Jito’s trading volume also saw a significant boost in the past 24 hours, rising by 425.5% compared to the previous trading day. This indicates that more traders are now buying and selling the token. JTO has a market cap of $925 million, just shy of reaching a billion. Meanwhile, its fully diluted valuations stands at $3.2 billion and a circulating supply of 296 million tokens.

Buy orders for JTO will be restricted to around five minutes after trading support begins.

Jito is known as the biggest liquid staking project on Solana, with a TVL of 15.12 million SOL or equal to $2.6 billion according to its website. As previously reported on Jan. 29, Jito rose to become the third largest crypto project by fees with $63 million, falling only behind Tether (USDT) and Tron (TRX).

Jito launched its native token, JTO, in November 2023 as a governing token and to develop liquidity for the Solana-based protocol.

Bittensor price rose sharply on Feb. 19 after crypto exchange Coinbase announced the listing of the native token of the decentralized artificial intelligence network.

As most altcoins registered notable gains in the past 24 hour period, Bittensor (TAO) spiked 20% to hit intraday highs of $420. These gains were modest compared to outperformers in the top 100 coins by market cap such as Story, Sonic, Aptos and Floki. However, with double digit gains, Bittensor ranked among the top performers. 

The performance saw TAO recoup losses it suffered in the past few days as alts mirrored Bitcoin’s struggles. With 20% upside, bulls wiped most of the accrued losses in the month-to-date period, returning to levels seen when Bittensor price reacted positively to AI news around DeepSeek.

Coinbase to list TAO

A dose of volatility saw Bitcoin rebound above $96,000 and XRP rise 6% amid news of Hashdex’s spot XRP exchange-traded fund approval in Brazil. Cryptocurrencies traded slightly higher as investors awaited the Federal Open Market Committee meeting minutes.

This, along with Coinbase’s upcoming listing of Bittensor on Feb. 20, helped push TAO higher.

In an announcement, the U.S.-based crypto exchange confirmed it would add trading support for TAO on the Bittensor network. The phased launch will offer trading with the TAO/USD pair.

“Trading will begin on or after 9AM PT on February 20 2025 if liquidity conditions are met. Once sufficient supply of this asset is established trading on our TAO-USD trading pair will launch in phases,” Coinbase wrote on X.

Bittensor’s price also soared earlier this month after the project released its Dynamic TAO whitepaper, outlining a major upgrade.

Does TAO listing on Coinbase matter?

Bittensor is a top AI token by market cap, currently the second-largest behind NEAR.  Notably, the native token is already listed on Binance, Kraken and other top exchanges. Coinbase listing is nonetheless key as it could give Bittensor further traction.

Besides, the project that launched in 2019 has received investment backing from some of the top venture capital players in the market, including Pantera Capital, Digital Currency Group and Lyrik Ventures.

Grayscale recently noted Bittensor is a crucial project in the AI space as its decentralized model can help increase transparency and democratize access.

According to Grayscale, this is key in the wake of projects such as DeepSeek. While these initiatives highlight the power and potential of open-source AI, the fact that they are centralized companies means there could be risks such as data security and embedded biases. A lack of transparency is another major concern.

Dogwifhat has surged more than 37% in the past 24 hours, with the meme coin’s price rising sharply after token listing news from crypto exchange Coinbase.

Coinbase announced on Nov. 13 that it had added Dogwifhat (WIF) to its listing roadmap. The announcement saw the price of the Solana (SOL) meme coin spike to highs of $4.21 – WIF’s highest price level since March when bulls reached the all-time high of $4.83.

The news excited the Dogwifhat market, with this seeing WIF join Pepe (PEPE) and Dogecoin (DOGE) as the day’s hottest top meme coins. As crypto.news highlighted earlier in the day, Pepe price spiked amid listing news on Coinbase and Robinhood.

Meanwhile, DOGE broke above $0.41 as the ecosystem cheered U.S. president-elect Donald Trump’s announcement that Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy would head the Department of Government Efficiency effort.

In WIF’s case, the latest news from Coinbase has reinvigorated the upside potential that engulfed the token in April. This was when the U.S.-based crypto exchange first announced support for Dogwifhat perpetual futures on Coinbase International and Coinbase Advanced.

In a post on X, Coinbase chief legal officer Paul Grewal confirmed the listing of WIF. According to Grewal, the exchange has added the meme coin to its roadmap amid plans to list it.

With traders largely bullish on listing events, particularly on top exchanges like Coinbase and Binance, the latest news about such an action for Dogwifhat has led to bullish bets. As the market anticipates greater visibility and demand for the meme coin, WIF’s open interest has increased more than 40% to over $729 million.

The token traded at $4.14 at the time of writing, about 14% off its all-time high.
