the year has been dominated by Donald Trump, whose presidency begins with a positive shift for the crypto industry, propelling Bitcoin to new records, nearing $110,000.
At Bit2Me, we’ve kept our finger on the pulse of the market, working to expand our platform internationally while strengthening our position as thought leaders in the crypto space through media presence.
Here’s a brief summary of everything we accomplished in January.
Bit2Me Chosen by Garanti BBVA Kripto as a Key Partner for Cryptocurrency Services in Turkey
Garanti BBVA Kripto, part of the BBVA Group, has selected Bit2Me as its partner for executing cryptocurrency buy and sell orders for its clients, marking a significant milestone in the adoption of digital assets.
According to Leif Ferreira, co-founder and CEO of Bit2Me: “2025 marks the beginning of banks offering cryptocurrency buying and selling services.”
Abel Peña, CSO of Bit2Me, highlighted the transformative role of traditional banking and its importance in normalizing Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in society.
This achievement is of vital importance, as Turkey is the world’s third-largest crypto market by adoption and one of the most dynamic. This partnership lays the groundwork for the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies, leveraging Bit2Me’s technological expertise.
The news gained significant media traction, appearing in Coindesk, BeInCrypto, Bolsamanía, Forbes, CincoDías, and many others.
First Property Sold with Bitcoin in Spain
In January, we also played a key role in the first-ever real estate transaction in Spain using Bitcoin, valued at €1.5 million.
The press release received excellent coverage in international media, explaining how the property sale was completed in collaboration with InmoCrypto and Complianzen.
For Bit2Me, “the partnership with InmoCrypto and Complianzen is a bold step toward creating the most prominent blockchain real estate sector in Europe.”
We also emphasized that “the Spanish real estate sector offers national and international investors an innovative, secure, and fully regulated way to buy and sell properties.”
Media Coverage of Market Trends and Trump’s Presidential Inauguration
On Monday, January 20, Donald Trump officially assumed the presidency of the United States. This event marked a radical shift in the crypto regulatory landscape in the U.S., causing major upheaval in the cryptocurrency market.
Within days, Bitcoin approached $110,000, and TRUMP, a memecoin, was launched, breaking all previous records.
