by

The stablecoin titan throws coins at Generative Bionics, hoping to birth a new breed of industrial slaves-er, robots. 🤑

Ah, the sweet irony of capitalism! On December 8, 2025, Tether, the financial behemoth with a heart of digital gold, announced its investment in Generative Bionics, a spinoff from the Italian Institute of Technology. A cool €70 million ($81.5 million) was tossed into the ring, because what’s a few million when you’re trying to replace the proletariat with machines? The goal? To craft humanoid robots that can toil in manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and retail-sectors where humans have been sweating for centuries. 🏭👩‍⚕️🛒

With 70 engineers and AI scientists boasting over 600 years of combined experience (yes, you read that right-600 years!), this startup is less a company and more a time capsule of genius. Their mission? To turn Italian scientific research into practical physical AI capabilities. Because nothing says “progress” like a robot that can fold laundry and diagnose a cold. 🧠🤖

CEO Paolo Ardoino, with a straight face, declared that this investment reflects Tether’s commitment to “strengthening global infrastructure and expanding human potential.” Sure, Paolo, sure. We all know it’s really about creating a workforce that never complains, never sleeps, and definitely never unions. The funding will speed up the development of Generative Bionics’ first production facility, with industrial deployment programs set to roll out in early 2026. Mark your calendars, folks-the robot revolution is nigh! 📅

And let’s not forget the juicy projections: the humanoid robotics sector is expected to balloon to €200 billion by 2035. Tether, ever the shrewd investor, is positioning itself at the forefront of this technological gold rush. Or should we say, iron rush? After all, robots don’t need gold-they run on electricity and human tears. 💰⚡
