United States, Germany, Turkey lead search interest in Ethereum

Ether search interest is higher than ever, and is attracting interest from around the globe, a new report reveals.

The United States is the country most interested in Ether (ETH), followed by Germany and Turkey, an analysis of search data has revealed.

A report by Invezz.com, as reported by Finbold, showed 1,116,000 searches per month for the term ‘Ether’ emanating from the United States. Excluding searches by budding chemists, that’s the equivalent of around 36,000 internet searches per day for the world’s number-two cryptocurrency by market capitalization.

Germany and Turkey followed close behind with 736,300 and 408,500 searches per month respectively. Among the top three, Germany contained the most Ether searches per capita, with 9.46 searches per 1,000 internet users, compared to 3.57 in the U.S.

Switzerland, which came 12th on the list, showed the highest concentration of search interest, with 11.79 searches per 1,000 internet users. The United Kingdom came 6th on the list, with 230,000 monthly searches, equating to 3.53 searches per 1,000. Predictably, the highest concentrations of interest came from Western countries where widespread internet access is most prevalent.

Google Trends data shows a marked increase in the number of Ethereum Google queries since the beginning of 2021, with searches hitting an all-time high to date. The Ether coin price increased close to 400% since January alone, climbing from around $700 to its current valuation of $3,460. As the dollar value of Ethereum grew, so too did its overall dominance in the crypto market cap rankings, with Ether representing close to 20% of the global market cap by early May.

A recent report showed that Ethereum investment products continued to boom this month, even as the coin price receded almost 25% from its all-time high. Ethereum’s transaction fees fell in exaggerated tandem with the coin price, sinking 71% from a recent peak.

The Congolese Mountain of Gold: Surprise Discovery in Africa Shows Metal’s Scarcity Is Hard to Prove

A myriad of gold bugs like to compliment the yellow precious metal for its ostensible scarcity, as estimates say only 2,500 to 3,000 tons of new gold is produced annually. While new gold discoveries have seemingly slowed, investigative studies also show that in some areas, gold is being smuggled into the economy by the ton, and often never accounted for as far as per annum issuance estimates. Recently, reports show a whole mountain of gold was discovered in the Congo, as the Democratic Republic of the Congo is well known for being a region that sees tons of smuggled gold filtered into the global financial system unreported. Surprise Gold Deposits Continue to Crack the Precious Metal’s Scarcity Proposition It has always been said that the precious metal gold (Au) is scarce, and some reports even say that gold mining on earth will end by the year 2050 . Additionally, estimates also show that there’s roughly 2,500 to 3,000 tons of new gold that is accounted for and enters into the fin...
