Ventus Energy is history. The BaFin order of 5 May 2026, which required the platform to immediately cease and wind down the deposit business it had been operating without authorisation, has set off a chain reaction.<\/p>\n

As a result, on 11 June 2026 Ventus Energy announced that normal operations had ceased and that an orderly wind-down had been initiated<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

A question that I have been asked fairly often since then: Which other P2P platforms might now be affected as well?<\/p>\n

To answer this, I first took a close look at the precise allegations against Ventus Energy and then analysed the contractual structures and user agreements of various platforms.<\/p>\n

This article is an attempt to answer how investors can try to assess the \u201cBaFin risk\u201d themselves, and how I read the situation at Bondora, Monefit SmartSaver, PeerBerry, Income Marketplace, Devon, Asterra Estate and Triple Dragon.<\/p>\n

Important Note: This article is NOT a legal assessment. I am not a lawyer, and nothing herein constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. My main aim is to put the underlying allegations into context and make them understandable, so that investors can better assess the risks at other platforms. Errors in this assessment cannot be ruled out. No liability is accepted for the accuracy of the information that follows.<\/em><\/div><\/div>\n
