Bit2Me Launches Bit2Shield Unit to Handle Crypto Investigations and Seizures"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Spain\u2019s largest cryptocurrency exchange, Bit2Me, has launched a specialized division called Bit2Shield to help law enforcement agencies, courts, and financial institutions manage cryptocurrency involved in criminal investigations.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new unit focuses on the complete lifecycle of seized digital assets, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Crypto tracing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wallet analysis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Asset seizure support<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Secure custody<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Forensic reporting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cryptocurrency liquidation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bit2Shield has been established as <strong>CryptoShield S.L.<\/strong> and will provide forensic and operational services from the moment digital assets are identified during an investigation until they are sold following official authorization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will Support Crypto Investigations From Discovery to Sale<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cryptocurrency investigations often require specialized technical expertise because digital assets move through blockchain networks rather than traditional banking systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bit2Shield will assist authorities by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Extracting information from cryptocurrency wallets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Identifying digital assets connected to investigations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Preparing forensic evidence reports<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Supporting searches and seizure operations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Training law enforcement officials, judges, and financial institutions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company aims to provide a complete infrastructure for handling cryptocurrency recovered during investigations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bit2Me Previously Processed Seized Crypto for Authorities<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The launch of Bit2Shield formalizes services that Bit2Me had already been providing to government organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During 2025, Bit2Me processed approximately <strong>\u20ac1.5 million worth of seized cryptocurrency<\/strong> for organizations including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Interpol<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Europol<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spanish police authorities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company used blockchain analytics tools, including Chainalysis, to help trace digital assets before converting recovered cryptocurrency into euros for government authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Secure Storage Through Multisignature Cold Wallets<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After cryptocurrency is seized, one of the biggest challenges for authorities is secure storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bit2Shield plans to store seized digital assets using:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cold wallet infrastructure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Multisignature security systems<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Controlled custody procedures<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This approach reduces the risk of unauthorized access while assets remain under government control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cryptocurrency will remain stored until courts or authorized agencies decide how the assets should be handled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crypto Sales Will Be Managed Through MiCA-Authorized Infrastructure<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When authorities order the liquidation of seized cryptocurrency, Bit2Shield will coordinate the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the actual conversion from crypto to euros will be handled by <strong>Bitcoinforme S.L.<\/strong>, a Bit2Me-related entity authorized under the European Union\u2019s <strong>Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA)<\/strong> framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The converted funds will then be transferred to official government bank accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This separation allows Bit2Shield to focus on investigation and forensic services while regulated crypto conversion activities remain under a licensed provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bit2Shield Will Operate Outside MiCA Crypto Service Rules<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bit2Me stated that Bit2Shield itself is not considered a crypto-asset service provider under MiCA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reason is that its main activities focus on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Digital forensics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Investigations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Training<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Operational support<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Services involving regulated crypto exchange or fiat conversion remain under Bit2Me\u2019s authorized MiCA entities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This distinction comes as European regulators continue increasing oversight of crypto businesses following the introduction of MiCA regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Growing Demand for Crypto Seizure Infrastructure<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The launch of Bit2Shield reflects a broader trend: law enforcement agencies worldwide are increasingly requiring specialized crypto custody solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike traditional assets, seized cryptocurrencies require:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Blockchain transaction analysis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Private key management<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wallet security<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Digital evidence preservation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Authorities cannot simply store cryptocurrency in traditional financial accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similar approaches are emerging globally as governments develop systems for handling confiscated digital assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spain Faces Growing Crypto Investigation Challenges<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spanish authorities have already handled cryptocurrency seizures connected to criminal investigations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In one recent case, police seized approximately <strong>\u20ac400,000 worth of cryptocurrency<\/strong> stored in two cold wallets during an investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The wallets were reportedly hidden inside a wall-mounted thermometer during a piracy-related investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Such cases demonstrate the increasing need for specialized teams capable of securely handling blockchain-based assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bit2Shield Will Be Led by Former Spanish Civil Guard Officer<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bit2Shield\u2019s investigative operations will be led by <strong>Adri\u00e1n Maro\u00f1o<\/strong>, a former member of Spain\u2019s Civil Guard Central Operational Unit (UCO).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His experience in law enforcement investigations will support the company\u2019s work with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Courts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Police agencies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Financial institutions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The leadership structure highlights Bit2Shield\u2019s focus on combining blockchain expertise with traditional investigative methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bit2Me Expands Beyond Cryptocurrency Trading<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The creation of Bit2Shield follows Bit2Me\u2019s broader expansion into institutional crypto infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company has increasingly worked with traditional financial organizations, including partnerships involving:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Crypto custody<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trading infrastructure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Market access<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Institutional blockchain services<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bit2Me has also attracted investment from major companies, including Tether, which acquired a minority stake in the exchange as part of its European and Latin American expansion strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bit2Me\u2019s launch of Bit2Shield represents a significant step toward professionalizing cryptocurrency investigations and asset management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As governments and financial institutions encounter more blockchain-related cases, specialized services for tracing, securing, and liquidating digital assets are becoming increasingly important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By combining forensic analysis, secure custody, and regulated crypto conversion services, Bit2Shield aims to become a bridge between law enforcement agencies and the growing digital asset economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
