Bit2Me, the first cryptocurrency platform registered with the Bank of Spain, has been selected by Telefónica Innovación Digital to fully operate TU Wallet. Bit2Me will offer cryptocurrency trading on this platform, which was recently unveiled by the telecom company at its Telefónica Innovation Day event.
This new app, available today for Android and in the next weeks for iOS devices , allows users to manage a selection of the top cryptocurrencies by market volume. With a focus on simplicity and security—hallmarks of Bit2Me—TU Wallet provides an intuitive experience for Telefónica’s millions of customers in Spain, as well as for anyone with a Spanish mobile number, regardless of their operator.
In addition to managing crypto assets, TU Wallet features the Bit2Me Card, a virtual card in partnership with MasterCard, which enables users to make payments with cryptocurrencies at over 100 million physical or online merchants that accept MasterCard. This extends the everyday use of cryptocurrencies, bringing them closer to the daily lives of users.
According to Leif Ferreira, CEO and founder of Bit2Me, “We are committed to integrating cryptocurrencies into people’s daily lives. With the implementation of the Bit2Me API in TU Wallet for Telefónica Innovación Digital, we are taking another step forward in integrating crypto technology into everyday life. Thanks to our infrastructure and Bit2Me API, we ensure a secure and simple experience for all users who want to explore the world of crypto assets. This project marks a milestone in our mission to lead the adoption of cryptocurrencies, not only in Spain but globally.”
Andrei Manuel, COO and co-founder of Bit2Me, added, “With the integration we’ve developed for TU Wallet, we are not only facilitating access to cryptocurrencies for millions of users in Spain, but we are also pushing blockchain technology one step further in its mass adoption. This collaboration with Telefónica Innovación Digital allows users to explore new ways to manage and use their crypto assets in daily life, without technical complications, as they already do with the Bit2Me app. We are proud to offer an infrastructure that ensures security, scalability, and a seamless experience, bringing cryptocurrencies even closer to the future of digital finance.”
Advanced Technology with Bit2Me API
The launch of TU Wallet strengthens the confidence in Bit2Me’s technology for third-party companies and developers by offering its Bit2Me API. This tool enables the integration of cryptocurrency buying, selling, and custody functions directly into other platforms or applications, providing a robust infrastructure for operating with crypto assets.
As the underlying technology for parts of TU Wallet, Bit2Me API ensures the stability, scalability, and security needed for the app to manage cryptocurrency transactions efficiently and reliably.
Gabriel Ayala, Director of Banking Solutions at Bit2Me, said, “TU Wallet is a clear example of how our technology can drive the mass adoption of crypto assets in traditional sectors like telecommunications. The implementation of Bit2Me API in TU Wallet allows us to offer a robust and scalable infrastructure for managing crypto assets in real-time, guaranteeing both security and accessibility.”
