Spanish banking giant Unicaja has announced a significant investment in the crypto exchange Bit2Me.&nbsp;

The Spanish banking giant has made a significant move into the cryptocurrency sector by investing in the popular crypto exchange Bit2Me. The investment, made through Unicaja’s venture capital arm, marks a notable step for one of Spain’s top five banks into the digital asset space. 
It became the first crypto exchange to secure registration from a Spanish company serving over 1 million customers.&nbsp; 
While the exact terms of the deal have not been disclosed, it’s known that they will acquire more than 5% ownership in the exchange and gain a seat on its board of directors. 
The two companies have also signed a commercial cooperation agreement, indicating a broader partnership beyond the initial investment.&nbsp; 
The CEO Isidro Rubiales highlighted the strategic importance of this move, stating that it will help the bank “anticipate the future and incorporate solutions that enhance our services and facilitate our adaptation to the changes demanded by customers.” 
Through this partnership, the giant bank aims to explore three key areas: new opportunities created by the EU’s MiCA regulations, asset tokenization under the DLT Pilot Regime and broader blockchain applications, and preparation for the potential introduction of a digital euro.&nbsp; 
Meanwhile, Bit2Me plans to offer Unicaja’s banking services to its customer base, potentially creating a bridge between traditional finance and the crypto sector. 
<h3 id="span-style-font-weight-400-regulatory-developments-in-spain-span">Regulatory Developments In Spain</h3> 
While the recent partnership represents a step forward for crypto adoption, recent events highlight the ongoing regulatory challenges in Spain’s digital landscape. Spain’s High Court has ordered a temporary suspension of Telegram services in the country.&nbsp; 
This decision came after media companies complained about unauthorized uploading of copyrighted content on the platform. 
In another development, the Spanish Agency for Data Protection (AEPD) has suspended Worldcoin’s operations in Spain.&nbsp; 
Tools for Humanity Corporation, which manages Worldcoin, has voluntarily agreed to stop collecting and processing personal data until the end of 2024. This pause is due to ongoing investigations into the company’s data handling practices.
