My understanding, and this may be wrong since I don’t actually have Monero, is it’s not since US customers are subject to KYC. While the transaction on the blockchain would be obfuscated, the Exchange as the sender/receiver would still have the withdraw and deposit addresses since they were one of the parties of the transaction.
Further transactions after withdrawing would be difficult to discern, but an exchange could be used to track an approximation of how much Monero you own.
A cash based ATM purchase would be more difficult to track since no KYC is involved.
