Tether Acquires Minority Stake in Bit2Me and Leads €30 Million Funding Round

7 August 2025 –  Tether, the largest company in the digital assets industry, has acquired a minority equity stake in Bit2Me, the leading Spanish-speaking digital asset platform. As part of the investment, Tether is also leading a €30 million funding round, set to close in the coming weeks. The funding will support Bit2Me’s expansion across the European Union and strengthen its operations in Latin America, particularly Argentina.

This investment follows Bit2Me’s recent 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). The MiCA license enables Bit2Me to legally operate across all 27 EU member states.

“Bit2Me has consistently demonstrated its commitment to building compliant, secure, and intuitive infrastructure for the digital asset ecosystem,” said Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether. “Their focus on education, transparency, and user empowerment aligns closely with Tether’s mission to enable an open financial system. We’re proud to support Bit2Me as they help shape the future of regulated crypto services in Europe and beyond.”

Founded in 2014, Bit2Me has over 1.2 million users and more than 7,000 companies, with a transaction volume exceeding €3 billion to date in 2025. 

“Welcoming a global leader like Tether into our shareholding structure is a transformational moment for Bit2Me,” said Andrei Manuel, Co-founder and COO of Bit2Me. “With their backing, we aim to accelerate our leadership in Europe and Latin America, markets that are just beginning to unlock the power of decentralized finance.”

“Our strong growth and trusted reputation are the result of more than a decade of commitment to transparency, regulation, and customer-centric innovation,” added Pablo Casadío, Co-founder and CFO of Bit2Me. “With Tether’s support, we’re now positioned to scale even faster — across products, users, and geographies.”
