Estimates from SubConnect and Stillcore put Bittensor subnets' annual customer revenue above $50M, growing 43% in a single month.
Key points:
- Revenue is growing about twice as fast as price: +43–56% this month vs $TAO's +22.8%.
- Six decentralized AI networks worth a combined $11.5B earn only $16.7M/year in tracked fees; Bittensor subnets earn 3x that at less than a third of the size.
- Customer revenue now covers 13.5–17.5% of $TAO's annual issuance; Bitcoin's fees cover just 0.65% of its own.
- 68.7% of GPU rentals on Lium (SN51) are now launched by code and agents rather than humans.
