Global search interest for the term ‘crypto’ has dropped to a one-year low, signaling fading retail curiosity as 2025 comes to a close. According to Google Trends data, worldwide interest stood at just 26 on a 0–100 scale in late December, hovering barely above the year’s low of 24. This sharp decline follows a turbulent year marked by severe market sell-offs, flash crashes, and high-profile memecoin collapses that have shaken casual investor confidence, potentially setting the stage for quieter market conditions dominated by institutional players rather than retail speculation.
