🤖Tether Ditches Crypto for Robots and AI-What Now, Helen?🤖

by

Well, isn’t this a twist? Tether, usually the humblebee of crypto mainly buzzing around their beloved USDT, is apparently about to venture into the more…human world of robots. Or maybe I should say Neura-botics now.

In what can only be described as mega-drama meets industrial futuristic spectacle (cue breaking news theme), Tether is eyeing a handsome investment in Neura Robotics, a German startup that’s all about building humanoid bean counters-or robots, you know, the ones that might just take your job… if you haven’t upgraded to driving a dodgy cyber-debt Tesla already. 😜

So, the word on the Financial Times grapevine is that Tether is chit-chatting about leading a nearly €1 billion-or yep, a whopping $1.16 billion-funding round. Neura is pocketing cash like a boss, all in preparation for selling off their handy-dandy gizmos to industrial clients first, then chilling in homes because, well, robots don’t mind moving furniture, do they?

Surely, the name Neura might sound familiar because, hey, this company raised nearly €120 million (or, uh, $140 million) in January from the likes of Volvo and those mysterious BlueCrests. They’ve flung the doors wide open with Morgan Stanley to handle this latest round, probably because even Morgan Stanley knows it needs a map for this future-tech odyssey.

If they finish the deal, Neura Robotics-partage ta maison? Sorry-might be valued at a starry-eyed €8 to €10 billion. That’s a thunderously hefty ten-fold bump on their previous fundraiser. Can you imagine their bank balance right now?

Tether, though, is playing it super mysterious, saying they’re dabbling in a buffet of frontier technologies because “why stick to one dish when the whole table is free?” But secrets-oh, the joy of secrets-they’ll spill them only when it’s done, deal deal deal.

As for turning their focus from crypto basics, it’s like Tether’s CEO Paolo Ardoino sees the future in an even-keeled array of AI agents, endless robotic armies (helpfully keeping humans company?), and even more humans scurrying about connecting digital dots. Oh Paolo, you do keep us on our toes.

With a quiver of $10 billion (for real, we’re not bored here) in profits from their quarterly report, Tether’s raking in cash as fast as Britney’s heyday went viral, ensuring they’ve got enough spare change to build a whole other tech forest. So, naturally, Neura is a glowing beacon on their radar, the epitome of next-gen tech reshaping digital and industrial landscapes.

And as if robots weren’t enough! Enter Tether AI, reportedly “coming soon.” It’s open-source and needs zero API keys or centralized control-pretty much a diary anyone with access can scribble in. The Wallet Development Kit (WDK) is its closest confidant, letting all devices become bonafide crypto wallets. Imagine buying a latte with Lightning-unless the barista insists on cold hard (digital) cash.

So, where does all this leave us? Tether seems all decked out and ready to redefine future living. Or, more like “invest in everything till the world’s your oyster.” Let’s just hope that when they do reveal their next tech masterpiece, we won’t need another robot to understand it-we can just savor the wonder (and maybe a dab of skepticism).
