On Thursday, August 7, Tether <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/tether.io\/news\/tether-acquires-minority-stake-in-bit2me-and-leads-e30-million-funding-round\/\" target=\"_blank\">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 \u20ac30 million funding round in the firm. <\/p>\n<p>The investment comes after Bit2Me acquired Spain\u2019s Crypto-Asset Service Provider license. This enables the exchange to comply with the European Union\u2019s MiCA regulation, giving it authorization to operate in all 27 EU member states.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cBit2Me has consistently demonstrated its commitment to building compliant, secure, and intuitive infrastructure for the digital asset ecosystem,\u201d said Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>Bit2Me co-founder and COO Andrei Manuel explained that the funds raised will be used to expand the company\u2019s presence in the EU and Latin America. In particular, the focus will be on Argentina, which has long been struggling with macroeconomic instability.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cWith 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,\u201d Andrei Manuel, Bit2me. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tether threatened by EU, U.S. regulations<\/h2>\n<p>This investment comes despite Tether\u2019s 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, effectively blocking it from the EU market.<\/p>\n<p>Tether may soon face similar challenges 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>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tether acquired a minority stake in Bit2Me to expand its presence in Latin America and the EU Summary Tether led a \u20ac30 million funding round in Bit2Me Bit2Me recently secured&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1839,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7106","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cryptocurrency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7106","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7106"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7106\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7107,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7106\/revisions\/7107"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1839"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7106"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7106"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7106"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
