TechFlow News, June 10: Tether announced it is leading the Series C funding round for humanoid robotics company NEURA Robotics, with a maximum financing amount of up to $1.4 billion—making it one of the largest private financings to date in the robotics and “physical AI” sectors.
NEURA Robotics is a multimodal cognitive robotics company whose product portfolio spans humanoid robots, robotic arms, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), and service robots. The company has already established an enterprise customer pipeline and a global industrial partnership network. Several strategic partners also participated as co-investors in this round.
Tether stated that it will not only provide financial support but also deploy core technologies into the NEURA ecosystem—including its open-source Wallet Development Kit (WDK) and edge AI runtime QVAC. Specifically, the WDK will enable robots to embed self-custodial wallet functionality, allowing them to directly receive micropayments and execute transactions upon task completion, and automate economic behaviors under predefined rules—thereby building a “machine payment layer.”
