WHY $TAO IS OUTPERFORMING $RENDER ?
$TAO : Halfway from ATH
$RENDER : Down by 75% from ATH
After the big AI wave in 2024 Bittensor and Render had a similar journey until 2025.
Is it a trend shift or something big is cooking?
Let's check what has changed 👇
In early 2024, $TAO and $RENDER were often mentioned in the same breath.
Both battling for top-30 rankings with nearly identical market caps. Today, their trajectories couldn’t be more different.
Here’s what changed:
👉 Bittensor (TAO)
- Market cap has dropped to $3 billion
- Subnet token ecosystem exploded from $4M to $200M in 2 months
- Number of active subnets tripled
- Demand for decentralized AI learning skyrocketed
TAO’s rise isn’t tied to one use case, it’s grounded in real usage and developer activity.
The subnet model allows for rapid scalability, innovation, and engagement across various AI verticals.
As the crypto-AI narrative strengthens, TAO is positioning itself as the Layer 1 to watch in that space.
👉Render (RENDER)
- Market cap down to $1.6B billion
- Slowing GPU rendering demand
- Price hit hard by volatility
Faces tough competition from centralized providers and other decentralized GPU projects
While Render’s mission of democratizing GPU access still matters, the sector hasn’t seen the same exponential growth as AI.
And with fewer creators relying on decentralized rendering compared to AI compute, RENDER finds itself caught in a niche this is right now not in a bullish wave. But things will change as both AI and GPUs are expected to grow multiple times in the next 5 to 10 years
Which one do you think is the better long-term buy right now?
