Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino stated that Blackrock Neurotech, a brain-computer interface company backed by Tether, is far more advanced than Elon Musk's Neuralink. Tether made a $200 million strategic investment in Blackrock Neurotech last April, becoming the majority shareholder of the company. Founded in 2008 at the University of Utah by scientist and brain-computer interface pioneer Dr. Florian Solzbacher and Marcus Gerhardt, Blackrock Neurotech's technology enables patients to operate robotic arms, maneuver wheelchairs, send messages, browse the internet, and even drive cars, all through the power of thought.
