5 Most Searched Cryptocurrencies on Google in 2022

The cryptocurrency market had a tough time in 2022. The main reasons for this are the Fed’s hawkish stance and monetary policy. Other factors include the collapse of FTX, Terra, Celsius Network and other projects and platforms. On top of all these developments, the total market has dropped by 70 percent since the beginning of the year and is currently hovering around $770 billion. In this process, many traders and investors withdrew from the market. Meanwhile, as a result of the low demand for crypto, the interest in the keyword “buy cryptocurrencies” on the internet has dropped to the bottom of the February 2020 period.
