About Bit2Me
Bit2Me is a consumer crypto-asset exchange operated by Bitcoinforme S.L., a Spanish fintech company. The platform offers buying, selling and exchanging of crypto-assets, custody and a wallet, a transfer feature (Bit2Me Pay) and a payment card, with EUR/SEPA support for European users. Bit2Me states it has been operational since 2014 and lists more than 400 cryptocurrencies on its site (409 shown at the time of scraping). According to research sources, the company is headquartered in Elche (Alicante), Spain. Sources: bit2me.com, Bit2Me About
On the licensing question, the contracting legal entity is Bitcoinforme S.L., and the relevant national regulator is Spain's Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV). Bit2Me states it is the first Spanish fintech to obtain a MiCA licence. Under the EU Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation, its authorisation as a crypto-asset service provider (CASP) covers the following ESMA-defined services: custody and administration of crypto-assets, exchange of crypto-assets for funds, exchange of crypto-assets for other crypto-assets, execution of orders, placing of crypto-assets, reception and transmission of orders, and transfer services for crypto-assets on behalf of clients.

The MiCA CASP authorisation governs the crypto-asset services listed above. It does not, on its own, make Bit2Me a bank or a securities firm, and it does not cover products that fall outside the CASP scope. Yield-style features such as Bit2Me Earn and any staking or savings products are not part of the ESMA CASP services list and should be assessed on their own terms. Research sources note that Bit2Me was registered with the Bank of Spain's crypto-asset custody registry in February 2022, which is a custody registry rather than a banking licence, so Bit2Me is not a bank.

Which crypto services is Bit2Me authorised to offer in the EU?
Under its MiCA authorisation issued by Spain, Bit2Me (Bitcoinforme S.L.) is approved to provide the following services to EEA residents. Each service is defined in Article 3(1)(16) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114.
-
Providing custody and administration of crypto-assets on behalf of clients
The exchange holds your crypto in its own wallets. Authorisation here means MiCA's segregation and insurance rules apply: client crypto-assets must be ring-fenced from the exchange's own funds.
-
Exchange of crypto-assets for funds
The exchange offers crypto-to-fiat (e.g. BTC to EUR) and fiat-to-crypto conversion. Authorisation here implies MiCA's pricing transparency requirements.
-
Exchange of crypto-assets for other crypto-assets
The exchange offers crypto-to-crypto trading (e.g. BTC to ETH). Required for most spot trading pairs not denominated in fiat.
-
Execution of orders for crypto-assets on behalf of clients
The exchange can place orders for you on third-party venues (smart-routing). Less common in retail crypto; relevant for brokerage-style services.
-
Placing of crypto-assets
The exchange can underwrite or distribute new crypto-asset issuances. Relevant for primary offerings and structured token launches.
-
Reception and transmission of orders for crypto-assets on behalf of clients
The exchange can receive your order and pass it to another venue for execution. Brokerage-pattern service, often paired with order execution.
-
Providing transfer services for crypto-assets on behalf of clients
The exchange can move crypto between addresses on your behalf, including off-platform withdrawals. The Travel Rule applies to these transfers.
Which services is Bit2Me not authorised to offer?
Bit2Me's MiCA licence does not cover: Trading platform, Advice, Portfolio mgmt. These services may still be offered by other authorised providers, or by Bit2Me under a different regulatory framework (for example, derivatives may fall under MiFID II rather than MiCA).

What does this mean for users of Bit2Me in the EU?
If you transact through Bit2Me's EEA-authorised entity (Bitcoinforme S.L.), the protections introduced by MiCA apply to your relationship from onwards. In practical terms this means: client crypto-assets are ring-fenced from the exchange's own funds (Article 70 MiCA), the authorised entity holds prudential capital, has formal complaint-handling procedures, and is subject to transparency obligations on fees and order execution. Source: Regulation (EU) 2023/1114.
One thing to verify yourself: the legal entity you contract with day-to-day must match the entity in the ESMA register. Some global exchanges operate multiple legal entities under one brand. Confirm in Bit2Me's terms of service that your contracting entity is Bitcoinforme S.L., not a non-EEA affiliate.
Which MiCA-authorised exchanges are alternatives to Bit2Me?
