- Tether secures minority stake in Spain-based crypto platform Bit2Me.
- A €30 million funding round, led by Tether, targets EU and Latin American growth.
- Bit2Me gains regulatory approval to operate across all 27 EU countries under MiCA.
Tether, the largest traded stablecoin in the global crypto market, USDT, has joined the European crypto arena in a major strategic investment.
It has acquired a minority equity stake in crypto platform Bit2Me, which has major regional leadership with its presence in Spain. Along with the acquisition of equity, Tether is leading a €30 million fundraising that should conclude in the weeks to follow.
Bit2Me has been around since 2014, and presently it has more than 1.2 million users as well as over 7,000 businesses. The overall number of transactions has already crossed the €3 billion barrier in 2025, showing an easy-growing trajectory.
It’s focused on Bit2Me’s expansion throughout Latin America and Europe. As the European Union beckons under the new crypto regulation framework, Latin America, with Argentina, becomes an emerging hotspot amid economic unpredictability and rising inflation. Tether’s endorsement brings Bit2Me further firepower to deepen its inroads in both markets.

Bit2Me Secures MiCA License in Spain
Bit2Me has not only attracted the stablecoin company’s attention due to its user base and performance but also for being the first Spanish-speaking exchange to achieve Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) status under the EU’s new Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA).
Spain’s Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV) granted this authorization, putting Bit2Me ahead of many regional competitors.
Bit2Me’s MiCA license allows it to operate legally across all 27 European Union member states. That regulatory position is an important advantage in an industry where regulation is rapidly evolving. For the stablecoin company, an investment in an entirely licensed platform is a secure entry into an industry with tough regulations.
Tether Backs Bit2Me to Expand Regulated Crypto Services
Andrei Manuel, Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer at Bit2Me, considers Tether’s move as transformative. The firm, with increased funds as well as institutional backing, wants to expand operations beyond borders, where decentralized finance remains new.
Bit2Me Co-founder, Chief Financial Officer Pablo Casadío credits the firm’s expansion with striving for long-term compliance, coupled with customer trust.
In Tether’s case, under the leadership of CEO Paolo Ardoino, the move is part of its larger strategy to make investments in compliant, education-centered platforms that support its mission of financial inclusivity.
In supporting Bit2Me, the company not only increases its presence but also bolsters regulated crypto services in its major global markets.
