Tether Acquires Stakes in Bit2Me, Leads €30M Funding

Key Highlights

• Tether acquires a minority stake in Bit2Me, showing strong confidence in the exchange and its growth potential. 
• €30 million funding round led by Tether will support Bit2Me’s expansion across the EU and Latin America. 
• Bit2Me became the first Spanish speaking exchange authorized under the EU’s MiCA regulation. 

Tether, the heavyweight of the digital asset world, is making moves, snapping up a minority stake in Bit2Me, a top-tier crypto platform serving Spanish-speaking markets. Moreover, Tether is also lending a €30 funding round set to wrap up soon, fuelling Bit2Me’s ambitious plans to expand across the EU and deepen its presence in Latin America, with Argentina in sharp focus.

Bit2Me recently made headlines as the first Spanish-speaking exchange to gain approval from Spain’s CNMV under the EU’s MiCA regulations, giving it the green light to operate legally in all 27 EU countries. With regulatory backing and Tether’s firepower, Bit2Me is poised to scale up and shake things up across borders.

Bit2Me, started in 2014, now has over 1.2 million users and works with more than 7,000 companies. In 2025, it handled over €3 billion in transactions. The new investment for the company is helping it grow faster and lead in both Europe and Latin America.

Leadership Insights Highlight Strategic Alignment

Tether’s CEO, Paolo Ardoino, said the two companies share the same vision. He praised Bit2Me for building safe, easy-to-use tools that follow the rules. He also said Bit2Me’s focus on education, honesty, and helping users fits well with Tether’s goal of creating an open financial system for everyone.

Bit2Me’s team also shared their excitement about the new investment. Co-founder and COO Andrei Manuel said Tether’s support will help the company grow a little faster in new areas where decentralized finance is just starting to boom. Co-founder and CFO Pablo Casadio added that Bit2Me has earned people’s trust over the past 10 years by focusing on clear rules, transparency, and customer-first innovation. With the help of Tether, the company is ready to grow quickly in products, users and countries.

This news has come forward as Bit2Me continues to reach important milestones. The company has improved its security and followed strict rules, earning certifications like the ISO/IEC27001 for information security. It also works with well-known partners like Ledger Enterprise. Thanks to its MiCA license, Bit2Me can now easily serve in the European market.

Past Successes Lay the Groundwork for Expansion

Bit2Me has attracted a strong backing in the past as well. Previously a €14 million funding round was carried out where big names like Investcorp, Telefonica Ventures, Stratminds, and Emurgo were involved. With this funding, Bit2Me was able to become a top player in Spain and then was able to expand in the region of Latin America. With this new investment from Tether will hopefully do the same for Bit2Me.

Bit2Me now offers more than 20 digital asset services, like trading, wallets, learning tools, and payment solutions. The company also launched its own token B2M, which rewards users with lower fees and lets them vote on platform updates. These efforts help grow interest in crypto and keep users engaged.

The Tether-Bit2Me partnership isn’t about just money but it is more about power. Along with the capital that is being offered, this parternship will also bring expertise from both the ends, increased global reach, and credibility in the world of regulated digital finance. Since both the teams are now aligned, the goal is much more clear now. Both of these companies will now make crypto safer, simpler, and actually useful for real people and real businesses around the world.
