On May 18, 2026, Estonia's Money Laundering Data Bureau (Rahapesu Andmebüroo) partially suspended the operating licence of BB Trade Estonia OÜ, which operates under the Zondacrypto brand. The Money Laundering Data Bureau issued a decision prohibiting BB Trade Estonia OÜ from accepting additional funds—including fiat currency and cryptocurrency—from existing clients and from establishing client relationships with new clients. The partial suspension applies to operating licence number FVT000209. The suspension does not prevent the company from returning or paying out funds to existing clients. In the same decision, the Money Laundering Data Bureau ordered BB Trade Estonia OÜ to bring its operations into compliance with the conditions attached to its operating licence. The company has 30 days to achieve compliance. If BB Trade Estonia OÜ fails to comply within this period, the Money Laundering Data Bureau is required by law to revoke the operating licence entirely. The Money Laundering Data Bureau issued the order under Section 75(1)(4) of the Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing Prevention Act and Section 43 of the General Part of the Economic Activities Code. The decision was made to address anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing concerns. Clients of BB Trade Estonia OÜ who are unable to recover their funds may contact the police in their country of residence for assistance.
