Bankinter, a domestic bank in Spain, announced an investment in the crypto exchange Bit2Me, participating in the project's €30 million (approximately $33 million) funding round as a minority shareholder. The funding round also included major investors such as Tether. Bit2Me stated that the injection of bank capital will significantly strengthen its capital reserves and provide a solid foundation for further expansion into European and Latin American markets. Notably, Bit2Me has completed registration under the EU MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) framework, which means it has become an important channel for traditional financial institutions to enter the crypto market through the B2B model. This move reflects European financial institutions' recognition of a compliant crypto ecosystem and a positive attitude towards expanding cross-border crypto businesses.
