This week I begin my new role as COO of @YumaGroup. As a company outsider until recently who spent the last few weeks doing intensive onboarding, I can say conclusively that Yuma is, more than anything, a deeply passionate and capable team with a foundational commitment to being positive contributors to the Bittensor ecosystem. I can also assure you: headlines and posts about this company are a fraction of what’s happening behind the scenes. The company is actively validating on 120+ subnets and mining on others, providing supporting infrastructure to innovative young companies around the world. Building out reliable technology services to a wide spectrum of startups with ever-changing needs is no small feat, but it’s happening here 24/7 as the result of substantial and ongoing investment. Yuma is also bringing Bittensor access to people who would not have it otherwise. The team has been a driving force behind the implementation of Tao wallets at many of the world’s leading custodians, as well as the enablement of those custodians’ clients to seamlessly stake their assets. While I’m not at liberty to share numbers or future plans, I can assure you that if you’re part of the Bittesnor ecosystem - in any way - you are a beneficiary of this effort. The company has so far provided capital to 15 subnet operators, empowering entrepreneurs around the world with fuel to test their ideas. This also means Yuma remains deeply engaged with the core of the industry so we can continue to iterate on everything from funding terms to alpha incentives and technology collaborations. Having a well-resourced and genuinely friendly partner is among the greatest accelerants early-stage companies could ask for, and I witness that happening here every day. My job is to apply my experience developing critical infrastructure companies to ensure Yuma continues growing into a strong, resilient organization where great people can do exceptional work, while continuing to elevate Bittensor. That’s no small feat in a market as dynamic as this one, but I have no doubt we’ll do it. Beyond Yuma, I also see tremendous opportunity for collaboration across the industry. This network is at a stage where a rising tide lifts all boats. Bittensor is powerful enough to make that tide a tsunami if people continue to share ideas, have the courage to try new things, and contribute to the ecosystem as a whole. I look forward to the years ahead with you all.

More than a decade ago, I had the privilege of working alongside the Grayscale team who had selected my first company, TradeBlock, to be the reference rate provider for what would eventually become the world's first bitcoin ETF with tens of billions under management. I got to watch their efforts bridge institutional capital into the world's foundational digital currency in its earliest days, offering investors financial exposure to a highly technical asset, while driving critical capital to early-stage companies in the nascent bitcoin economy by virtue of asset appreciation. In the years that followed, it was clear that both groups had benefited tremendously from what Grayscale built. With the launch of Yuma Asset Management today, we get to help bring those same benefits to Bittensor. Driving institutional capital directly into subnet tokens creates high-octane fuel to incentivize miners, validators, and operators, while offering investors financial exposure to an asset whose complexity in these early days would otherwise be out of reach. It's a big day for Yuma. It's an even bigger day for Bittensor.
Introducing Yuma Asset Management. We’re unlocking access to decentralized AI through Bittensor subnet tokens. Backed by a $10 million anchor investment from DCG, Yuma Asset Management bridges investors to a new asset class. Learn more: yumaai.com/updates/yuma-asse…
