Crypto market interest falls to yearly low
Interest in cryptocurrencies dropped to its lowest level in the past 12 months by the end of 2025, according to Google Trends data. The search index for the keyword "crypto" fell to 26 out of 100, just two points above the year's minimumю
This decline followed a series of shocks in the second half of the year. In October, after Bitcoin reached a historic high above $125,000, a flash crash was triggered by news of large-scale US trade tariffs. Around $20 billion worth of positions were liquidated in a single day, and Bitcoin’s price plunged to $100,000, bottoming out near $80,000 in November. Additionally, retail investors’ confidence was shaken by the collapse of "family" meme coins linked to the Trump family, many of which lost 80–90% of their value.
This trend reflects high uncertainty among retail investors, likely hindering a quick recovery of the crypto market. Future developments will depend on price stabilization of major cryptocurrencies and improved investor sentiment.
