600K coins  x    $60    x 0.5 %  = $180,000  today, just in dollar denominated trade.

…… I say good luck to them

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.
Advertised sites are not endorsed by the Bitcoin Forum. They may be unsafe, untrustworthy, or illegal in your jurisdiction.

this month over 2.5M btc  x 0.6 %  =15,000 btc...   the value depends if and when they sell...

x2 - they take commission twice on a trade - one from the buyer, another from the seller?

In one of the Reddit posts it said that they had 12 core employees, plus 22 support staff to approve accounts, almost all of whom had been taken on in the last month.

Nice business model !

Does anyone know how many daily users they actually have?
I'm wondering how much of this money is just money moving back and forth.

It would make sense. They could then make a profit on their profit.

It makes sense that if they are accruing massive deposits in Bitcoins they would sell them back into the market to hedge their risk and fund the business.  But unless they are very stupid indeed they will  not want to risk their reputation.

I'll let you decide on that one, you just have to look over their previous decisions.
