After the Bitcoin fever fell away in China, BTC-E has replaced BTCChina as the busiest trading exchange with a daily trading volume of nearly 100,000 BTC for the last couple of days.

As of now, the 24h volumes on the major exchanges are as follows:
90,926.90 BTC (BTC-E)
53,397.50 BTC (MtGox)
72,490.70 BTC (Bitstamp)
80,510.30 BTC (BTCChina)

Commodities alone, they do a combination of different cryptos, i.e BTC, LTC, NMC... There could be some other factors too.

ROFLMAO. Actually it is not the rise of the BTC-E. It is due to the decline of the other exchanges.

BTC China volume has declined by more than 50%, and Mt Gox has also declined considerably. BTC-E is having near-100% market share in the CIS nations (Russia, Ukraine, Belarus.etc) and the volumes haven't changed much. Also, I have heard that BTC-E is keen on expanding to China.

This shows that you did not watch what happened on BTC-E closely. Their daily volume was much less than what they are having now.

bitstamp is in slovenia so I'm sure they server eastern europe as well. btc-e seems to have found a great niche i.e. people trading litecoins when other exchanges have ignored them, even when (mtgox for example) promised to support them.

I'm personally hoping Kraken can seriously catch up soon and start offering margin trading. Where did you get this info and how far back are Kraken?

kraken are great, but the fact they are based in the united states is keeping a lot of people away from them.

I buy and sell bitcoins via bitcoin.de, but I used btc-e, too, because there I can change btc to fiat instantly and buy other cryptos reliable (not like cryptsy, which cannot handle the traffic).

BTC-E is great in terms of being a fully functional quick exchange that accepts a wide variety of payment sources and also has a real-time chat room which although trolly at times is fairly novel and interesting to watch from a speculative perspective. I know some people are worried that it is based in Russia but I think that it certainly the best option right now. The decline of Mt. Gox seemed inevitable their servers sucked and their costs of transferring money were expensive and their means of transferring funds were too few.

"trolly at times" - there's an understatement to top them all Smiley but it is fun to watch for 15 mins.

Gox is also declining because you just can't get cash out of there easily. Who's ever heard of an exchange that takes months to process outgoing wires. Rearrange the following: "foot shooting the in yourself "

I think btc-e is based in Bulgaria actually but same ball park.

The fairly low flat 0.2% transaction fee also helps.

Definitely. With Gox charging 0.6%, that's massive when coins are costing so much. Great point.

This may be a stupid question, but I'm kind of new. Why would people rather use BTC-e in some mystery part of Eastern Europe than Kraken in the US? I personally think BTC-e are great and actually use all available brokers, but I would have thought the influx of new people would have been attracted to Kraken by it's "shiny" interface and a perceived level of "trustworthiness". I have been wondering this for a while now.
