Tether, the stablecoin superstar known for being as steady as a toddler on caffeine, apparently decided to dip its toes into something a tad more mechanical-and potentially terrifying. Rumors flying faster than a drone at a rave suggest that they’re eyeing a €1 billion splash into German AI robotics firm Neura. Yes, robots-because nothing says “cryptocurrency” like metal limbs and mischief.
According to a Financial Times report (which is almost as shiny as Tether’s reputation), this crypto colossus is in advanced talks to lead an eye-watering €1 billion investment that could catapult Neura’s valuation to between €8 billion and €10 billion. Because what better way to diversify than pouring billions into mechanical humanoids that might someday replace customer service reps or, worse, your annoying family members?
Neura, the proud maker of the 4NE1 humanoid robots, is gearing up to crank out robots faster than you can say “SkyNet,” aiming to flood the market with industrial and home assistants. While titans like Nvidia, Tesla, and Softbank shoot to dominate the AI-robot race, Tether’s own vault-amassed from last year’s staggering $13.4 billion profit on U.S. Treasuries-has already thrown its weight behind 140 companies spanning everything from farms to brain tech, with robots unmistakably on their mind.
FT’s report reveals that Neura’s ambitions are gigantic-think aiming for the production of 5 million devices by 2030 and calling it an “iPhone moment” for humanoids. The startup, just six years old, is working hand-in-metal-paw with Morgan Stanley to rally funding that might turn its valuation into a tech circus tent. Earlier this year, they raised €120 million, but (spoiler alert!) this latest move could be a tenfold jump. Because why not?
Meanwhile, the competition is thickening like a good gravy. Tesla’s Optimus, China’s Unitree Robotics, and ambitious American startups like Figure AI and The Bot Company are all vying for a slice of what Nvidia’s Jensen Huang believes could become a trillion-dollar industry. So whether Tether manages to roboticize its way into the history books or just keeps its cards in its digital wallet, one thing’s clear: they’re determined to go far beyond mere digital tokens and into a future where robots might just do your laundry-and maybe even your taxes.
