Nordic leading exchange launches TAO physical-backed ETP, Bittensor opens a new compliant investment channel

2025-12-19 08:46:12

【ChainNews】Nordics are taking action. Under Swedish regulation, digital asset management company Virtune has launched the Bittensor ETP product on Nasdaq Stockholm, marking the first time this AI computing power token has been introduced as a trading instrument on the exchange.

The product has several highlights — it is fully backed by TAO physical assets, achieving a 1:1 exposure, so investors don’t need to worry about tracking errors. The annual management fee is set at 1.95%, which is relatively restrained compared to traditional financial products. Trading is settled in Swedish Krona (SEK), with the code VIRTAO, meaning Nordic investors now have a compliant channel to allocate this popular AI infrastructure token.

From a broader perspective, this reflects institutional investors’ recognition of the Bittensor ecosystem and indicates that traditional financial systems are gradually opening the door to crypto assets. The ETP format allows ordinary investors to participate through formal channels, lowering barriers and risk perception. This move by the Nordics may inspire other developed markets to follow suit.

Nordic countries have also started playing with TAO, it seems that this wave of AI computing power coins has indeed captured the hearts of institutions. The 1:1 exposure with restrained rates gives traditional investors a sense of security, this is the beauty of compliance.

honestly the 1.95% fee structure is just rent extraction wrapped in "regulatory compliance"—if you run the correlation matrix on nordic etps vs spot holdings, the tracking inefficiency alone explains most of that delta. institutional adoption is real tho, can't deny the signaling effect.

Oh no, even the Nordic region can't hold back anymore. Traditional finance is finally starting to get interesting. TAO is physically backed 1:1, now that's reliable, unlike some synthetic products that are a mess. Opening compliant channels is indeed a big deal. More and more retail investors can now legitimately get on board.

North Europe is also starting to compete with TAO. Traditional finance is indeed softening.

Nordic countries are also starting to compete with TAO, traditional finance is really about to get involved. A 1.95% fee rate is honestly acceptable, and the key is the 1:1 physical backing, so there's no fear of being scammed. Wait, when will A-shares also be able to list such products? Oh my, if this continues, even small coin projects will have their turn. The compliant channels are open, but it depends on how many institutions are truly willing to step in.

1:1 exposure, 1.95% fee rate, it seems the supply line is a bit reliable. However, the real significance of this move in Scandinavia is that traditional finance has finally lowered its stance.

A 1.95% fee rate is pretty good, but I'm concerned about whether the liquidity is deep enough. TAO has finally caught the attention of the mainstream, indicating that the fundamentals are indeed solid. Nordic took the lead, which is a typical institutional testing of the waters signal. The compliant channels are open, and retail investors can also join in and get a share. However, pure physical backing is indeed attractive, at least there's no need to worry about being cut off like chives.
