Tether purchases stake in Spain’s Bit2Me

Tether, the world’s largest company in the digital assets industry, has acquired a minority equity stake in Bit2Me, Spain’s leading Spanish-speaking cryptocurrency platform, as part of a €30 million funding round announced on August 7 (Tether).

The investment is expected to support Bit2Me in its expansion throughout the European Union, and will strengthen operations in Latin America – particularly Argentina.

First Spanish-speaking exchange licensed across the EU

This deal was announced shortly after Bit2Me, the first Spanish-speaking Exchange to be authorised by Spain’s CNMV under the EU Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulations (MiCA), became the first exchange in the Spanish-speaking world to receive authorization as a Crypto-Asset Service Provider. This license allows Bit2Me to legally operate in all 27 EU member countries.

Tether’s CEO Paolo Ardoino commented, “Bit2Me consistently demonstrated its commitment in building compliant and secure infrastructure for the digital assets ecosystem. Tether shares their commitment to enabling an open financial ecosystem. Their focus on user empowerment, transparency and education is similar. We are proud to support Bit2Me in their efforts to shape the future of regulated cryptocurrency services in Europe and elsewhere.”

Bit2Me calls Tether deal ‘transformational’

Founded in 2014, Bit2Me has over 1.2 million users and serves more than 7,000 companies, with transaction volumes exceeding €3 billion in 2025 so far. The company said that its partnership with Tether would accelerate growth in key market.

Andrei Manuel, Bit2Me’s COO and Co-Founder, said that “Welcoming Tether to our shareholding structure represents a moment of transformation for Bit2Me.” With their support, we hope to accelerate our growth in Europe and Latin America – markets that have just begun to discover the power of decentralised financing.

Co-founder and CFO Pablo Casadío added, “Our strong growth and trusted reputation are the result of more than a decade of commitment to transparency, regulation, and customer-centric innovation. With Tether’s support, we’re now positioned to scale even faster — across products, users, and geographies.”

Strengthening Europe’s crypto landscape

According to the press release, the funding round is expected to close within the next few weeks. Tether will be leading the efforts in Europe and Latin America to boost the adoption of stablecoins and expand Bit2Me’s services.

The move highlights Tether’s growing strategic importance in building crypto infrastructure on regulated markets, particularly as the EU’s MiCA framework increases compliance standards.

With both companies emphasising transparency, compliance, and accessibility, this partnership could mark a pivotal moment for stablecoins in Europe – but it may also invite fresh regulatory attention as adoption accelerates.
