Shutdown

Announced wind-down after EU sanctions listing; marketplace closed 21 August 2026

According to press coverage, NoOnes began winding down on 17 August 2026 after the EU sanctions package adopted on 23 July 2026 listed its operating entity and partners withdrew services. The peer-to-peer market closed on 21 August, and users were told to withdraw all balances by 23 August through Bitcoin or USDT on Tron. The directory kycnot.me recorded withdrawal failures during the closure. No confirmation that all balances were returned was found.

Hack or exploit

Reported drain of about $8 million from platform wallets, acknowledged weeks later

An on-chain investigator reported that NoOnes hot wallets were drained of roughly $7.9 million across several networks in early January 2025 through hundreds of small outflows. According to a blockchain-analytics write-up, the platform initially described maintenance and its chief executive acknowledged a loss of about $8 million later that month, attributing it to an exploit of a bridge component, which was then disabled.
