Analysis of online search trends has revealed California to be the United States’ biggest crypto market, generating the most engaged region for digital assets.
The research, conducted by the online casino and sportsbook operator JeffBet, analysed online search data, covering a period of 12 months, comparing searches for 20 cryptocurrency-related keywords across each one of the country’s 50 states. The comprehensive trend searches were then weighed and scored to reveal each state’s crypto market score.
The data showed that California records the highest levels of cryptocurrency interest in the US, with a crypto market score of 10 out of 10 across all search terms.
The Golden State recorded the highest rates of interest for the words ‘cryptocurrency’, ‘crypto’, ‘dogecoin’, ‘Coinbase’, ‘tether’, ‘cardano’ and ‘binance’, placing it at the top of the rankings.
Neighbouring Nevada came in second place with 9.19, which is 50 per cent higher than the average score of 6.19 all over America. Nevada has the highest search trends for a quarter of all the twenty terms. These include ‘bitcoin’, ‘shiba inu coin’ and ‘TRON’.
