Bittensor's Price Plunge Highlights Gap Between AI-Crypto Narratives and On-Chain Revenue

Bittensor (TAO), once trading at an all-time high of $800, has seen its price plummet to around $208 in recent days. The token's market cap stands at $2.73 billion, down from its peak.

This significant drop in value highlights the gap between AI-crypto narratives and verifiable on-chain revenue. Analysts point out that a network must meter real usage, not just promise it, to hold value.

Ruvi (RUVI), an audited decentralized AI superapp, is gaining attention as a platform that already meters live demand. With 20+ live AI models across text, image, video, and audio, Ruvi packages usable AI workflows that the broader community can shape and monetize.

The fixed 5 billion non-mintable supply of RUVI tokens ensures that ownership is recorded on-chain, while platform revenue funds an on-chain buyback that removes supply permanently. This sets Ruvi apart from Bittensor, which promises compute but lacks metered usage.
