The investment will fund the development of Physical AI systems, a dedicated production facility, and edge AI integrations across logistics, healthcare, and manufacturing. Generative Bionics’ first robot will debut at CES 2026 in Las Vegas.

Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, said the company is backing technologies that expand human potential and reduce reliance on centralized systems. The deal follows Tether’s previous investments in Blackrock Neurotech and its 20,000-GPU AI compute network built with Northern Data and Rumble.

The global humanoid robotics market is expected to exceed €200 billion by 2035, with projections reaching over €5 trillion by 2050 as industries adopt AI-driven automation at scale.
