The research, conducted by trading experts Safe Trade Binary Options, analysed Google Trends data over the past 12 months for six different search terms related to cryptocurrency and compared this across every state in America. An average score out of 100 was then used to establish the states most interested in cryptocurrency.

As well as topping the searches for ‘Bitcoin’ and ‘Shiba Inu Coin’, Nevada is the third most interested in cryptocurrency, with an overall score of 87.
With a score of 85, Washington is in fourth place, followed by Florida in fifth place scoring 84. Washington ranks third for ‘Ethereum’ searches and has seen more than a 1000% rise in searches for ‘invest in crypto’ over the past five years. Meanwhile, Florida saw an increase of 591% for ‘invest in crypto’ searches over the same period and came in second place for ‘cryptocurrency’ searches.
