More than 100 new stocks and ETFs have arrived at Bit2Me Invest, and you can invest in all of them without leaving the Bit2Me app. If you want to start investing but the stock market sounds like jargon and charts for experts, this article is for you. We explain what Invest is, which new listings arrive this month, and how to get started step by step. If you already know ETFs, you can go straight to this month's new listings, summarised in a table.
Bit2Me Invest is Bit2Me's space for investing in stocks and ETFs, and also in investment funds. It sits inside the same app where you already hold your cryptocurrencies, so you don't need to download anything or open another account. Among the new listings are an iShares ETF that brings together chip makers from around the world, and the Iberia group and Shell, two names you already know from everyday life.
Before investing in stocks and ETFs, keep one idea clear: an investment in the stock market is not a deposit. Its value can go up or down, and past results do not guarantee future results. Each listing is explained without jargon, and key concepts link to Academy for more detail.
What is Bit2Me Invest?
Buying a share means owning a small part of a company. In Bit2Me Invest that part is yours, with real ownership of your assets, without CFDs or derivatives. To understand the difference, Shares vs CFDs: why they are not the same in Spain (in Spanish) explains it in detail.
Bit2Me Invest operates under MiFID II regulation, the European framework for investor protection. It also has cover from the Investment Guarantee Fund (FOGAIN) of up to €100,000, the fund that protects investors if an entity cannot return their money.
«Crypto-asset investment is not fully regulated and may not be suitable for retail investors due to its high volatility. There is a risk of losing the entire amount invested. It is important to read and understand the risks of this investment, which are explained in detail at: https://up.bit2me.com/legalbit2me»

What is an ETF and why does it matter?
An ETF is a fund that trades on the stock exchange like a share, but groups many companies into a single investment. It is a simple way to diversify without picking stock by stock, and How an ETF works inside (in Spanish) explains how it is built. Even so, its price can also go up or down.
The AI chips, in a single investment
If you follow artificial intelligence, you know chips are a key piece of its development. An iShares ETF arrives that brings together semiconductor makers from around the world (SEMIA). Semiconductors are the chips that process information in almost any electronic device. If you want to see how ETFs are grouped by sector, read Sector and thematic ETFs (in Spanish).
A uranium and nuclear energy ETF (NUCG) is also added, a sector linked to the energy demand of data centres. It is a different exposure from chips, because it focuses on the energy those same data centres consume.
The Iberia group and Shell
IAG is the group behind Iberia, Vueling and British Airways. Shell is one of Europe's major energy companies. Names you have known all your life, and now you can invest in them from your app, just like any other stock in the catalogue. A share represents a part of the capital of a listed company, and How to buy shares step by step in Spain (in Spanish) summarises how it is bought.
New listings at a glance
The table shows some of the best-known new listings, with their type and sector. All of them are searched in the Invest section of the app, by name, just like the rest of the catalogue.
How to start investing in stocks and ETFs?
There are four steps, all completed from the Bit2Me app, without downloading anything new. Follow the order of the list: first you sign the documentation, then you add funds, which lets you choose how much to invest in each asset.
- Go to the Invest section of the Bit2Me app.
- Sign the documentation with the management entity. It is a regulatory requirement and is only done once.
- Add funds by bank transfer. At this stage investments are funded by bank transfer, so you cannot yet use your Bit2Me balance directly.
- Search for the company or ETF by name and choose how much you want to invest.
Once you have signed the documentation, review the catalogue calmly. Compare names by sector and type of asset, and think about what part of your total portfolio you want to allocate to each one.
