Google search volume for ‘Crypto’ hovers slightly above 1-year low
Global Google search volume for the term “crypto” is hovering above a 1-year low and reached a 1-year low in the United States as 2025 ends, indicating weak crypto investor sentiment.
Google search volume ranges from 0-100, with 100 indicating the highest search volume. Global search volume for “crypto” hit 26 on Monday, just two points above a 1-year low of 24.
Global search volumes fell amid the crypto market crash in April due to US President Donald Trump's tariff policy. US Google search volumes for “crypto” followed a similar pattern, falling to a 1-year low of 26 on Monday. Mario Naufal said:
“There is almost no retail interest in crypto right now. Should we start re-infusing dino coins to bring retail back? After the Trump-Melania memecoin drama, it seems that retail has lost faith in the space.”
“None of my normie friends or family ask me anything about crypto anymore,” he added, highlighting the sentiment among retailers following the implosion of memecoins from the Trump family, which reduced their peak value by 90%.
The low search volumes reflect subdued retail investor sentiment about the state of the crypto market, which is still reeling from the effects of October's flash crash, the worst one-day crash in crypto history.

Crypto markets are still in “fear” mode after months
The October market crash saw nearly $20 billion in leveraged liquidity and some altcoins drop as much as 99 percent in one day.
The crash took BTC from a high of over $125,000 in November to a low of $80,000, and the price has continued to strengthen between $80,000-$90,000 since then.
The Crypto Fear and Greed Index, which tracks crypto market sentiment, hit a 10-year low in November, indicating “high levels of fear” among investors, according to CoinMarketCap.
Since the October crash, market sentiment has oscillated between “fearful” and “extremely fearful” and is at 28 at the time of writing.
The fear and greed indicator still shows fear among investors, but shows little improvement from market sentiment over the past several months.
