Google's 'Year in Search 2021' Reveals Cryptocurrencies in Top Trending News

In an unexpected turn of events, Google Trends' annual report for 2021 has shown that cryptocurrencies have made a significant impact on global search trends, with Dogecoin and Ethereum securing a spot among the top 10 most searched news topics.

Dogecoin, the meme-inspired cryptocurrency, managed to break into the top 4 most popular news on Google, a remarkable achievement considering it was not on the trending list in 2020. Ethereum, on the other hand, ranked tenth in the same category.

The top three news topics according to Google Trends were Afghanistan, AMC Stock, and COVID-19 vaccine, reflecting global concerns and events. However, the presence of Dogecoin and Ethereum in the top 10 underscores the growing interest in the digital currency market.

Arkham Intelligence, a data analytics firm, ranked Robinhood as one of the largest Ethereum holders. The identity of the largest Ethereum holder from Arkham Intelligence's 2021 report remains undisclosed in the provided search results.

The popularity of Dogecoin can be attributed to the endorsements of Tesla CEO Elon Musk and the enthusiasm it generated in the market. Similarly, the popularity of Ethereum can be linked to its use in various NFT (Non-Fungible Token) and DeFi (Decentralized Finance) projects, which have gained significant traction this year.

Interestingly, Dogecoin's popularity surpassed Bitcoin in terms of most searched keywords on Google, a shift that underscores the changing dynamics in the cryptocurrency market. The sudden spike in Ethereum's price and share in the crypto market is a direct result of its popularity.

This significant progress in the recognition of cryptocurrencies in the mainstream news is a testament to their growing relevance and influence. As we move forward, it will be interesting to see how these digital currencies continue to shape the global financial landscape.
