Listen to this interesting conversation on
TAO Times and Tailwinds with @jameswoodmanv , @0xarrash & @bloomberg_seth- Pricing Sentiment
Over the past week, the price of $TAO experienced notable fluctuations, reflecting both market dynamics and community sentiment. TAO saw a slight dip this week, attributed to broader bearish trends in the cryptocurrency market due to macroeconomic uncertainties. At the moment of writing, TAO is hovering around $369. For the longer term, we remain optimistic due to the ongoing developments in the ecosystem, which could drive future price appreciation.
