Tether, the issuer of the world's largest stablecoin USDT, is in advanced discussions to invest approximately €1 billion in Neura Robotics, a German startup specializing in cognitive humanoid robots. According to reports from the Financial Times on November 14, 2025, this deal would value Neura between €8 billion and €10 billion, positioning it as one of Europe's most significant robotics financings in recent years.
The investment aligns with Tether's broader strategy to diversify beyond digital assets through its venture arm, Tether Evo, into high-technology sectors like artificial intelligence, robotics, renewable energy, and neurotechnology. This move reflects Tether's shift from a stablecoin-focused business to a broader technology investor, leveraging its substantial reserves, which include over $135 billion in US Treasury exposure and expected record profits.
However, the venture faces challenges, as scaling humanoid robots involves complex manufacturing, specialized supply chains, and uncertain commercial timelines. Neither Tether nor Neura has publicly confirmed the final terms, but sources describe the talks as advanced, with details still being finalized.
