Bitget Partners with Yuma to Expand Global Access to Bittensor (TAO) Staking

Victoria, Seychelles, February 13, 2026 — Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), announced a partnership with the leading TAO infrastructure provider, Yuma, to deliver TAO staking services on the Bitget platform. Under the collaboration, Yuma will serve as Bitget’s validator service provider, supporting scalable and reliable access to the Bittensor network for Bitget’s global user base.

Bitget was the first centralized exchange to introduce TAO staking in 2025, providing early access to the Bittensor ecosystem as decentralized AI networks began gaining momentum. The partnership with Yuma builds on that foundation by strengthening the underlying infrastructure that supports staking operations, enabling Bitget to extend access to TAO participation with greater scale and operational consistency.

Through Yuma’s non-custodial validator services, Bitget users can participate in TAO staking without managing validator infrastructure directly. The arrangement abstracts technical complexity while supporting institutional grade network participation, allowing users to engage with Bittensor through a streamlined staking experience.

The partnership also aligns with Bitget’s continued platform evolution under the UEX framework, which brings trading, yield, and on-chain participation together within a single account structure. As Bitget expands its on-chain offerings alongside spot, derivatives, and TradFi products, infrastructure partnerships play a central role in enabling reliable access to new networks.

“Bitget introduced TAO staking early to give users direct access to the Bittensor ecosystem as it emerged,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “Working with Yuma strengthens the infrastructure behind that access, allowing TAO participation to scale in a way that remains reliable and easy to use.”

“Yuma operates institutional grade infrastructure to support large-scale participation in the Bittensor network ,” said Evan Malanga, CRO of Yuma. “Partnering with Bitget expands TAO access to a global audience through a platform that already serves millions of users.”

By combining Bitget’s global reach with Yuma’s infrastructure, the partnership expands access to Bittensor while reinforcing Bitget’s role in bringing emerging digital asset sectors to market through professionally operated systems.
