Bit2Me crea una agencia especializada en incautación y custodia de criptoactivos

The financial institution Bit2Me has expanded its operations by establishing a specialized agency focused on seizure and custody of crypto-assets. This new company, named Bit2Shield, aims to assist both public agencies responsible for asset recovery and financial entities in investigating and managing digital assets. As a separate legal entity within the Bit2Me group, Bit2Shield does not require a MiCA license as it is not a cryptocurrency exchange.

The creation of this agency addresses the institutional need for experts within the on-chain ecosystem. Bit2Shield's capabilities include: operational support and seizures (B2G), providing on-site and remote technical assistance to public bodies during investigations and interventions, secure withdrawal of wallets, custody of seized cryptographic material, asset location and disposal, and issuance of digitally signed expert reports; comprehensive management of seized assets, providing custody in Bit2Me's hot wallets, handling and liquidation of assets; judicial scrutiny and forensic analysis; B2B solutions and consulting for specialized banking compliance in crypto-assets.

To lead this new venture, Bit2Me has hired Adrían Marojo, a former member of the Guardia Civil's Central Operational Unit, as Director of Investigation. His background in investigating organized crime and technological crimes brings operational experience in the field to the company.
