Yuma, a subsidiary of Digital Currency Group (DCG) today announced the launch of the Yuma Total Market Fund, a new strategy designed to give institutional allocators and accredited investors broad exposure to early-stage AI infrastructure and application-layer technologies through a single, institutionally managed vehicle. The Yuma Total Market Fund marks the third strategy delivered through Yuma Asset Management, which provides Bittensor-focused, institutional-grade risk management, execution, and reporting within allocator-aligned investment structures.
Yuma launches Total Market Fund for broad Bittensor ecosystem exposure.
Bittensor supports 128 subnets with over $900M in collective subnet asset value.
Subnets include physical hardware, identity, data marketplaces, fraud detection, drug discovery, and real-time video analysis.
Fund provides exposure to TAO token and ecosystem subnets in a single strategy.
Yuma Asset Management now offers three funds: Total Market, Subnet Composite, and Large Cap Subnet.

For many institutional portfolios, exposure to AI today is concentrated in large-cap public equities or illiquid venture investments. Yuma's new fund is designed for investors seeking asymmetric upside from the next wave of AI innovation, outside of traditional public and private markets. The Yuma Total Market Fund provides exposure to TAO, the native token of the Bittensor network, and to the network's ecosystem of subnets in a single strategy, enabling investors to participate in the broader Bittensor ecosystem through a single allocation.
Bittensor is an open-source, decentralized network that supports the development and coordination of AI infrastructure and applications through specialized subnetworks, or "subnets," each focused on building a distinct AI product. Bittensor currently supports 128 subnets with over $900M in collective subnet asset value. These subnets represent a broad range of emerging AI infrastructure and applications, including physical hardware, identity and verification systems, data and model marketplaces, and applications for specialty use cases such as fraud detection, drug discovery, and real-time video analysis. Subnets can compete with traditional commercial offerings on price and performance, including frontier models in a variety of industrial domains.
Barry Silbert, Founder and CEO of Yuma and DCG, stated: "Most investment in AI is being funneled into a few, centralized incumbents that are now attempting to enter the public markets. Bittensor is the alternative: an open, decentralized network shaped by the builders and innovators on the leading edge of AI development. We are offering investors structured and direct exposure to the network economics and vast ecosystem built on it."
The new fund from Yuma Asset Management expands its platform of open-source AI-focused investment vehicles for institutional and accredited investors, which now includes: Yuma Total Market Fund providing full-ecosystem Bittensor exposure across TAO and subnets; Yuma Subnet Composite Fund offering market-cap-weighted exposure to all subnets; and Yuma Large Cap Subnet Fund providing targeted exposure to the largest subnets. This suite of funds enables investors to choose the level of ecosystem exposure that aligns with their investment objectives.
