If Google search trends are anything to go by, crypto euphoria appears to be on the rise again, according to new industry research.
“Buy crypto” searches on Google surged to all-time highs in January, far exceeding the previous peak of early 2018, according to cryptocurrency analytics company The Tie.
The keyword received a perfect Google Trends score of 100, which indicates maximum relative interest.
A similar spike was also observed for Ethereum, which achieved a perfect score of 100 before falling back down to a still-strong 65.
Bitcoin (BTC) searches also spiked, but remain well below the 2017 bull market high.
The Tie also shared the following chart with Cointelegraph, which highlights a sharp rise in searches for “best crypto app” and “best crypto exchange.”
