Ethereum’s(ETH) recent impressive performance has led to a spike in Google searches. Google Trends data has revealed that the number of searches for ‘Ethereum’ is currently at its peak.
Ethereum’s previous peak in search popularity was on Jan. 13, 2018 — the date of ETH’s all-time high of $1,432.88. However, in January, its popularity increased by 5x.

In contrast, Bitcoin has become far less popular on Google. Meanwhile, when Bitcoin recorded an all-time high of $19,900, Ethereum was three times lower. Although Bitcoin hit a new all-time high of $42,000, but has now dropped below $40,000. According to crypto traders, the fluctuating trajectory of interest in the asset may be a good enough measure of their individual performances.
