- Bit2Me concludes Phase 3 of its ICO, the last one, in just
38 seconds. In total, the company has raised €17.5 million in less
than three minutes through its B2M token, plus an additional €2.5
million from an earlier private sale.
- Starting next November 1, the
tokens will be available for purchase on Bit2Me's platform and

MADRID, Sept. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Bit2Me, the
Spanish company that offers technological financial services based
on cryptocurrencies, has closed the third phase of its ICO (Initial
Coin Offering) in just 38 seconds, raising a total of €17.5 million
in less than three minutes between the 3 public sale phases that
took place throughout September.
This is a historic milestone, as it is the first time a company
issues a utility token that allows customers, users, and the
community to have advantages in the company's services and
governance, as well as liquidity in the market at any time.
The first phase of the ICO closed in 59 seconds (€5 million),
the second in 47 seconds (€7.5 million), and the third and last in
38 seconds (€5 million). If we add to these figures the €2.5
million raised in the previous private sale that took place at the
beginning of last August, the result is that Bit2Me has reached a
total of €20 million, setting a historical precedent in the history
of the cryptocurrency industry in Spain and consolidating Bit2Me as one of the
leaders in the sector. This has been possible through the B2M
utility token, developed entirely by the Spanish platform.
"We have received great interest in buying B2M tokens in the
different phases of the ICO. But this journey has just begun; as of
November 1, our tokens will be
available for purchase, like any other cryptocurrency, on Bit2Me,
Bittrex, and increasingly on more platforms. The success of B2M
marks a before and after in the Spanish crypto ecosystem", explains
Abel Peña, Chief Revenue Officer at Bit2Me.
Those who have opted to acquire B2M tokens will enjoy different
benefits, such as discounts of up to 90% on fees, better conditions
in the various services associated with the platform, and, as
mentioned above, governance over the company in certain
aspects.
New Era for the Spanish Crypto Industry
This is the biggest ICO ever launched in Spain, in which the incorporation of top-tier
talent has been key to its success. That is the case of
Baldomero Falcones, formerly
worldwide chairman of Mastercard—between 2002 and 2006—and CEO of
FCC, who has been working now for some weeks as Senior Advisor for
Bit2Me. Another of the renowned additions to the team has been that
of Zeeshan Feroz, former CEO of
Coinbase in Europe and the UK, who
has accompanied the Spanish platform throughout the entire ICO
process. In addition, Rodolfo Carpintier, the entrepreneur and
father of the Internet in Spain,
is also working side by side with Leif
Ferreira, CEO and founder of the company.
Bit2Me has recently launched a new street advertising campaign
to celebrate the success of its ICO. The Spanish platform has
installed billboards in different neuralgic points of Madrid: Puerta del Sol, Gran Vía, Plaza de
España, Plaza de Colón, Paseo de Recoletos, Plaza de Castilla and
Cuatro Caminos. As icing on the
cake, Bit2Me has deployed a giant canvas in one of the best known
and busiest places in the Spanish capital, the Puerta del Sol, with
the following message: "Bitcoin: Welcome to the Independent
Republic of Your Money". This campaign is in addition to other
street advertising campaigns that the company has promoted to raise
awareness of Bitcoin technology in places such as Italy (Milan), Portugal (Lisbon) and Andorra.
