BTC-e becomes world's second largest Bitcoin exchange by volume

[raspcoin]

If you was following the development at Bitcoin Charts, you know it was only a matter of time until BTC-e would become the world's second largest Bitcoin exchange by volume. That happened today. If no new alternative emerges, it will probably overtake BTC China this year.

It seems like people are willing to trade security for anonymity, or are the various altcoins the main attraction here? I use the site because of the combination of altcoins and volume.

BTC-e has now overtaken BTC China and has thus become the world's largest Bitcoin exchange. Congratulations, never predicted it would happen so soon! This is a great feat, even if it is only temporary.

Note: I consider the sum of all pairs available.

BTC-e has always had nice volume. They offer a wide selection of other coins as well. Great volume on LTC as well.

I've been using them for many months without issue, though as of late people are complaining about deposit delays.

I think banking delay are going to be a large problem of any growing exchange.

I think the alt coins are a big plus. That definitely lured me there but how exactly they provide anonymity?

[joesmoe2012]

I don't think they do provide anonymity...

Their MT4 access could also be cool...

Their currency exchange rate sucks though.... 1.26 USD/EUR right now.
