Tether Eyes $1 Billion Robotics Deal as It Expands Beyond USDT

15 November 2025 at 04:44

Tether is in advanced talks to invest around €1 billion in German humanoid-robotics firm Neura Robotics, according to recent reports. 

The move signals one of the clearest shifts yet in Tether’s strategy as the world’s largest stablecoin issuer pushes beyond USDT and into high-technology sectors.

Tethers Is Betting Big On AI Robotics

The proposed investment would value Neura between €8 billion and €10 billion. 

However, the scale of the talks underscores a broader pattern. Tether has spent the past year diversifying into AI infrastructure, robotics, and real-world technology.

Tether Holdings, the issuer of the world's largest stablecoin $USDT, is reportedly in advanced discussions to lead a €1 billion ($1.07 billion) investment round in Neura Robotics, a German startup…

Earlier this year, the company secured access to a 20,000-GPU compute network to build its AI research environment. It also explored major exposure to Neura’s cognitive-robotics platform, which includes humanoid systems designed for industrial and commercial work.

At the same time, Tether has expanded through financial-market partnerships. Its “Hadron by Tether” platform signed agreements with KraneShares and Bitfinex Securities to accelerate tokenized securities adoption. 

The company also deepened its presence in public-sector digital infrastructure through a collaboration with Da Nang city in Vietnam.

These moves come as Tether’s reserves grow. The company reported more than $135 billion in US Treasury exposure and expects record profits this year, giving it unusually large liquidity for private-market deals. 

That financial capacity appears to be funding its push into AI, robotics, and digital-governance technology.

Yet questions remain. Neither Tether nor Neura has confirmed the final size or structure of the investment. 

Analysts note that mass-producing humanoid robots carries technical and supply-chain risk, and the projected valuation depends on Neura scaling production quickly.

Still, Tether’s direction is clear. The firm is moving from a stablecoin-only business to a broader technology investor, tying its future to sectors far beyond digital assets.

EMCD’s Crypto Battle Highlights The Best Investment Strategies For Beginners

14 November 2025 at 05:54

Two opposing crypto strategies went head-to-head during EMCD’s latest Crypto Battle, co-hosted with BeInCrypto, where investors debated how to survive and grow in a volatile market.

The live online event, held on October 30, featured Michael Wrubel, a crypto analyst and YouTuber known for high-risk altcoin strategies, and Jan Warmus, EMCD’s Director of Partnerships, representing a more conservative and mining-focused perspective.

Balancing Risk and Reward

In the first case, both experts assessed a viewer’s Bitcoin-heavy portfolio.

Warmus called it “a sensible, beginner-friendly allocation,” stressing that staying with well-known assets and avoiding coins one doesn’t understand prevents major losses. 

Wrubel countered that while Bitcoin and Ethereum are essential, “the big returns come from lower-cap projects” capable of outsized growth.

The Allure and Danger of Memecoins

When asked how to identify the next 10x token, both speakers agreed such predictions are nearly impossible. Warmus compared the odds to gambling: “Recent analysis showed only 0.12% of new coins reach that level—worse odds than roulette.”

Wrubel focused on sentiment, advising traders to “watch the community on X and Telegram” as hype and engagement often signal potential upside.

Bitcoin Mining Profitability

A story about an early miner selling thousands of BTC for a MacBook set the stage for discussion on Bitcoin’s long-term growth.

Wrubel projected Bitcoin could “surpass $1 million” as institutions adopt it as digital gold. Warmus agreed, linking Bitcoin’s rise to expanding institutional adoption and regulatory clarity. 

However, he warned that mining success now “depends on efficiency, energy costs, and scale,” describing modern mining as “an industrial, not a hobbyist business.”

Institutional and Retail Strategies

For companies with $100,000 to allocate, Wrubel advised a simple 80/20 Bitcoin-Ethereum split. Warmus recommended a diversified model:

  • 70–80% in Bitcoin, ideally with some funds in mining infrastructure;
  • 15–20% in Ethereum;
  • Up to 10% for selective altcoins or tokenized assets.

He emphasized compliance and custody as top priorities for institutional entrants.

For small retail investors, Warmus highlighted Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) as the most reliable entry strategy. “If you invested $100 monthly since 2020, it would now be worth about $26,500,” he said. Wrubel, meanwhile, argued that those seeking “life-changing returns” must accept higher risk with small-cap assets.

Banking, Yield, and Risk

The discussion closed with questions on crypto’s equivalent to bank deposits. Wrubel noted staking as an alternative that provides yield. Warmus cautioned users to remember that “there’s no government guarantee” and that yield always depends on the platform’s risk management.

Closing and Audience Interaction

The session ended with a Q&A and a prize draw for five Tangem wallet winners. Viewers engaged actively in chat, sharing stories of gains and losses.

The contrast between Wrubel’s aggressive investing style and Warmus’s disciplined approach underscored the debate’s central theme: crypto success lies in balancing risk, knowledge, and patience.

Bitcoin Drops Below $100,000 For The Second Time In a Week

14 November 2025 at 04:38

Bitcoin fell below $100,000 for the second time in a week on Thursday, signalling renewed fragility in a market dominated by forced liquidations and heavy selling from long-term holders. 

At the time of reporting, BTC was trading near $98,400. The drop erased a brief recovery above six figures and pushed sentiment toward caution across major trading desks.

The decline triggered a new wave of liquidations. Data shows over $683 million wiped out in the past 24 hours, including $556 million in long positions. Traders were heavily positioned for upside.

Bitcoin alone accounted for $164.5 million in liquidations over the last four hours, with Ethereum and Solana adding another $145 million combined. 

Also, pressure intensified from long-term holders (LTH), one of Bitcoin’s most stable cohorts. 

According to CryptoQuant data, addresses holding BTC for more than six months sold approximately 815,000 BTC in the last 30 days. This is the highest level of selling since January 2024. 

The chart indicates a sustained distribution across cohorts ranging from 6 months to 7+ years, resulting in a consistent supply overhang at current prices.

This selling wave resembles prior cycle peaks where long-term holders locked in profits after multi-month rallies. The pattern is visible on the charts. 

Each spike in LTH spending corresponds with local tops and periods of prolonged consolidation. The current climb to 815,000 BTC spent mirrors the heavy distribution seen at the 2021 and early-2024 highs.

Market analysts note that long-term holder behaviour matters more than short-term trading noise. When seasoned wallets send coins back into circulation, liquidity deepens, but price support weakens. 

It's another one of those days:

All asset classes are trading sharply lower today.

And, attempted intra-day relief rallies are being sold into new lows; a textbook "emotional" correction.

This has become an increasingly common occurrence in 2025, particularly amid record…

Combined with the largest liquidation cluster of the week, the market absorbed both forced selling and voluntary selling at once—magnifying the drawdown.

The next key test sits at the $98,000–$100,000 range, where buyers must step in to prevent a deeper move toward mid-cycle support levels.
