XRP's Google Search Interest Hits Record High as Price Climbs Toward $3, Surpassing 2017 Crypto Frenzy

 

Interest in XRP has gone ballistic. Google Trends data indicates an all-time high in search activity. This surge has outpaced even the peak of the 2017 crypto boom, largely driven by XRP's significant price movements and its ongoing legal battle.

 

XRP Overtakes Ethereum in Search Interest

 

The surge comes as XRP's price approached $3, briefly making it the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. Ripple's token attracted public attention as its market cap climbed past $150 billion, sparking widespread interest. However, the excitement wasn't sustained. Within weeks, search interest plummeted from a peak score of 100 to just 22, mirroring the token's price stabilization.

Bitcoin and Ethereum, the two crypto market leaders, painted a contrasting picture during this period. While Bitcoin maintained strong search momentum with a score of 43, Ethereum lagged with 22 points. XRP's ability to surpass Ethereum's search interest highlights its unique position in capturing public attention, even if momentarily.

 

Ripple's Legal Drama Keeps XRP in the Spotlight

 

Ripple's case against the SEC remains one of the most headlined matters for the token. Most likely, the drama of the court case and market movements in combination have contributed to the token gaining widespread public interest so suddenly. 
At the same time, its current price, which at the last update from CoinGecko is $2.43, has declined by 0.8% over 24 hours, and that impact may be fading

 

XRP Lags Behind Its High

 

Despite its impressive rally, XRP is still 28.8% below its historic all-time high. Analysts note that although short-term enthusiasm is undeniable, sustaining interest requires more than a price surge.
