- Bittensor's TAO surged 23% in Nov 2025 after Safello/DDA launched the staked TAO ETP (STAO) on SIX Swiss Exchange, boosting institutional adoption. - AI-driven crypto gains momentum as Bitcoin miners raise $11B for data centers, while DeepSnitch AI ($DSNT) emerges as a presale disruptor with $486K raised. - Coinbase reported $432.6M Q3 profit with $300B+ custody assets, reflecting crypto finance maturation, while Strategy's 5.7% share jump followed $2.8B net income. - Analysts forecast 115% TAO price gro

TAO, the

Bittensor

AI-based digital currency, jumped 23% at the start of November 2025 after a new European ETP (Exchange-Traded Product) debuted on the SIX Swiss Exchange, as reported by

a Coindoo report

. The staked Bittensor ETP (STAO), created by Safello and DDA, allows regulated investors to gain exposure to

TAO

and benefit from staking rewards, representing a major step for institutional involvement, according to Coindoo. This launch came as the broader market showed strong interest in AI-related assets, with

Bitcoin

miners reportedly raising $11 billion through convertible bonds to fund AI data center construction, the article noted.

TAO's price surge reflected a wider recovery in the crypto sector, with

Virtuals Protocol

(VIRTUAL) climbing more than 65% over the week, Coindoo stated. Experts pointed to the possibility of outsized gains in early-stage AI tokens, while established names like TAO and

VIRTUAL

focus on consistent growth, the report continued.

At the same time, institutional trust in digital assets continued to strengthen.

Coinbase

posted a net profit of $432.6 million and revenue of $1.9 billion for Q3, fueled by institutional trading and stablecoin activity, according to a

DigitalJournal report

. The exchange's third-quarter performance highlighted the growing maturity of crypto finance, with assets under custody exceeding $300 billion, DigitalJournal noted. Likewise, Strategy, a Bitcoin treasury company, saw its stock rise 5.7% in after-hours trading after reporting $2.8 billion in Q3 net income, beating Wall Street expectations, Coindoo reported.

In traditional equities, earnings season brought mixed outcomes. Otter Tail (OTTR) saw a 2.7% drop in Q2 2025 revenue but surpassed earnings-per-share forecasts, as detailed on the

MarketBeat earnings page

, while Proto Labs (PRLB) achieved 7.8% revenue growth, driven by strong demand for U.S. CNC machining and sheet metal, according to

a Fool transcript

. Conversely, European manufacturing softness weighed on companies like nVent (NVT), which reported robust results from its EPG AVAIL unit but cautioned about ongoing regional headwinds, as per

an Nvent transcript

The AI industry's momentum was further supported by analyst insights. RBC's Elvira Scotto upgraded Williams (WMB) to "buy" ahead of its Q3 report, citing long-term growth drivers for natural gas infrastructure linked to AI and data center expansion, according to

a CNBC article

. Philips also emphasized AI's contribution in its Q2 2025 update, reporting stable progress in its Diagnosis & Treatment and Connected Care divisions, as noted in an

With these developments unfolding, the introduction of the STAO ETP has brought new institutional liquidity to TAO, and analysts are predicting a possible 115% price rise by October 2026, according to Coindoo. Still, volatility remains a key risk, especially for speculative tokens in the early stage, which face questions about self-reported trading volumes, DigitalJournal observed.
