Bit2me, a Spanish cryptocurrency exchange, announced that the deal it aimed to complete with 2gether, another Spanish exchange, fell through due to internal discrepancies. The company hoped to absorb the customers of 2gether after it blocked operations, forcing users to pay €20 to keep using the platform after having declared it could no longer provide free services earlier this month.
In the blog post, Bit2me’s team explained that:
Bit2Me was determined to offer a solution so that 2gether users could continue trading their cryptocurrencies on Bit2Me. All this, from the good will and without any type of financial compensation between the parties.
About this, Bit2me stated:
Bit2Me’s objective with this agreement was to protect the crypto ecosystem in Spain in order to allow 2gether clients to continue buying and selling cryptocurrencies without selling their positions.
However, Bit2me has not given up, and it is presenting an offer for customers that will reimburse the €20 one-time payment if they transfer their funds voluntarily from 2gether to its platform. However, the value of the cryptocurrency transferred must be higher than €200 euros for this to apply.
At Asufin we are assessing the possibilities of filing a legal claim to inform affected consumers of the steps to follow in the face of this type of closure of ‘exchange’ platforms.
