The cryptocurrency market is on fire again, after spending several years locked in a cold and painful crypto winter<\/a>. Bears came out of hibernation and swatted down valuations, and with it, interest plummeted.<\/p>\n But with a new dawn here, search interest in the asset class is suddenly springing up once again according to Google Trends metrics.<\/p>\n Google Trends<\/a> provides a visual measurement of specific terms or queries over a specific time range. It allows data analysts, publishers, investors, and more to inform decision making based on how certain terms are trending.<\/p>\n Any upticks in measurements represent a growing interest in the term, due to a sudden abundance of search queries on the topic. An event, news, or otherwise typically triggers a trend to begin, prompting others to catch wind, become curious, and head to Google to learn more.<\/p>\n Related Reading | How Crypto Company IPOs Could Incite Retail Investor FOMO<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n In 2017, back when very few had ever heard of Bitcoin or crypto, the sudden wealth generated by the mysterious asset class piqued widespread retail curiosity. As valuations climbed, curiosity turned into full-blown FOMO<\/a>.<\/p>\n Coinciding with all of this, was a surge in Google searches for the term “crypto’ according to Google Trends<\/a>.

It is also the highest point in terms of search volume since the bubble burst in 2018.<\/p>\n In the comparison chart above, the total cryptocurrency market cap matches along well with the Google Trends chart. A large peak is visible upfront before the bubble burst.<\/p>\n Searches for the term were next to nonexistent prior to the bubble. They were also mostly abysmal following the bubble bursting, until now.<\/p>\n Related Reading | Chartered Market Technician Claims Crypto Poised For Strong Uptrend<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n But why the sudden change?
