With seemingly lighting reflex, CrytoCurrency Exchange BitTrex.com opens trading on STEEM https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-STEEM . Surprisingly the BitShares Exchange (http://bitshares.openledger.com) which shares the same Graphene code base as STEEM as well as many of the same developers, still does not offer deposit and withdraw functions for STEEM. BitTrex beating the BitShares\Steemit crew at offering their own coin speak volumes for the folks at BitTrex and paints a rather questionable image of Blocktrades - the team responsible for OpenLedgers OPEN assets integration, especially after the news of Blocktrades pre-emptive issuing OPEN.STEEM to themselves and selling the asset before it's even available to the open market.
BitTrex STEEM market has quickly taken on life and trade is active.
