Tether, the issuer of the world’s leading stablecoin, has acquired a minority stake in Spanish crypto exchange Bit2Me, leading a $35 million funding round via its venture arm, Tether Ventures.
Bit2Me became the first Spanish-speaking fintech licensed by Spain’s CNMV under the EU’s MiCA framework, allowing it to operate across the European Union.
Tether’s investment aims to strengthen Bit2Me’s expansion into Latin America, with a focus on Argentina, where Bit2Me already holds a Virtual Asset Service Provider license.
Bit2Me is also backed by Telefónica and major Spanish financial institutions such as BBVA, Unicaja, and Cecabank.
Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino called the investment a step toward supporting regulated digital asset services globally.
Tether Ventures has previously invested in projects like Juventus FC, Adecoagro, Crystal Intelligence, and Rumble. While the exact size of Tether’s stake in Bit2Me remains undisclosed, the investment underlines Tether’s growing interest in regulated infrastructure across global markets.
