Bittensor (TAO) price rallied 20% on Friday, October 31, climbing from $414 to $490 after the debut of Europe’s first staked TAO exchange-traded product (ETP).

The rally follows the launch of the Safello Bittensor Staked TAO ETP (ticker: STAO) by Deutsche Digital Assets (DDA) and Safello on Wednesday.

According to a Coindesk report , the new Bittensor ETP, now trading on major European platforms including the SIX Swiss Exchange, provides institutional-grade exposure to TAO, the native token of the decentralized AI network Bittensor.

It also allows investors to benefit from both staking rewards and TAO’s price appreciation, fully backed by tokens held in cold storage by a regulated custodian. The firm confirmed a 1.49% management fee covering reinvested staking returns and operational costs for European investors seeking regulated access to the AI-token economy.

Alongside the ETP-driven rally, investors are also pricing in Bittensor’s upcoming halving event, expected to take place before the end of 2025. According to data from Bittensorhalving.com , the event will cut TAO mining rewards by 50% in just over 41 days (between December 10 and December 11).

CoinMarketCap data shows TAO’s daily trading volume rose 59% intraday, reflecting heightened speculative activity around both the halving event and the ETP listing.

Bittensor Price Forecast: Can Halving Bets Spark a Break Above $600?

On the technical chart, TAO continues to show upside potential. Despite minor pullbacks over the past week, the price has consistently formed higher lows since October 10, signaling sustained accumulation following the ETP-driven breakout.

The Keltner Channel bands are widening, indicating the market remains primed for increased volatility. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits near 65.7, while a bullish MACD crossover suggests further room to move higher before entering overbought territory.

Immediate resistance lies at $540, TAO’s current 2025 peak set in May. A breakout above $510, confirmed by a sustained close above the upper Keltner band, would validate the bullish continuation pattern.

On the downside, initial support sits at $460, with a stronger demand zone near $430, aligning with the mid-channel trendline. A decisive close below $430 would invalidate the bullish outlook and could expose TAO to a deeper correction toward $380.

U.S. mortgage rates are experiencing a sharp upward surge. In just over a month, the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate has climbed by a full percentage point, reaching above 7.5%, the highest level in three years. As a result, homebuyer demand has plummeted, and existing home sales in September are expected to show a significant decline.

Bank of America Hartnett: Interest rate hikes become the biggest bullish factor, the logic of ending the bond bubble is spreading

Bank of America strategist Hartnett has made a counterintuitive assessment: the most favorable event for the stock market before the end of the year would be for the Federal Reserve to proactively raise interest rates in October—using a tightening move to curb the out-of-control long end. If the Fed proves its willingness to control inflation and term premium through an October rate hike, the market may actually stop worrying about the 10-year yield surging toward 6%, thereby easing pressure on stocks. Currently, while US stocks have not yet been brought down by interest rates, cracks are quietly spreading in South Korean brokers, French government bonds, and CCC-rated credit bonds.

Goldman Sachs chart: "Gasoline prices determine the US midterm election"! Prediction market shows "Democrats have a 65% chance of sweeping both chambers"

A recent report from Goldman Sachs shows that the Iran war caused oil prices to surge from $3 to $5 per gallon, while the Democratic Party's lead in the general ballot simultaneously expanded from 5 to 9 percentage points—two trends that closely align. Goldman Sachs believes that Hurricane Isaias, once again impacting 63% of offshore capacity in the Gulf of Mexico, has made oil prices a true "ballot decider." Bank of America warns that if the Senate sweeps both chambers, it will trigger significant risk aversion, potentially causing the stock market to plunge by over 10% and weakening the US dollar.
