Founded in 2019, the company has gained expertise in “cognitive robotics.” These are machines to understand their surroundings, respond to voice commands, and gestures. By doing this, they perform complex tasks on their own.

According to the report, this injection of cash from the crypto firm will be used to increase production of Neura’s newest humanoid robot. The funding will also help the company handle its growing order book, which is already valued at billions of dollars from major clients like Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Omron Corp. 

David Reger, founder and CEO of NEURA Robotics, stated earlier, “Cognitive robotics is expected to become bigger than the smartphone. I am proud that NEURA is the first one to ship a commercially viable cognitive cobot and is one of the most important players in humanoid robotics. This investment shows the confidence our investors have in my team and in pioneering advanced robotics in Europe.”

Tether Expands Its Ecosystem

Under its Trade Finance division, the company has already loaned out $1.5 billion to traders dealing in physical goods like oil, cotton, and wheat. Tether CEO, Paolo Ardoino, described this unit as a major source of growth. 

In 2025, Tether is continuously expanding its ecosystem. Tether has launched its USDT stablecoin on the Bitcoin and Lightning networks. It has also introduced a new U.S.-focused stablecoin, USAT, which is developed to comply with new American regulations for stablecoins like the GENIUS Act. 

Apart from this, the company has also formed additional partnerships, such as a recent agreement with the city of Da Nang in Vietnam for digital infrastructure development. The company has also expanded its operations by focusing support on the most active blockchain networks, like Tron and Ethereum.

With additions like an impressive gold reserve backing another of its stablecoins and new hiring from traditional finance giants like HSBC, Tether is planning to become a multifaceted company.
