Bittrex is based in and fully regulated by USA. So if you are an American it is the safest place to be. Bitfinex is rejecting US customers b/c they have had a longstanding problem with US banking regulations, as many non-US based exchanges do. Can't say as I blame them. BTCe was shutdown due to supposed $$ laundering of its founder and his connexion to Mt Gox. Now whether US should have any jurisdiction there is another discussion!
