Tether Leads $1.4B Series C Investment in Humanoid Robotics Firm NEURA

Tether led a Series C funding round of up to $1.4 billion into NEURA Robotics, a German humanoid robotics company, announced Wednesday. The investment marks one of the largest private funding rounds in the physical AI and robotics sectors, with additional investors including Nvidia, Amazon, Qualcomm, Bosch, and the European Investment Bank.

Beyond capital, Tether will integrate its crypto wallet development kit (WDK) and QVAC edge AI runtime directly into NEURA's robotic systems. The WDK enables robots to receive payments for completed tasks, while QVAC allows AI models to execute locally on devices rather than relying on cloud infrastructure, reducing latency and improving operational resilience.
