Nigeria is the most cryptocurrency-obsessed country in the world, according to a new study by CoinGecko.
The research examined Google Trends data of search terms frequently used by people interested in cryptocurrency.
The terms were combined to give each English-speaking country a ‘total search score’ to discover those curious about cryptocurrency since the market crash in April 2022.
Nigeria, with a total search score of 371, topped the list of nations where ‘cryptocurrency’, ‘invest in crypto’ and ‘buy crypto’ were most searched.
The United Arab Emirates is second with a total search score of 270. UAE’s population searched for the word ‘cryptocurrency’ and the term ‘invest in crypto’.
