Tether to Lead NEURA Robotics’ Series C Financing
10 June 2026 – Tether Investments announced today its role as the lead investor in one of the largest private investment rounds in humanoid robotics. By supporting the raise of up to $1.4bn from a diversified group of strategic and financial investors into NEURA Robotics, the group takes a decisive step by backing a company redefining how machines think, move, interact, and transact with the physical world.
NEURA Robotics portfolio
NEURA Robotics is a multi-form-factor cognitive robotics company developing humanoids, precision robotic arms, autonomous mobile robots (AGVs/AMRs), and service robots. At the center of NEURA’s long-term strategy is Neuraverse, a unified software platform connecting robots, components, AI models, data, compute, and services into a single, interoperable ecosystem.
WDK wallet integration
NEURA’s robotic platforms are expected to integrate the Wallet Development Kit (WDK), embedding self-custodial wallet functionality directly into robotic systems. The integration enables machines to earn micropayments for completed tasks, transact with other systems, and execute economic actions within predefined parameters — making settlement part of the workflow itself.
QVAC edge AI
NEURA will collaborate in testing, improving and deploying Tether’s QVAC edge-first AI runtime in the Neuraverse, enabling AI models to execute locally on device rather than relying entirely on remote cloud infrastructure. Local execution reduces latency, improves operational resilience, and limits dependence on concentrated hyperscale compute providers.
Executive quotes
“As robotics moves beyond scripted automation and into true autonomy, the infrastructure behind it must evolve as well,” said Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether. “QVAC brings that edge-first intelligence to the platform while WDK handles the secure financial layer, together enabling machines to execute tasks, account for outcomes, and operate independently.”
“AI is moving from the digital world into the physical world. Together with Tether, we see a future where intelligent machines can not only learn and act autonomously, but also coordinate, transact, and create value in a trusted global ecosystem,” said David Reger, Founder & CEO of NEURA Robotics.
For Tether, this investment continues to push the company beyond digital liquidity and into the space where robotics, edge AI, and embedded financial systems converge.
