Tether Bets on the Future of the Brain: Its Neurotech Is Reportedly Ahead of Musk’s Neuralink

Tether, best known for its USDT stablecoin, has recently expanded its investments far beyond the world of crypto — and now it's aiming directly at the human brain. In a recent podcast, CEO Paolo Ardoino revealed that one of his favorite projects is Blackrock Neurotech, a brain-computer interface (BCI) company he claims is ahead of Elon Musk’s Neuralink. 🔬 Blackrock Neurotech isn’t new — it was founded in 2008 by scientists at the University of Utah. Its technology has enabled patients to control robotic limbs, write messages, browse the internet, and even drive a car — all using only their thoughts. In April 2024, Tether invested $200 million into the company, becoming its majority shareholder. “They already have over 40 patients. The next iteration of the brain chip is just insane,” said Ardoino, adding that in many ways the company is ahead of Neuralink.

🧬 An Open-Source Operating System for the Brain Ardoino has even bigger ambitions: he wants to develop an open-source brain operating system that would allow individuals to retain control over their brain data. “I want people to be free from tech giants. I’m paranoid, and I want to make sure everyone plays by the same rules,” he said. His vision stretches 30 years into the future — he believes BCI devices will become as common as smartphones.

⚡ Tether Expands Beyond Crypto While most know Tether as the firm behind USDT, its ambitions are much broader. With fewer than 200 employees, the company generated $13 billion in profits in 2024 and holds more than 100,000 BTC. It reinvests aggressively in areas such as: 🔹 Artificial Intelligence

🔹 Telecommunications

🔹 Data Centers

🔹 Energy Infrastructure

🔹 Bitcoin Mining

🔹 Neurotechnology

Ardoino is transforming Tether from a crypto firm into a visionary tech powerhouse investing in the future of human cognition.
