Not sure if they're still around, but based on past experience, I'm pretty sure CampBX did the same thing, though they didn't advertise/brag about it.  Bitcoins stayed in the deposit address right up until they were traded, then they moved.

Bitfinex First Bitcoin Exchange to Offer On-Blockchain Transactions

Bitfinex has become the first bitcoin exchange to offer on-blockchain transactions.

Typically, exchanges work off-chain, meaning that user balances are settled within a central database. Bitfinex's bid for greater transparency will allow users to check their segregated bitcoin wallets on the blockchain.
