Tether Invests in Bit2Me and Leads €30 Million Funding Round

Tether, a prominent entity in the digital asset sector, has strategically acquired a minority stake in Bit2Me, a leading platform catering to Spanish-speaking cryptocurrency users. This acquisition is paired with Tether spearheading a €30 million funding round, aimed at bolstering Bit2Me’s expansion across the European Union and enhancing its operations in Latin America, with a particular focus on Argentina, according to Tether.

Regulatory Milestone for Bit2Me

The investment comes on the heels of Bit2Me achieving a significant regulatory milestone, becoming the first Spanish-speaking exchange to receive authorization from Spain’s CNMV as a Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). This license allows Bit2Me to legally operate across all 27 EU member states, marking a pivotal step in its growth trajectory.

Strategic Alignment with Tether

Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating that Bit2Me’s dedication to building compliant and secure digital asset infrastructure aligns closely with Tether’s mission of fostering an open financial system. “We’re proud to support Bit2Me as they help shape the future of regulated crypto services in Europe and beyond,” Ardoino noted.

Bit2Me’s Growth and Ambitions

Founded in 2014, Bit2Me boasts over 1.2 million users and more than 7,000 business clients, with a transaction volume exceeding €3 billion in 2025. Andrei Manuel, Co-founder and COO of Bit2Me, described Tether’s involvement as a transformational moment, poised to accelerate Bit2Me’s leadership in Europe and Latin America. Pablo Casadío, Co-founder and CFO of Bit2Me, emphasized the company’s commitment to transparency and regulation, highlighting that Tether’s support positions Bit2Me to scale rapidly across products and geographies.

Future Prospects

This strategic investment by Tether underscores its commitment to supporting platforms that align with its vision of expanding regulated crypto services globally. As Bit2Me continues to grow, the backing from a major player like Tether is expected to significantly enhance its capabilities and market reach.
