Trending Study Highlights Most Popular Crypto Assets in Europe, UK – Bitcoin Reigns in Europe, Shiba Inu Takes on the UK
This week, Bitcoin.com News received a report from askgamers.com which analyzes Google Trends (GT) data over the past year to find out which are the most popular crypto assets in the UK and Europe. According to the results, bitcoin (BTC) is the most popular digital currency in Europe as it was the most searched crypto in 21 countries. BTC edged out its competitors in the askgamblers.com study, as the leading crypto asset reigns supreme in countries like Germany, Finland, Norway, Poland, Romania, and Belgium.
While bitcoin (BTC) was the top crypto across Europe, shiba Inu (SHIB) is the most popular cryptocurrency in the U.K., according to the researcher’s collected Google searches. The meme token SHIB saw a significant increase in popularity during the last 12 months. The study’s findings show SHIB commands six different countries and the United Kingdom. In fact, SHIB is huge in Russia, France, Spain, Ukraine, Italy, Hungary, and Switzerland, in terms of GT searches.
Additionally, Ethereum (ETH) was the third most popular in the study, attracting interest from Sweden, Czechia, Latvia, and Slovenia. Next, cardano (ADA) held the fourth position in terms of GT research data, as Andorra, the Netherlands and Bulgaria showed a lot of interest in ADA. Dogecoin (DOGE) being the most popular in the United States, it is the fifth in Europe as the crypto meme is popular in Albania and Greece.
“With 38 million crypto users in Europe, and thousands of cryptocurrencies on the market to choose from, it is fascinating to see which one people are the most interested in investing in,” a spokesperson from askgamblers.com told Bitcoin.com’s newsdesk. “Although bitcoin is the most popular overall, the interest in shiba inu has grown to surpass bitcoin in major countries such as Russia and the U.K.”
In the US research study published by Coin Insider, the shiba inu (SHIB) only captured seven states across the country. Dogecoin was named a leader in this study because DOGE was the most popular in 23 US states, in terms of GT searches. The popularity of SHIB in the United States, according to data from this specific report, has been ranked as the fourth most popular crypto in the country.
