News
United States President Donald Trump’s recent foray into the memecoin market drove Google search interest for the term “crypto” to its highest level since 2021.
On Jan. 18, Trump launched an official memecoin project just days before his inauguration. Following the launch of the Official Trump (TRUMP) token, First Lady Melania Trump also launched a self-titled memecoin, Melania Meme (MELANIA). Both crypto assets performed well during launch but eventually saw sharp declines.
Google Trends data revealed a surge in search interest for “crypto” following Trump’s memecoin release. The term reached its peak since November 2021, when Bitcoin (BTC) hit an all-time high above $67,000.
