Summary

Tether, the issuer of the largest stablecoin USDT, is reportedly mulling a $1.16 billion funding round in the German tech startup Neura Robotics, according to the Financial Times. This potential deal was discussed at a valuation for Neura Robotics between $9.29 billion and $11.6 billion. Tether has been actively diversifying its investment portfolio, having generated over $10 billion in profits in the first three quarters of the year, with investments spanning AI, data centers, energy infrastructure, and bitcoin mining.

Neura Robotics previously raised nearly $140 million in January and will compete with companies like Tesla in the robotics space.
