Updated: Dec 29 2025- Declining Search Interest: Google Trends data shows that the search volume for the keyword 'crypto' has dropped to its lowest levels in the past 12 months, indicating a waning public interest in cryptocurrencies, which may lead to reduced retail participation and impact market liquidity.
- Disconnection Between Price and Attention: Despite Bitcoin experiencing strong rallies and deep pullbacks in 2025, remaining above historical cycle averages, public search interest has not significantly rebounded, reflecting weak market sentiment and disengagement from participants.
- Regional Interest Disparities: Countries like Nigeria, the Netherlands, Singapore, and parts of Southeast Asia show relatively strong interest in cryptocurrencies compared to major developed markets, suggesting a shift towards more utility-driven interest in certain regions.
- Recurrent Historical Patterns: Low search volumes often coincide with market consolidation phases and reduced retail participation, which, while not guaranteeing immediate upside, typically indicate a less emotional market with lower crash risks, potentially setting the stage for future price increases.
