Bit2Me Leverages MiCA License to Tap into EU B2B Market

Bit2Me, Spain's largest cryptocurrency exchange, is expanding its services beyond retail trading to become a B2B infrastructure provider for banks, institutions, and government entities. The platform has been working with law enforcement agencies such as Interpol, Europol, and the Spanish national police, converting seized crypto assets into fiat currency using blockchain analytics tools from Chainalysis.

In 2025, Bit2Me has processed approximately 1.5 million euros ($1.76 million) in confiscated cryptocurrency on behalf of these agencies. This is part of a broader strategic shift for the company, which aims to diversify away from volatile retail trading fees and tap into new revenue streams.

The exchange now generates 27% of its total revenue from B2B services, with trading volume reaching 5.3 billion euros ($6.24 billion) this year - an eightfold increase from 2023 figures. Bit2Me supports over 300 digital assets and offers institutional-grade custody services backed by 150 million euros in insurance coverage from Lloyd's.

The company has invested heavily to secure its Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) license, becoming the first platform in Spain to receive a Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) authorization under the new European framework. This license allows Bit2Me to provide custody, exchange, and transfer services across the EU.

The partnership with Chainalysis is crucial to Bit2Me's ability to trace and liquidate seized assets, and has been instrumental in its law enforcement work. The company's pivot highlights a trend reshaping crypto infrastructure this year: the professionalization of exchange services beyond simple buy-and-sell functionality.
