Fueling the AI x Crypto Frontier: FalconX Launches Bittensor (TAO) Subnet Staking & KAITO Staking
At FalconX, we’ve long believed that the intersection of AI and crypto will shape the next era of innovation in finance. Today, we’re doubling down on that future. We’re excited to announce expanded staking support via FalconX Custody for two of the space’s most prominent AI tokens: Bittensor (TAO) and KAITO.
Going Deeper into the Bittensor Ecosystem
FalconX was the first to offer both custody and staking for TAO—and now, we’re breaking new ground as the first custodian to support subnet staking, unlocking deeper participation in the Bittensor network. This offers an additional layer of yield potential by allowing clients to delegate stake not just at the root level, but within individual subnets tied to specialized AI tasks.
“FalconX is helping institutions move beyond passive TAO exposure,” said Sami Kassab, General Partner at Unsupervised Capital. “With subnet staking, we can now target specific sectors, teams, and approaches within the Bittensor ecosystem, giving us a more granular, liquid, and investable expression of decentralized intelligence.”
Bringing Institutional Access to KAITO
In addition to our enhanced TAO offering, FalconX is launching custody and staking support for KAITO, another AI-focused protocol making waves across the crypto ecosystem. With the project designed to be crypto’s distribution powerhouse for attention, data, and capital, the KAITO token plays a key role in enabling participation, alignment, and rewards across the network.
As a newly launched token, KAITO joins a growing list of innovative protocols supported by FalconX from day one. FalconX Custody provides the infrastructure to execute a seamless TGE, offering secure custody and staking, institutional-grade treasury management, and access to trading and credit solutions tailored to long-term growth.
Following this launch, institutions can now securely hold and stake KAITO through FalconX’s fully integrated platform, trusted by the world’s leading digital asset allocators. Since launch, over $1 billion in KAITO has already been deposited into FalconX Custody, underscoring growing institutional demand.
“Institutional access is key to KAITO’s growth, so partnering with FalconX was a no-brainer for us,” said Yu Hu, CEO at KAITO. “Their custody and staking support gives us a secure, compliant, and seamless way to meet high-value demand—making it easier for more participants to access and invest in the KAITO ecosystem.”
Unlocking the Next Wave of Yield Opportunities
FalconX continues to deliver best-in-class access to emerging digital asset opportunities—especially those that push the frontier. With TAO subnet staking and KAITO staking now live, institutional clients can tap into cutting-edge protocols at the intersection of AI and crypto.
FalconX Custody is an institutional-grade, regulated custody solution with seamless integration across its suite of prime services across trading, financing, and risk management, delivering optimal capital and operational efficiency. Looking ahead, we're excited to expand staking support and unlock yield opportunities for a number of other leading protocols in the coming months.
