Letter from Zonda CEO
November 8, 2021 is one of the most important days for us as a company ever since BitBay started its operations 8 years ago.
Dear Investors,
November 8, 2021 is one of the most important days for us as a company ever since BitBay started its operations 8 years ago. Now, as one of the most popular cryptocurrency exchanges in Europe, we have nothing but good news for our million plus current users, as well as for a much larger group of future investors.
Today, you can see our new name, logo and new homepage on the domain zondaglobal.com.
This is just the beginning. With our new name, new management board and new vision, we are ready to meet the challenges of the era in which cryptocurrencies may become one of the world’s most important financial instruments. The winds of change, which carry with them the need for a shift in the financial system and our readiness for the future, are calling for a responsible, proactive approach from key players like Zonda.
We accept this challenge. In doing so, we will follow a set of core principles: looking after investors to foster trust, ensure product simplicity, and boost customer education.
Regulations first
In our first year, we started with a group of 3,000 users primarily investing in Bitcoin. As more opportunities in the cryptocurrency world became available and horizons expanded, BitBay accompanied its investors on this journey, observing their changing financial habits and continuously adapting to their needs. We now have over a million investors who put their trust in us – and that is something we want to deliver on.
Compliance with laws and regulations in every aspect of our business will continue to be a priority for us. As BitBay, we obtained a license from the Estonian Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) and were the first cryptocurrency exchange to pass a strict financial audit, therefore, becoming a fully supervised entity that meets all regulatory requirements in Estonia.
Simple and always competent
Cryptocurrencies’ popularity and universality attract increasing interest, but the tools that enable access to the crypto world tend to be difficult to understand. This needs to be changed. Our goal at Zonda is to make cryptocurrency trading simpler and more accessible. We are developing intuitive tools and educational programs so that no one is excluded from participating in the future of finance. Our new trading platform and mobile application, planned for launch in Q2/Q3 2022, are being designed to make the process of entering and participating in cryptocurrency trading as simple and safe as possible.
Together towards the future
Since October 2019, I have supervised the processes ensuring security and transparency in company operations as BitBay’s Chief Legal Officer. From today, I will continue to manage these processes as CEO of Zonda. I will use my 20 years of experience in the legal field as well as my extensive managerial experience to continue creating a simpler, safer environment for our customers who want to keep up to date with modern finance.
We are aware that we are undertaking some very ambitious tasks. But it cannot be otherwise, given the fascinating, rapidly changing and future-ready market in which Zonda operates. Thank you for accompanying us on this extraordinary journey to the future of finance.
Zonda CEO
