<p>Tether is expanding its presence in Latin America and the European Union. On Thursday, August 7, Tether <a href="https://tether.io/news/tether-acquires-minority-stake-in-bit2me-and-leads-e30-million-funding-round/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">acquired</a> a minority stake in Bit2Me, one of the largest crypto platforms focused on Spanish speakers. As part of the deal, Tether is leading a €30 million funding round in the firm.</p>
<p>The investment comes after Bit2Me acquired Spain’s Crypto-Asset Service Provider license. This enables the exchange to comply with the European Union’s MiCA regulation, giving it authorization to operate in all 27 EU member states.</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
 <p>“Bit2Me has consistently demonstrated its commitment to building compliant, secure, and intuitive infrastructure for the digital asset ecosystem,” said Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether.</p>

<p>Bit2Me co-founder and COO Andrei Manuel explained that the funds raised will be used to expand the company’s presence in the EU and Latin America. In particular, the focus will be on Argentina, which has long been struggling with macroeconomic instability.</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
 <p>“With their backing, we aim to accelerate our leadership in Europe and Latin America, markets that are just beginning to unlock the power of decentralized finance,” Andrei Manuel, Bit2me.</p>

<p>This investment comes despite Tether’s ongoing regulatory issues in the European Union. Notably, MiCA regulations demand strict disclosures for stablecoin issuers. However, this was something Tether was unwilling to provide, <a href="https://crypto.news/tethers-market-cap-sheds-1-4b-as-mica-activates/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">effectively blocking</a> it from the EU market.</p>
<p>Tether may soon face <a href="https://crypto.news/tether-regulatory-challenge-stablecoin-bill-passes-2025/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">similar challenges</a> in the United States, which recently passed the GENIUS Act. The new law imposes strict transparency requirements for issuers, which may pose a problem for the traditionally secretive Tether.</p>
