It visually expands on Mark Cuban's quote by showcasing the specific projects—$CHIP, $ATH, $IO, $TAO, $ONDO, $AKT, $RENDER—that already represent the "chips as an asset class" thesis, with Bittensor ($TAO) notably the largest at $2.22B market cap. > > "Mark Cuban says chips as an asset class will be the new crypto. 9 tokens already own that trade → $CHIP : owns the GPU → $ATH : rents the GPU out → $IO : rents the GPU out → $TAO : buys the compute → $ONDO : owns the chipmaker → $AKT : rents the GPU out → $RENDER :" ### Post #2 by @reddit > **Author:** Scarcasm39 ([@reddit](https://x.com/reddit)) > **Metrics:** 95 likes · 0 retweets · 7 comments · 9.5K views > **Posted:** 2026-08-15T12:26:31.891000+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/reddit/status/0467304b9828b32d0c9afdd1673d0e82b38bceac76a2cdae06e1fa9ecac26c7c](https://x.com/reddit/status/0467304b9828b32d0c9afdd1673d0e82b38bceac76a2cdae06e1fa9ecac26c7c) > > "A birthday gift from one of my sons.
