Google Searches on Crypto Drop to Their Lowest Level

Summarize this article with:

When uncertainty rumbles, crowds retreat to their safe values. Gold shines brighter, silver reassures, and bitcoin… is forgotten. At this end of 2025, public interest in crypto is not just declining, it seems paused. Even Google, the mirror of our curiosities, shows unprecedented disinterest. People no longer type “crypto” like before. They hesitate. They skip. They turn the page? Not yet.

Exhausted man wanders through a post-apocalyptic crypto desert, ruins of Bitcoin and Google, orange atmosphere, total digital silence.

En bref

Google’s Digital Desert: Crypto Is No Longer in Fashion

In August, a surge of interest had briefly brought Ethereum, Solana, and Chainlink into the spotlight of Google Trends. By mid-December, the search volume for the word “crypto” dropped to 26 on the 0-100 scale. In the United States, this represents a 12-month low.

It’s more than just a number: it reflects a break-up. And this is not a first. In April, searches had already collapsed following Donald Trump’s brutal pricing decisions. Markets flared up, but not in a good way.

Then came October, a dark month. In one day, altcoins lost up to 99% of their value. Result? Nobody wants to hear about crypto anymore. Even bitcoin, which still holds steady between 80,000 and 90,000 dollars, no longer excites retail investors.

On X, Mario Nawfal does not mince words:

After the fiasco of the Trump/Melania memecoins, it seems retail investors have lost trust in the sector. None of my “normie” friends or family talks to me about crypto anymore.

The crypto industry has always oscillated between hope and disillusionment. But this time, even memes no longer entertain. Tokens linked to Trump and Melania? Evaporated, after losing more than 90% of their value. Enough to dampen the most enthusiastic.

The Community Withdraws, Analysts Stir

When the general public’s interest evaporates, the crypto scene becomes a closed club. A theater for insiders where only the most fervent still speculate on the future. The paradox? Some analysts already shout about the next bull run. And not a small one. While Google sleeps, experts predict the rise.

But who will participate if the public boycotts? Bitcoin is at 87,800 dollars. Stable, yes. Exciting, not really. Weekend traders have returned to their ETFs, influencers talk about artificial intelligence, and forums empty out.

Nonetheless, some still believe. Charles Hoskinson sees BTC at 250,000 dollars. Others bet on 180,000 in 2026. Away from the crowds, the dream continues… in the VIP rooms of the crypto industry.

Crypto in Numbers: What Recent News Reveals

  • Google search volume for “crypto” dropped to 26 by the end of 2025;
  • The Trump-Melania token lost over 90% of its value in a few weeks;
  • BTC price is currently trading at $87,875;
  • The October flash crash caused $20 billion in liquidations;
  • The Fear & Greed Index hit 10 in November (level: extreme fear).

In this gloomy atmosphere, some voices refuse resignation. For them, this disinterest is only a slump. A pause, not abandonment. Because according to several experts, bitcoin is only at the beginning of a bullish cycle that could last until 2035. The decade 2026-2035 could well redefine the contours of digital wealth. But someone still needs to type “crypto” into Google.
