According to Odaily, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino has predicted that brain-computer interface (BCI) technology will become a mainstream consumer product within the next 20 years. This statement follows a significant breakthrough by Blackrock Neurotech, a company within Tether's investment portfolio, which successfully restored communication abilities in a patient who had nearly lost the ability to speak due to severe conditions.

Ardoino believes that BCI technology holds the potential to provide solutions for patients suffering from paralysis and neurological disorders. He also envisions the emergence of 'Human Sapiens^3,' a new class of humans with advanced computational capabilities and access to artificial intelligence. However, Ardoino emphasizes that this technology must be open, secure, and respectful of privacy.

This development is part of Tether's broader EVO strategy, which aims to enhance human capabilities in the future.
