Summary

BB Trade Estonia OÜ was the Estonian-registered operating entity behind Zondacrypto (formerly Zonda/BitBay), once Poland's largest cryptocurrency exchange with over a million users. The company froze customer withdrawals in April 2026, had its Estonian operating license revoked, and was declared bankrupt by a Tallinn court on August 27, 2026, with liabilities reported to exceed €431 million against roughly €167,000 in assets. Independent on-chain forensics identified hundreds of transfers worth over $21 million routed to a single Kraken deposit address in the months before the collapse, and both the exchange's founder and its later public-facing CEO have gone missing or fled abroad amid a Polish criminal fraud investigation with multiple suspects detained.
