Cardano (ADA), Dogecoin (DOGE), XRP and six altcoins are among the most googled crypto assets of 2022
New data shows that a handful of altcoins, including Cardano (ADA) and XRP, are among the most googled crypto assets of 2022.
According to a new study by personal finance website DollarGeek, Bitcoin (BTC) is the most searched digital asset both globally and in the US, followed by popular meme assets Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Dogecoin (DOGE).
The stats show that the largest crypto asset by market cap was searched an average of 4.57 million times per month in the US in 2022, while SHIB received 1.29 million searches and DOGE saw 729,000.
Globally, the king crypto was searched 28.4 million times per month, while Shiba Inu and Dogecoin were searched 4.43 million and 5.85 million, respectively.
As stated by a DollarGeek spokesperson,
“Bitcoin remains the most popular cryptocurrency in the US and around the world, having been the first cryptocurrency with broader usage since its release in 2009. However, its alternatives, while many times smaller, are growing in popularity, as illustrated by the sheer number of searches for some of the recent cryptocurrencies.”
Rounding out the top five are the leading smart contract platform Ethereum (ETH) and its competitor Avalanche (AVAX). The Layer 1 blockchains saw 611,000 and 534,000 monthly searches in the US and 3.8 million and 861,000 searches worldwide this year.
The other five digital currencies on the top 10 list are BTC alternative Litecoin (LTC) at #6, Cardano at #7, XRP at #8, decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol Safemoon (SFM) at #9, and the quantum-resistant one Blockchain Nexus (NXS) on 10.
