Bit2Me sets up specialized unit to help law enforcement track down crypto assets

Bit2Me, a cryptocurrency exchange based in Spain, has announced the creation of a specialized unit dedicated to supporting law enforcement authorities in their efforts to identify, recover, and process digital assets that have been seized during criminal investigations. This development represents a formalization of collaborative work the company has already been conducting with international law enforcement bodies.

The establishment of this dedicated unit builds upon existing relationships and operational experience gained through previous partnerships. During 2025 alone, the exchange processed approximately 1.5 million euros in cryptocurrency that had been confiscated by law enforcement agencies, demonstrating the scale and scope of such cooperation between crypto platforms and investigative authorities.

Among the organizations that have worked with Bit2Me on these matters are major international police organizations including Interpol and Europol, underscoring the multinational nature of cryptocurrency-related crime and the need for coordinated enforcement efforts. By formalizing these operations into a dedicated unit, Bit2Me is positioning itself as an institutional partner in the global effort to combat financial crimes involving digital assets.

The move reflects broader industry trends toward greater compliance and cooperation with law enforcement. As criminal actors increasingly use cryptocurrency for money laundering and other illicit purposes, exchanges that actively assist authorities in asset recovery and investigation have become critical intermediaries in the criminal justice process.
