Thank you @transisto for sharing this info with us.
I didn't know that Poloniex stopped STEEM withdrawals because I don't like using Poloniex since their service quality went down several times in 2017, that's why I was using Bittrex or the better exchange Binance.
But, I think Circle team will enhance Poloniex support service and bring it back to the normal mode but as you mentioned with real and serious Identity verification only.
That's why I guess Poloniex traders number will be lower than before.
And the best thing is STEEM started to go more popular in many new Exchanges like Upbit :)
Thank you again for your analytics about Steem and Poloniex info :)
I can't recommend binance. Regarding to my experience transfer to binance is absolutely unsafe.
