Unilabs (UNIL) Could Outshine Bittensor (TAO) and Near Protocol (NEAR) by Offering Real Utility, AI-Managed Portfolios

In a rapidly evolving crypto market, a leading fund manager has just spotlighted an under-the-radar altcoin, Unilabs (UNIL), that offers real utility, AI-managed portfolios

In the dynamic landscape of cryptocurrency, a leading fund manager has highlighted an emerging altcoin that offers real utility and could outshine established projects like Bittensor (TAO) and Near Protocol (NEAR).

As institutional interest in artificial intelligence continues to rise, Bittensor has seen its TAO more than double thanks to its positioning as a hub for decentralized AI. The recent spike in price movements coincides with major events in the AI space and broader cryptocurrency trends.

As an open-source blockchain project that powers machine learning networks, Bittensor enables users to extract valuable information from the network and adjust its activities to suit their specific needs. While Bittensor appears to be a frontrunner in the AI sector, experiencing increased adoption and leading to optimistic TAO price predictions for 2030, a new entrant in the AI DeFi asset manager space could soon outshine it.

Prominent research firms have shared optimism about the Bittensor price. According to Wallet Investor's prediction, TAO crypto could rally to reach $1,215 by 2026. Similarly, Coinpedia forecasts the project to outperform during the next altcoin season.

At the forefront of blockchain innovation stands Near Protocol, a decentralized platform that addresses scalability issues while maintaining security and decentralization. It leverages a unique sharding approach that empowers developers to build high-performance dApps with minimal transaction costs and rapid confirmation times.

These distinct features have driven up demand for NEAR, which has been hovering around $2.70, leading analysts to forecast a slight dip, presenting an opportunity for investors. Despite dropping in value during Q1, NEAR saw its DEX trading volume double during the same period.

Growing user activity and recent technical upgrades have made Near Protocol one of the best cryptos in 2025. As one of the fastest blockchains, capable of executing up to 6,500 transactions per second, compared to Solana’s 5,000 transactions per second, it’s no surprise that it’s heating up.

After smashing its all-time high during the last bull market, NEAR’s next leg could start once the current consolidation ends. With strong developer activity, faster speeds, and increasing real-world adoption, NEAR might be on the right track for a solid recovery.

While Near Protocol and Bittensor are crypto blue chips, Unilabs’s AI-powered asset management protocol could render them obsolete. Designed to offer retail and institutional users investments across four performance-focused funds—the AI Fund, RWA Fund, Mining Fund, and BTC Fund—the platform is already managing over $30 million in assets.

Each fund uses a proprietary AI to evaluate cross-chain analytics, volatility metrics, and sentiment indicators. It features a blockchain-based profit-sharing model that distributes returns to investors in a transparent, efficient, and automated way. This system uses smart contracts to handle and distribute investment activities such as capital positions, staking yields, and arbitrage gains.

The Unilabs team has mapped out a balanced and strategic tokenomics that promotes long-term UNIL sustainability. 40% of all UNIL tokens are allocated to its presale, ensuring broad participation and early community involvement in the project's success.

Meanwhile, token allocations for the team, ecosystem development, and liquidity will enhance innovation, ensure sufficient market depth for optimal price stability, and facilitate operational efficiency. The portion reserved for marketing will aid in generating awareness and fostering adoption.

Ultimately, this will create a strong foundation for token value appreciation from its current price levels of $0.0051, while reducing the risk of short-term manipulation.
