### W13 Commercial Intelligence (M&A, Investment & Product) Probable confirmed 2026-07-04

#### Commercial Intelligence (M&A, Investment & Product)

Bit2Me, a Madrid-based digital-asset platform, raised $30M in an August 2025 investment round led by Tether Ventures, with additional investors undisclosed, to accelerate EU expansion and Latin American consolidation. Bankinter acquired a stake in Bit2Me in January 2026 by joining its Tether-led round, positioning alongside BBVA, Unicaja and Cecabank as banking shareholders; the amount of Bankinter's investment was not publicly disclosed.

#### Outlook

The Bit2Me cap table — now including Bankinter alongside BBVA, Unicaja and Cecabank — is the clearest evidence this cycle of banks buying rather than building crypto-asset distribution capability, a pattern likely to continue as MiCA CASP licensing lowers the execution risk of such stakes.

#### Commercial Intelligence & Fintech

The same Spain BNPL growth data point (EUR 1.00 billion in 2023 to a projected EUR 8.12 billion by 2030) surfaces here as a market-intelligence figure rather than a discrete commercial event; no M&A, funding round, or product-launch event with a complete commercial-event shape was identified this cycle for Klarna, Aplazame, SeQura or Afterpay/Pagantis in the Spanish market. Confidence is Low, sourced to a single tier-4 vendor figure.

#### Outlook

This module is thinly evidenced this cycle beyond the aggregate growth figure; a discrete funding round, acquisition, or product launch among the named BNPL providers would be the next concrete commercial-intelligence data point to track for the Spanish market.
