Spanish bank Bankinter has acquired a stake in crypto exchage Bit2Me.

According to CoinDesk, Spanish bank Bankinter has acquired a minority stake in local cryptocurrency exchange Bit2Me, participating in the exchange's €30 million funding round completed in August 2025. This round also included stablecoin issuer Tether. Bankinter's move places it among Bit2Me's growing group of bank shareholders, as the exchange has previously received backing from major Spanish financial institutions such as BBVA, Unicaja, and Cecabank. Headquartered in Madrid, Bit2Me is one of the first companies to register under the EU's Crypto Asset Markets Regulation (MiCA), allowing it to operate throughout the EU.
