According to the resource Cryptogambling.tv, after the recent rise in the Bitcoin rate by 18%, there is an increase in the popularity of search queries “buy Bitcoin” around the world.
The greatest increase in interest occurred in the UK – the number of search queries for “buy bitcoin” over the past 7 days in the country has increased by 826%.
“The huge surge in such requests in the UK, coupled with the rise in cryptocurrency prices, highlights the growing interest and potential influence of traditional financial institutions in the digital asset space,” a spokesperson for Cryptogambling.tv said.
Other countries are also seeing increased interest. Thus, in the United States they began to look for opportunities to buy bitcoins 250% more often. At the same time, the more specialized query “how to buy BTC on Fidelity” jumped in popularity by 3,100%.
People around the world began asking Google twice as often whether it was a good time to buy Bitcoin, and requests for the launch of BlackRock Bitcoin ETF increased in popularity by 250%.
Let us recall that against the backdrop of the possible launch of a spot Bitcoin ETF, the rate of the first cryptocurrency exceeded $35,000 . However, former BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes believes that interest in ETFs did not have much impact on the price of Bitcoin, but that the issue was due to the tense international situation and possible inflation.
