This was shown in a recent report that analyzed the crypto exchanges, and the most popular ones were Coinbase, Poloniex, Bittrex, Binance, and Bitfinex. Among these only Bitfinex did not have a majority of U.S traders.
Coinbase consisted of almost 70% traders while Poloniex, Bittrex, Binance consisted of twenty-eight percent (28.6%), twenty-seven percent (27.6%) and twenty-four percent (24.2%) U.S based users respectively. Bitfinex consisted only ten percent (10%) of the U.S traders.
However, there was a huge question mark about the analysis as it had listed certain countries under the name of “Other.” These included China, Japan, Taiwan, Australia and Hong Kong which causes to question whether the report can be said to be complete.

In fact, they contributed fifty-six percent (56.1%) in Binance and fifty-seven percent (57.9%) in Bitfinex. They contributed around fifty-two percent (52%) in Bittrex, and forty-five percent (45%) and twenty-six percent (26%) in Poloniex and Coinbase respectively.
