Madrid, August 12, 2021 — Spanish platform Bit2Me, specialized in cryptocurrency solutions, has recently signed Raul Oliveira, former director of Kraken Europe, to join the company’s team of strategic advisors.
Oliveira has extensive experience in the cryptocurrency industry, having been an account manager at Kraken, one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges, founded in San Francisco and present in more than 140 markets. Oliveira was responsible for the Europe, Middle East and Africa areas for more than two years and was a key person in the company’s growth in these markets.
This is not the first time Oliveira has collaborated with Bit2Me, as he previously had the opportunity to do so alongside Leif Ferreira, Andrei Manuel and Pablo Casadio, founders and cornerstones of the company. From this experience, the new strategic advisor was able to learn about the company’s potential, “witnessing first-hand the growth that Bit2Me has had”, as well as admiring “not only the quality of the team and services but also the focus on the company’s mission and growth”. Moreover, Raul Oliveira, shares the company’s values, culture and vision and says he is excited to join Bit2Me, where he sees great potential, and states that he is “uniquely positioned to play a key role in the cryptocurrency industry.”
Oliveira has arrived at the Spanish exchange at a key moment for the company, which has just announced the launch of its own B2M token with which it intends to accelerate its international expansion. The company launched a private sale in which it raised an industry-record €2.5 million, a preliminary step to the public sale that will begin on September 6. Bit2Me’s current goal is to expand across Europe, and later to have a global reach, to position itself as the pioneering comprehensive crypto asset solution, covering everything from learning, dissemination, information, and latest news to crypto asset management and transaction.
