According to Reuters, the Polish parliament has passed a cryptocurrency regulation bill to implement the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), with Poland required to complete the implementation of related rules by July. The legislative backdrop is the alleged large-scale fraud involving the Polish cryptocurrency exchange Zondacrypto. Polish prosecutors have launched a multi-million dollar fraud investigation, with expected user losses exceeding 350 million zlotys (approximately 95.93 million USD), and thousands of users are currently unable to withdraw their funds.Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk previously stated that "Russian funds" and foreign political influence issues may be involved behind Zondacrypto. The exchange's founder Sylwester Suszek went missing in 2022, and the current head Przemyslaw Kral reportedly has gone to Israel. Polish President Karol Nawrocki had previously vetoed the related MiCA implementation bill twice, believing that the regulatory requirements were too burdensome and could lead to the loss of cryptocurrency businesses.

According to market news, the actual controller of the recently collapsed European cryptocurrency exchange Zondacrypto is reportedly hiding in Dubai, and the losses for the exchange's customers may exceed $100 million.Polish media Onet Wiadomości disclosed that the official representative of Zondacrypto is in Dubai with a man nicknamed "Maniek," who is the true controller of the cryptocurrency business, while CEO Przemysław Kral is merely a "front figure." Kral has been missing since the company was revealed to have reserves drop by over 99%, and he was previously thought to have fled to Israel but is now confirmed to be in the UAE. The exchange was formerly known as BitBay, founded in 2014, and was taken over by Kral in 2021 and renamed Zondacrypto, moving its operations to Estonia.Polish media reports that the exchange may be controlled by the Russian Tambov gang, with about 30,000 Poles potentially becoming victims, with preliminary estimates of losses at least 350 million zloty (approximately $97 million), and the actual amount may be higher. Additionally, founder Sylwester Suszek went missing in 2022, and it is claimed that a wallet key containing 4,500 bitcoins that he controlled was never handed over.

According to Cointelegraph, the Estonian Financial Supervisory Authority issued an investor warning to BB Trade Estonia OÜ, the operator of the cryptocurrency exchange Zondacrypto, for failing to provide the white paper for the "TeamPL" crypto token on its website, violating Article 9(1) of the EU MiCA framework, which requires that as long as the crypto asset is still held by the public, the white paper must be continuously available on the website.Earlier reports indicated that the Zondacrypto exchange was experiencing withdrawal issues, and Polish law enforcement has also launched an investigation into the exchange.

According to Bloomberg, Poland's largest digital asset trading platform Zondacrypto has stated that it is on the verge of bankruptcy after attracting approximately $100 million in deposits from Polish users and has stopped providing services for customer accounts.The Polish national prosecutor's office has launched an investigation into suspected fraud against it. The report notes that Zondacrypto is registered in Estonia, and its bankruptcy crisis is putting political pressure on Donald Trump's allies in the Polish presidential office.

According to Politico, Poland's major cryptocurrency exchange Zondacrypto is facing a serious fraud investigation. Its former CEO went missing in 2022, taking with him the private keys to a cold wallet containing 4,500 bitcoins (currently worth over $340 million). The current CEO has admitted to being unable to access the wallet and has recently been reported to have fled to Israel. Prosecutors estimate potential losses for customers to be around $97 million.On-chain data shows that the bitcoin balance in the platform's hot wallet has plummeted by 99.7% since mid-2024, with users generally reporting difficulties in withdrawing funds. Polish Prime Minister Tusk estimates that up to 30,000 users may be affected.Tusk publicly accused the platform of being funded by Russian-linked money, used to finance opposition lawmakers to obstruct Poland's cryptocurrency regulatory legislation. He bluntly stated that this is a "Polish version of a Ponzi scheme" and criticized the president for vetoing the localization of the EU MiCA framework twice, making Poland a "paradise for scammers."The platform's board stated that they failed to obtain "verifiable information" from the missing CEO and have collectively resigned. The founder has been missing since 2022, and the previously mentioned "suspect kidnapping allegations" case is still under investigation. This incident is expected to prompt Poland and the EU to strengthen regulatory scrutiny of cryptocurrency exchanges.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated that a cryptocurrency company linked to "Russian gangs and intelligence agencies" is funding political opponents and influencing domestic cryptocurrency regulatory legislation.During a parliamentary vote on Friday, Tusk pointed out that some Polish politicians obstructing cryptocurrency regulatory legislation are serving the interests of a company named Zondacrypto, which is accused of providing "financial support" to political figures and has ties to Russia. Tusk further claimed that the company sponsored the CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) event held in Poland last year, during which former U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem publicly supported President Karol Nawrocki's campaign. Tusk bluntly stated that the company's funding sources involve not only "money related to the Russian mafia (Bratva)" but may also be connected to Russian intelligence agencies.Meanwhile, President Nawrocki won the election in June last year, with support from former U.S. President Donald Trump. The president's office responded that it does not oppose cryptocurrency regulation itself but opposes the "flawed regulatory model" proposed by the government. This controversy arises amid the political tug-of-war in Poland over the cryptocurrency regulatory bill. The bill aims to align with the EU's MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation) framework, but the president previously vetoed the related bill and blocked parliament from overturning the veto in December, hindering the regulatory process.
