Bit2me to absorb 2gether customers

Bit2me, a Spanish cryptocurrency exchange, announced its intention to absorb customers whose accounts were blocked by 2gether, another Spanish cryptocurrency exchange, last week. The company unveiled a plan that would allow customers to move their funds and accounts to their platform to continue trading.

According to information explained in a blog post, Bit2me would refund the € 20 ($ 20.00) fee that 2gether told users they had to pay to continue using the platform. The purpose would be to keep these users in the crypto environment. Leif Ferreira, co-founder and CEO of Bit2me, stated:

Education, knowledge and innovation are the key to bringing this sector to the whole of society. At Bit2Me, we are committed to what we believe. For us, the world of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology is and will be the key to our present and future. For that reason, we want to be next to 2gether users who want to continue to be connected to the crypto ecosystem.

2gether Ves

2gether informed its customers about the problems they had faced earlier this month when the stock exchange blocked access to customers and deleted its presence from social media, affecting 100,000 customers. The company informed its customers that, as a result of the recent market downturn, it would not be able to continue to support free accounts.

Also at the time, the company charged a one-time fee of € 20 for users to continue using platform services. However, customers whose account funds were below this number would be wound up. While 2gether reported being affected by the market situation, however, Bit2me has continued to operate normally, even expanding its business to Latam.

Bit2me announced the establishment of a new office in Brazil in May, to tackle the market with more than 20 million customers holding crypto in the country, with compliance and security as a goal. Similarly, the company was the first to receive authorization from the Central Bank of Spain to operate as a regulated provider of virtual asset services (VASP), in February.
