over $300 million.
The growth of decentralized AI has been driven in part by concerns over centralized control and national security risks. Recent restrictions on Anthropic’s AI models have highlighted the need for alternative solutions, and investors are taking notice. As a result, asset managers are expanding their investment products tied to decentralized AI, and the demand for TAO and other decentralized AI tokens is expected to rise. This trend is likely to benefit platforms like EcoPool, which offer users a way to earn Coin and $ECP through passive income streams.

Bittensor is a decentralized network that supports the development of AI infrastructure and applications through specialized subnets spanning areas such as compute, marketplaces and identity. According to Yuma, the network’s 128 subnets represent more than $900 million in combined value. However, data from network tracker Taostats shows a combined subnet value closer to $300 million.

Institutional interest in the Bittensor ecosystem has grown alongside the network’s expanding subnet economy. In April, Grayscale increased TAO’s weighting in its Grayscale Decentralized AI Fund to 43% during the fund’s quarterly rebalance. TAO’s allocation has since fallen to about 20%, with Near Protocol’s NEAR now comprising the fund’s largest holding at roughly 44%.
Asset managers are also seeking to broaden investor access to TAO. Bitwise filed for a TAO Strategy ETF with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in April, while Grayscale submitted an amended registration statement to convert its existing Bittensor Trust into a spot TAO exchange-traded fund that would list on NYSE Arca if approved.

Anthropic restrictions renew focus on decentralized AI
The case for decentralized AI, which distributes AI infrastructure and computing across blockchain-based networks rather than relying on a single provider, gained renewed attention after the US Commerce Department suspended public access to Anthropic’s Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models over national security and export control concerns.
At the time, Grayscale head of research Zach Pandl said the restrictions underscored the risks of relying on centralized AI providers. The government order limiting access to Anthropic’s Fable 5 and Mythos 5 “highlights the risks of centralized control of AI,” Pandl said. “We expect demand for decentralized AI, like Bittensor and its TAO token, to rise as investors seek alternatives.”
The restrictions appear to be easing. The Commerce Department restored access to Mythos 5 on Friday, and Axios reported Saturday that the Trump administration is expected to allow Anthropic to resume public access to Fable 5 as soon as next week.
