Bit2Me is a centralized exchange offering secure and user-friendly solutions for managing digital assets, supported by customer service and financial education. Its native token, $B2M, powers the platform, providing benefits like discounts, early access, and governance participation. Bit2Me is developing a governance page to enhance community involvement and transition toward a DAO. In June 2023, Bit2Me raised €14 million in a funding round led by Investcorp, with support from Telefónica Ventures and others. The $B2M token supply, initially 5 billion, has been reduced to 4.95 billion through a token burn, reflecting its evolving utility.
