Yuma, a Digital Currency Group subsidiary and one of the largest validators on the Bittensor network, has announced integrations with 10 major custodians, wallets, and institutional platforms. The move opens secure TAO staking access to more than 100 million users and marks a major step toward institutional participation in Bittensor.
The partners include Crypto.com, BitGo, Uphold, Utila, Copper, InfStones, Yield.xyz, FalconX, Nightly, and Colossus Italy. Through Yuma’s validator infrastructure, these platforms can now offer TAO staking without requiring users to manage direct onchain operations.
This announcement follows a significant year for Bittensor. In mid December 2025, the network completed its first halving, reducing daily TAO emissions from 7,200 to 3,600. The change introduced supply pressure similar to Bitcoin’s halving model and increased attention from institutional players.
Throughout 2025, Yuma played a central role in ecosystem expansion. The team accelerated more than 16 subnets, launched Yuma Asset Management to simplify exposure to subnet tokens, and continued onboarding institutions to strengthen network security and participation.
The integrations address one of decentralized AI’s biggest hurdles: access. Bittensor’s model depends on broad participation from stakers and validators. By lowering technical barriers, Yuma enables institutions and retail users alike to stake TAO securely while contributing to network decentralization.
As institutional interest in Bittensor grows through new funds, ETPs, and custody solutions, Yuma’s infrastructure positions the network for broader adoption in 2026. The foundation for institutional scale is now in place.
