Fourteen of the 20 most heavily traded stocks each day are American and the remaining 6 are European.
Google, the world's busiest stock, has four times the value of shares changing hands of Asia's most traded, Japan's Mizuho and five times the value of Germany's most popular, Allianz.
Three of last year's Top 20 are no longer on the list: Yahoo, Qualcomm and HSBC.
