The round was led by Canonical Crypto and Collab+Currency and included participation from big-name crypto investors such as Digital Currency Group (DCG), Quantstamp and Amber Group, Tensorplex said in an email.
Tensorplex said decentralization is an antidote to the risk of tech giants monopolizing AI, making them prone to biases or censorship.
"Tensorplex Labs will use the new funds to build novel capital and intelligence infrastructure and applications that aim to accelerate the growth of open, decentralized AI networks such as Bittensor," the firm said in the announcement.
Bittensor's native token TAO is priced at around $623 and has a market cap of over $4 billion, according to CoinMarketCap data.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
