Bittensor TAO :: Community Q+A :: Sub-Subnets, Deregistration, Yuma Consensus + more

The Opentensor Foundation | Bittensor TAO

Crypto
Key Takeaways
  1. Subnets are becoming more complex. The introduction of sub-subnets will allow for more sophisticated, multi-faceted incentive mechanisms within a single subnet, effectively turning them into "mixtures of experts."
  2. Performance is now paramount. Subnet deregistration creates a "perform or perish" dynamic. Underperforming subnets risk being automatically removed, with their assets returned to token holders as TAO.
  3. Decentralization is on the horizon. The shift to Proof-of-Stake and a formal on-chain governance structure are actively being developed, marking a deliberate move toward placing control in the hands of the community.

How to Invest in The Debasement Era

Bankless

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Recessions Are Canceled, Inflation Is Not: Perpetual government stimulus will prevent deep downturns, but it locks in higher inflation. Plan for a ~3% floor and a market that swings between boom and stagflation.
  2. The US Super Cycle Is Over: After a historic 15-year run, US market dominance has peaked. The next decade’s alpha will be found in undervalued international markets benefiting from a weakening dollar.
  3. Build a Debasement-Proof Portfolio: Ditch long-duration bonds. Hold cash for opportunity, stay invested in global equities, and overweight hard assets like gold and crypto to preserve purchasing power.

Can Prediction Markets Outpace Securities Trading? With Farrokh and Carlos Domingo

The Rollup

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. **Prediction markets are not a niche crypto game; they are a multi-trillion dollar industry gunning for the securities market** by financializing the world's most valuable asset: information.
  2. **True tokenization will be won on open, permissionless blockchains** that enable new market structures, not closed systems offering mere efficiency gains. Institutions like BlackRock are already betting on this "open internet" thesis.
  3. **Creator tokens are a flawed model with a built-in expiration date tied to relevance.** The smarter trade is to own the casino (the platform's token), not the individual player's chips.

The Biggest Winner from Hyperliquid’s USDH | Weekly Roundup

Empire

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Distribution is the New Kingmaker. Protocols with significant user bases and transaction volume (like Hyperliquid) now have the leverage to command value from stablecoin issuers and other service providers, not the other way around.
  2. The Stablecoin Revenue Model is Broken. The era of stablecoin issuers keeping 100% of the yield from reserves is over. Expect a race to the bottom on revenue sharing, forcing issuers to innovate on product rather than just collecting yield.
  3. The Crypto IPO Window is Wide Open. With Figure’s successful public offering and Gemini’s upcoming listing, public markets are showing a strong appetite for crypto-native businesses, likely triggering a wave of IPOs from companies like Kraken, BitGo, and others.

Bittensor Novelty Search :: Sub-Subnets + Subnet Deregistration core updates :: + Open Q+A

The Opentensor Foundation | Bittensor TAO

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. **Consolidate or Compete.** Sub-subnets allow teams to build diversified businesses under a single token, while deregistration means underperforming projects will be pruned. The message is clear: innovate and perform, or be replaced.
  2. **Investment Thesis Evolves.** Subnet tokens are no longer "eternal." Deregistration fundamentally changes the risk profile, making active development and market traction paramount for long-term viability.
  3. **Governance is Coming.** The network is on a clear path to decentralization. The planned shift to Proof-of-Stake and a more democratic governance structure will steadily transfer power to subnet owners and stakers, making community participation more critical than ever.

One Chart Determines if We're in a Bull or Bear Market

Bankless

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Global liquidity is the ultimate macro signal. As long as the global liquidity chart goes up and to the right, the crypto bull market has the fuel it needs to continue its run.
  2. Ethereum isn't losing; it's quietly winning the RWA war. With 93% market share, Ethereum has become the de facto settlement layer for tokenized real-world assets, a lead that continues to grow as institutions like Fidelity build directly on its L1.
  3. The new blockchain business model is asset management. Chains like Hyperliquid and Mega ETH are pioneering a shift away from relying solely on blockspace fees. By integrating native stablecoins, they are capturing a percentage of the yield from assets on-chain, effectively turning the protocol itself into a revenue-generating asset manager.
