June 10: Tether confirmed it is leading a $1.4 billion USD Series C funding round for Neura Robotics. Today, German robotics startup Neura Robotics—based in Meckingen—announced it is closing a roughly €1 billion funding round to accelerate development of AI-driven humanoid robots. The round is projected to lift Neura Robotics’ valuation to around €4 billion, with potential for future follow-on rounds. Founded in 2019 by David Reger, Neura Robotics specializes in "cognitive robots" with vision, hearing, and environmental awareness. The firm also builds industrial and consumer robots, and has developed the Neuraverse software platform to enable intelligent human-robot collaboration. Public filings show the startup previously raised €120 million in January 2025, in a round led by Lingotto Investment Management, with Volvo Cars Tech Fund among other backers. Neura Robotics says its order backlog is nearly $1 billion, with clients including Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Omron.

June 10th – Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin announced Ethereum is on track to become a fully zk-SNARK-based protocol within 3 to 5 years. Through initiatives like “Lean Ethereum,” the project aims to strengthen Layer 1 capabilities and gradually roll over real-time zk-SNARK technology already deployed on Layer 2s to the mainnet. This move will significantly boost base-layer performance, improve composability between Layer 2s, and lay the groundwork for trustless atomic cross-chain transactions, unified fragmented liquidity, and a more streamlined user experience. Lubin is a strong advocate of a rollup-centric roadmap, arguing Layer 2s serve as an ideal testing ground for cutting-edge technology—even amid criticisms of network fragmentation raised by Vitalik Buterin and other industry voices. As Ethereum transitions from its early decentralization phase to an aggregation-focused evolution, Layer 2s will continue to play a pivotal role in helping Ethereum realize its “world computer” v

On June 10th, Morgan Stanley’s latest projections show that global AI-related bond issuance is set to hit nearly $570 billion by 2026—more than double the total from last year. As of the end of May, roughly $236 billion in global AI-focused debt financing has been issued, around four times the amount recorded in the same period a year earlier. With capital expenditures by mega-scale cloud service providers projected to exceed $1 trillion in 2027, Morgan Stanley forecasts the bond issuance pace will further accelerate in the second half of this year. To diversify financing channels, tech giants like Alphabet and Amazon have issued a large volume of Eurobonds, expanding their financing currencies beyond the U.S. dollar market. Meanwhile, semiconductor firms are increasingly leaning toward short-term financing with installment repayment structures. The core reason for the surge in AI-linked debt is that tech giants’ capital expenditures have far outpaced their profit coverage. Bank of Am
