Tether Acquires Stake in Bit2Me, Leading €30M Investment Round

Highlights:

• Tether acquires a minority stake in Bit2Me and leads a €30M funding round.
• Bit2Me is a MiCA license holder that operates throughout the EU.
• Expansion targets include Latin America, especially Argentina.

Tether has acquired a minority stake in Bit2Me, a Spanish-speaking crypto exchange. The investment was part of a €30 million funding round that was led by Tether. As per the statement, this strategic move is expected to ramp up the growth of Bit2Me in Europe and Latin America.

This investment came after Bit2Me received authorization in the EU according to the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). The MiCA license will enable the company to practice in all 27 member states of the EU legally. Furthermore, it becomes the first Spanish-speaking platform to be approved for this license by CNMV in Spain.

Bit2Me was launched in 2014 and has nearly 1.2 million users and accommodates more than 7,000 firms. In addition, in 2025, it will have over €3 billion in total transaction volume. Tether found this combination of reach, compliance, and regional experience appealing enough to provide the backing. Paolo Ardoino, the CEO of Tether, said, “Bit2Me has already shown its willingness to develop compliant, secure and easy to use infrastructure.” He added that Tether reinforces the company’s policy of education and transparency in digital finance.

Tether Supports Expansion Across Latin America

The expansion plan of Bit2Me involves increasing its markets in Latin America. The company has a license as a Virtual Asset Service Provider in Argentina and intends to expand services in the region. The Latin American crypto market is still growing because of rising interest in decentralized finance services.

Bit2Me plans to accelerate the development of its products with the new capital and improve its customer service, as well as venture into other markets. Co-founder Andrei Manuel claimed, “The inclusion of a global leader such as Tether into our shareholding structure is a transformational moment.” Co-founder Pablo Casadio further stated, “Our robust growth and credible reputation come as a result of more than ten years of investing in transparency and regulation.” He believes that the presence of Tether will help in accelerating the pace of innovations and scaling at Bit2Me.

Other key investors, including Telef nica, BBVA, and Unicaja, also contributed to this round of funding. Their contribution also indicates the confidence of institutions in the operational criteria and development of Bit2Me.

Tether’s Broader Strategy Includes Multiple Global Investments

This investment in Bit2Me falls within Tether’s broader strategic interest. The company continues to invest capital in tech infrastructure around the world through its venture division, located in El Salvador, Tether Ventures. Recently, Tether invested in Orionx, a finance company specializing in cross-border payments. The financing completed the Series A round of Orionx and is meant to improve digital services for Latin American customers.
