Bull Run Timing vs TAO Halving

Bitcoin halving: April 2024 → usually triggers a bull market 12–18 months later.

That means the peak of the BTC-led bull run could happen around late 2025 to mid-2026.

TAO halving: Dec 2025 → perfectly overlaps with altcoin season + BTC momentum.

✅ This alignment gives TAO extra fuel: scarcity + hype + overall bull cycle liquidity.

2. Effect of TAO Halving on Rewards & Hashrate

Before halving: ~7,200 TAO/day issued.

After halving: ~3,600 TAO/day issued.

That’s a 50% cut in miner/validator rewards.

Hashrate Effect:

In Bittensor, “hashrate” = computational power miners provide for AI training.

When rewards drop, low-efficiency miners may shut down, reducing hashrate.

Only the most efficient miners survive, making the network leaner but stronger.

3. Market Impact of Reward Cut

Less TAO is sold daily → sell pressure is halved.

If demand is stable or increasing, scarcity pushes price up.

In crypto history (BTC, LTC), halvings usually start a supply shock rally 3–6 months after the event.

4. Possible Scenario for TAO

Q3–Q4 2025: BTC bull run heats up → TAO rallies with market.

Dec 2025: TAO halving → supply shock, miners sell less, narrative pumps.

2026: Post-halving AI adoption + bull market peak → potential parabolic move for TAO
