Google search interest for cryptocurrency-related terms, including "crypto," has been on the decline for the past two months, reaching levels not seen since late 2020.
What Happened: Google Trends data shows that the term "crypto" currently has a score of 17, indicating a substantial drop in search volume.
The lower interest in cryptocurrencies also coincides with lower trading volumes on exchanges; according to Guy Turner, also known as "Coin Bureau Guy," trading volumes have reached a 32-month low.
Turner suggests that the fall in interest is related to a bear market in cryptocurrency. “Crypto search trends are at the lowest point they have been since December 2020. This also corresponds to exchange volumes which were at 32-month lows this past May," he tweeted.

Why It Matters: The decline in search interest is most noticeable when it comes to Bitcoin BTC/USD.
Google searches for "Bitcoin" have dropped to levels not seen since October 2020, when Bitcoin was priced at around $10,000.
Price Action: At the time of writing, BTC was trading at $26,834.57, down 1.12% in the last 24 hours, according to Benzinga Pro.
