Tether Invests €30M in Bit2Me to Expand in EU and LATAM
Tether invests in Bit2Me with a €30 million minority stake to accelerate its regulated crypto expansion in Europe and Latin America. Bit2Me is the first Spanish-language exchange approved under the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) Regulation, securing a Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) license across all 27 EU member states. Founded in 2014, Bit2Me serves over 1.2 million users and 7,000 companies, having processed more than €3 billion in transactions in 2025 alone. Tether invests in Bit2Me to support its EU rollout and strengthen operations in Argentina, capitalizing on high-growth digital finance markets. CEO Paolo Ardoino and co-founders Andrei Manuel and Pablo Casadío highlight the deal’s role in driving transparency, compliance and user empowerment. This move underlines Tether’s strategy in regulated crypto infrastructure and may boost market confidence in USDT.
Neutral
The investment by Tether in Bit2Me is unlikely to affect the price of USDT, as the token is designed to maintain a stable value. Short-term, the deal may boost confidence in Tether’s regulated expansion but will not change USDT’s peg. Long-term, strengthening regulated infrastructure and EU compliance could enhance USDT’s adoption and institutional standing, yet it will still trade at a stable price. Therefore, the news is neutral for USDT’s market price.
