AI crypto Bittensor (TAO) jumps into top 50 largest coins
Today, Nov. 18, 2023, the price of TAO, the core native asset of the Bittensor platform, registered an all-time high at $239.35 on major spot exchanges. In the last 30 days, the TAO price added almost 400%. The rally accelerated yesterday: In 24 hours, the TAO price jumped by 37%.
As a result, on the CoinGecko tracker, Bittensor (TAO) became the largest AI cryptocurrency, surpassing Render Network (RNDR), the undisputed leader of the segment in the past moths.
However, on CoinMarketCap, Bittensor's (TAO) circulating supply and, therefore, its aggregated market capitalization, are still marked as "unverified." As such, the aggregator places the crypto in the third thousand of its ranking despite its 10-digit market cap.
Developed by Opentensor Foundation, the Bittensor (TAO) protocol emphasizes the necessity of decentralization in the segment of AI, opposing the centralized heavyweights of the emerging sphere.

As an open-source AI protocol, Bittensor (TAO) was launched by former Google developer Jacob Steeves on Sept. 19, 2023.

Sam Altman, one of the key figureheads of the ongoing AI mania and the ChatGPT software, was surprisingly fired by the company's board due to being "not consistently candid in his communication."
