Bit2Me Secures Bankinter Investment to Drive EU Crypto Expansion After €30 Million Round

New updates have been reported about Bit2Me.

Bit2Me has brought Bankinter into its shareholder base as part of a €30 million funding round, bolstering its capital structure and strategic positioning in European crypto infrastructure. The Spanish crypto-asset firm, already backed by Telefónica, Inveready, Investcorp, Tether, BBVA, Unicaja and Cecabank, will use the fresh backing from Bankinter to deepen technological collaboration with the bank and develop distributed ledger-based solutions for the financial sector. This move comes on the heels of Bit2Me obtaining a European regulatory license on July 29, which materially strengthens its ability to scale regulated crypto services across the EU and enhances its appeal as a compliant partner for traditional financial institutions. Management’s strategy centers on leveraging these regulatory credentials and banking partnerships to accelerate EU market entry, while simultaneously reinforcing operations in Argentina and other Latin American markets where Spanish-language capabilities are a competitive advantage.

The agreement with Bankinter is framed as a strategic alliance rather than a purely financial investment, with a clear focus on technology and knowledge-sharing to integrate crypto infrastructure into mainstream banking offerings. Bit2Me CFO Pablo Casadío emphasized that banks can use Bit2Me’s industry expertise to add secure, regulated crypto access for their clients, positioning the company as an enabler rather than a competitor to established institutions. For Bit2Me, this partnership validates its compliance and security-focused operating model, underpinned by multiple certifications (including ISO 27001, ISO 22301, ISO 37001, ISO 37301, UNE 19601 and CSA STAR Level 1). Coupled with its registration as a Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) with the CNMV, Bit2Me is signaling to regulators and counterparties that it aims to be a long-term, infrastructure-grade player in the European and Spanish-speaking crypto ecosystem, with an asset-light, partnership-driven expansion strategy designed to capture institutional and retail demand for regulated digital asset services.
