I think it'll climb up rapidly especially as bitcoin adoption grows in America. What I want to know is why are all the biggest exchanges Chinese?


There are lots of miners there. Also those exchanges are zero fee so they'll attract traders from all around the world. Hopefully they'll eventually become an irrelevance because none of them are to be trusted.

They're all zero fees?  Shocked How do they make money?

Maybe they're all ponzi schemes?  Grin They might make money from adverts like faucets do. They'll surely get a lot of hits.

I think some charge a withdrawal fee. I'll guess that much of their money is made taking fresh CNY for coins that have never and will never actually exist.

maybe there are more Bots that trade BTC and this is the reason for the high volume.

Coinbase is the biggest western exchange after asia (no. 10) .

How long will it take for Coinbase to reach the top 5? What do you think?

@bitgeek:

you cant compare coinbase with mtgox. nothing is a 100% safe but coinbase has a very professonial team and because of that more than $120 millions in funding.
mtgox was ran by a criminal lunatic with no clue.

Good for them. I just hope they won't turn into another Gox. BTC needs a stable well managed exchanges, that won't report a hack and disappear after a year or 2.
