Yes, it was the first to list us. And they had volume when they still mattered.

But what is more likely to have happened: when they reactivated the STEEM node, they had also switched to compulsory KYC. Those with little who preferred Bittrex [then still without KYC], and later Binance [still now without KYC], may have decided to take it on the chin as they already previously may have written it off. Enforcing KYC on an exchange results in users shifting to other exchanges.
Blocktrades also happened before they reactivated STEEM node.

Many don't use Korean exchanges due to the KYC as well.

Yep, that is a good point. It would have been around that time that the wallet reopened I think.
