Bit2Me is now officially the first Spanish-speaking fintech to be authorized by the CNMV to work as a Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) under the European MiCA regulation. This means that crypto services can now easily expand to all EU countries.
What Does MiCA Approval Mean for Bit2Me?
The Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) law gives the European Union a set of rules for how to handle digital assets; thus, Bit2Me can now legally offer services in all EU countries. “Being the first Spanish and Spanish-speaking fintech to obtain MiCA approval is a powerful endorsement of our commitment to transparency, security, and trust,” said Leif Ferreira, CEO and co-founder of Bit2Me.
Bit2Me will now appear in the official registries of both the CNMV and the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), joining a small group of regulated CASPs with the legal authority to serve users in multiple jurisdictions.
Why This Matters for Crypto Users Across Europe
MiCA aims to protect investor assets, limit market manipulation, and clearly define the roles and duties of crypto-asset service providers. This strengthens the EU’s position as an attractive environment for crypto investors and businesses.
With official approval now in place, Bit2Me can confidently expand its offerings into regulated euro accounts, crypto-to-fiat services, and token launches. “This isn’t just about compliance,” added João Augusto Teixeira, Chief Compliance Officer. “It’s about leading the market by example, building trust at scale.”
A Track Record of Firsts
This is not the first time Bit2Me has blazed a trail. Back in February 2022, it became the first Spanish company registered with the Bank of Spain as a provider of virtual currency exchange and custody services. That early registration highlighted the company’s long-standing dedication to regulatory integrity and anti-money laundering protocols.
This new chapter, as stated on the company’s official blog, allows Bit2Me to provide “more confidence, more services, and a Europe at your fingertips.”
What’s Next for Bit2Me and the MiCA Ecosystem?
Bit2Me is one of the first CASPs to be licensed under MiCA; it will soon be offering MiCA-compliant products throughout the EU, attracting more institutional partners who are looking for regulated infrastructure, and serving as a model for Spanish-speaking and worldwide fintechs that want to enter the crypto field. This milestone is expected to boost confidence in the broader European crypto ecosystem, which is steadily aligning under MiCA’s unified regulatory standards.
Final Thoughts
Bit2Me’s MiCA accreditation establishes a standard for operational clarity and institutional trust in an industry that is typically plagued by regulatory uncertainty. The action strengthens Spain’s growing role as an innovator in crypto compliance and shows that Bit2Me wants to be the go-to digital asset platform for Spanish speakers and others throughout the world.
