AI crypto sector hits $14.42B as Bittensor's TAO struggles within $165–$200 range

Over the past 30 days, the crypto AI sector's market cap has climbed from $12.76 billion to $14.42 billion, while Bittensor's TAO has remained stuck in a short-term bearish range between $165 and $200. After a mid-February surge of nearly 50% in five days and a brief move toward $200 on 7 March, TAO faced declining spot demand, negative funding, and rising open interest, pointing to expectations of a move back toward the range lows.
