Digital currency company Tether leads a $30 million funding round for Bit2Me, a digital asset platform, securing a minority stake.
Bit2Me, a leading digital asset platform based in Spain, has announced that Tether is leading a €30 million funding round to accelerate its growth and expansion. The investment will support Bit2Me's mission to unlock the power of decentralized finance (DeFi) in Europe and Latin America.
With the authorization from Spain's CNMV as a Crypto-Asset Service Provider under the EU's MiCA, Bit2Me is now legally authorized to operate across all 27 EU member states. This move is expected to enable broader service deployment in Europe.
In a key market with increasing interest in digital assets and DeFi, Bit2Me plans to focus on expanding its operations in Latin America, particularly in Argentina. Tether's strategic minority stake and support will help strengthen operations, improve compliance, and enhance security.
The funding round, which is expected to close in the coming weeks, will also aid in expanding crypto education through Bit2Me Academy, the largest Spanish-language crypto learning platform. This initiative aims to promote adoption and user empowerment.
Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, expressed his pride in supporting Bit2Me, stating that its focus on compliance, security, and user empowerment aligns with Tether's mission. Andrei Manuel, Co-founder and COO of Bit2Me, echoed this sentiment, stating that the backing from Tether aims to accelerate Bit2Me's leadership in Europe and Latin America.
Tether is proud to support Bit2Me in shaping the future of regulated crypto services in Europe and beyond. Bit2Me currently has over 1.2 million users and over 700 companies, and its transaction volume has surpassed €3 billion in 2025. This funding and the MiCA license will fuel Bit2Me’s strategy to lead the regulated crypto ecosystem in both Europe and Latin America through legal compliance, market expansion, and strong partnerships with established players like Tether.
