@LakeBTC exceeds @bitfinex in all currencies traded

@KittyBitcoin paws at this week’s bitcoin exchange percentage marketshare “wool ball”. We look at $XBTCNY, $XBTUSD, $XBTEUR & $XBTGBP. Estimated read less than 5 minutes. Who did what – and how did it unravel?

Vagarious sideways movement continued until Thursday when the price fell off sharply to $383. Friday the price tumbled sharply again to a low of $369.03. Largely sideways movement has been the norm since.

As expected @huobicom and @okCoinBTC garner the lion’s share of world marketshare again this week with Huobi still leading the pack:

There are however some surprises this week. @LakeBTC exceeds @bitfinex in all currencies traded worldwide, basically swapping positions from last week. @gatecoin surprisingly has also moved up on the weekly chart apparently at the expense of @btcecom who dropped off the chart. Gatecoin has jumped the usually weightier trading @bitx2014 – albeit on lower overall weekly volumes than the previous week. @bitstamp and @coinbase settled to the bottom of the chart:

$XBTCNY Weekly

No changes in $XBTCNY week to week in terms of overall position:

$XBTUSD Weekly Marketshare

$XBTEUR Weekly

This marketplace sees the rise of @gatecoin who significantly takes number two position. @krakenfx has absolutely dominated this market for many months often garnering more than 50% marketshare in a MONTH. For @gatecoin to grab number two position with over 27% marketshare of all $XBTEUR traded in this weekly chart is nothing less than astounding – given the previous market dynamics in this pair. @coinbase continues to make inroads while cex.io nails down last place on the weekly chart.

$XBTGBP Weekly

This is our first look at bitcoin traded in Great Britain Pounds. @bitx2014 has over 80% of marketshare. Surprisingly localbitcoins – typically the high ball price – trades 11% of all $XBTGBP traded. Coinfloor, Coinbase and Kraken complete the picture.
