The investment came after Bit2me received the Mica license.
With this support, the firm seeks to consolidate its leadership in markets that begin to use defi.
Tether, the USDT stablecoin issuer, acquired a minority participation in the Spanish Exchange of Bitcoin (BTC) Bit2me and leads a financing round with 30 million euros, whose closure is scheduled for the end of August or beginning of September 2025, with the aim of promoting the growth of the digital asset platform.
Capital injection will boost the Bit2me expansion throughout the European Union and will strengthen its operations in key Latin America marketswith special emphasis on Argentina, as reported by both companies.
Although Tether has faced questions about the transparency of its reserves, this investment reinforces its commitment to regulated markets such as Europe, where USDT has lost space, after not complying with the demands of the regulation for Stablecoins in the region.
This strategic movement comes just after Bit2me achieved a milestone by becoming the first Spanish -speaking exchange to obtain the cryptactive service provider (CASP) license of the National Securities Market Commission of Spain, under the new Mica European regulation, as reported cryptootics at the time.
This authorization le opened the doors to legally operate in the 27 countries Members of the European Union, and now, Tether’s investment provides the resources to carry out that expansion.

He added that the vision of Bitcoin’s Spanish exchange about education and transparency is aligned with Tether’s mission. “We are proud to support Bit2me while helping to shape the future of regulated cryptocurrencies,” he said.
Andrei Manuel, co -founder and director of Operations of Bit2ME, said they are going through a moment of transformation, while Pablo Casadío, CFO, added that ‘with this support they are positioned to climb even faster in products, users and geographies.
Bit2me investment is part of a global Tether strategy to consolidate its presence in key markets.
