Some of the major bullish catalysts have been institutional interest via the Spot TAO ETF and the narrative of AI and crypto convergence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the chain\u2019s fundamentals may be staring at a crisis that may force a rerating of the altcoin. According to crypto research firm <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/PineAnalytics\/status\/2036137680803619157\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pine Analytics<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, most subnets (AI marketplaces) are heavily subsidized by token emissions, rather than by operational efficiency.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Without the subsidy, some of the top subnets, like Chutes (SN64), would be way more expensive than rival, centralized alternatives like Deepseek and Together AI. According to Pine Analytics,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An unsubsidized Chutes pricing would be 1.6-3.5x more expensive than centralized alternatives.

Miners act as producers, aiming to achieve the subnet\u2019s set tasks by running AI models and other activities.\u00a0 The higher the quality of the work, the greater the chance of receiving more TAO rewards.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Likewise, validators are paid through TAO rewards for their quality control or auditing work. They supervise miners\u2019 work and score them accordingly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, back to Bittensor top subnet Chutes. It gets 14.4% of emissions, annualized at $52 million (or 518 TAO per day). This is shared among the subnet creator, miners, and validators. However, there is no publicly available data on demand for these subnets, Pine Analytics noted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the research firm warned that the model could fall apart if the subsidy is cut.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When emissions halve again (projected late 2026 or 2027), either pricing roughly doubles, miners leave the subnet, or the gap between subsidy and revenue widens further.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In other words, most of the Bittensor subnets could become expensive, leading them to hike prices for AI services. This could likely force users to seek cheaper alternatives. Consequently, such a scenario would also trigger miner and validator exits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With no current verifiable demand for Bittensor, Pine Analytics called this an &#8220;income desert&#8221; thesis that could force a TAO rerating.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the bearish call though, TAO\u2019s market sentiment recovered to neutral at press time.
