			BitBay was operated by BitBay Sp. z o. o. in Poland at launch.<ref name="ct"/> On 12 December 2014 the exchange announced a “2.0” platform version. Early coverage described fiat rails including Polish bank wires and postal deposits alongside crypto deposits after network confirmations.

			In November 2021 the exchange rebranded from BitBay to '''Zonda''', moving to a new domain and leadership under CEO Przemysław Kral.<ref name="zonda">[https://www.cryptoninjas.net/2021/11/08/european-based-crypto-exchange-bitbay-rebrands-as-zonda/ CryptoNinjas: BitBay rebrands as Zonda (8 Nov 2021)]</ref> On 22 May 2023 Zonda announced a further rename to '''zondacrypto''' / [[Zondacrypto]].<ref name="pr">[https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/introducing-zondacrypto-a-new-identity-for-a-global-exchange-301829983.html PR Newswire: Introducing zondacrypto (22 May 2023)]</ref>

			According to Estonian counsel reporting on the proceedings, '''BB Trade Estonia OÜ''' (registry code 14814864), which operated Zondacrypto, was declared bankrupt by Harju County Court on 27 August 2026 (civil matter No. 2-26-14436). Creditor claim deadlines and trustee contacts have been published by counsel; the Estonian e-Business Register records the company as in bankruptcy.<ref name="hedman"/> The Estonian Financial Intelligence Unit had revoked the company's virtual currency service provider licence on 29 June 2026 for failure to comply with a supervisory precept, prior to the bankruptcy declaration.<ref name="hedman"/>
