Institutional Capital Flow Alert: Decentralized AI Fund Positioning Exposed

A major index fund's latest holdings reveal striking concentration patterns in the AI infrastructure space. As of January 6, 2026, the Grayscale Decentralized AI Fund's basket shows where serious capital is betting on the AI narrative:

$TAO dominates at 29.88%—the clear heavyweight in decentralized AI compute.
$NEAR claims second position with 27.31%—substantial exposure to scalable infrastructure.
$RENDER follows at 15.05%—betting on distributed rendering and compute networks.
$FIL holds 13.73%—establishing presence in decentralized storage for AI workloads.
$IP and $GRT round out allocation at 8.73% and 5.30% respectively.

What this tells us: institutional money isn't scattered across random AI tokens. It's flowing decisively into compute, infrastructure, and storage layers. For traders monitoring macro capital flows, this weighting distribution signals where the smart money expects AI adoption to drive real utility and long-term value creation in Web3.

TAO2,36%

NEAR-0,76%

RENDER13,89%

FIL-1,8%

The TAO ratio is a bit outrageous... It seems like institutions are all in on the compute layer, and everything else is just a supporting role.

Good morning everyone, I just saw this position list at 3:30... Institutions are really ruthless, TAO and NEAR alone account for nearly 60%, isn't this just betting on the monopoly of infrastructure? It must have been absorbed early in the dark pool. As retail investors, aren't we just the bagholders now?

Tao and NEAR have such high weights; institutions are really all in on infrastructure, not just following the trend of hype concepts.

Tao and NEAR have such strong weights, it seems that institutions are really betting on infrastructure... However, Render at only 15% feels a bit low, given the huge gap in GPU computing power.
