Google's cryptocurrency searches hit a five-year high

On January 20th, according to CoinDesk, as US President-elect Trump is about to give his inaugural speech, Google search data shows that the global search volume for the keyword "how to buy cryptocurrency" has soared, reaching a five-year peak (100 points). This data reflects the great interest of retail investors in the crypto market. Analysts pointed out that Trump's meme coins $TRUMP and $MELANIA quickly attracted billions of dollars in market capitalization and pushed crypto assets from the fringes into the mainstream, flipping the traditional "Overton window" (social acceptance range theory). Rumor has it that Trump may announce the Bitcoin strategic reserve plan and make cryptocurrency a national priority in his inaugural speech, which has aroused strong market attention. Former Coinbase CTO Balaji said that Trump's move could start a boom in tokenized equity financing, while anonymous analyst Trevor.btc believes that Trump's actions set the stage for the potential deregulation of the US crypto market. Note: The Overton Window is a political theory that describes the range of policies and opinions that are acceptable to the public at a given time. It argues that the political feasibility of a policy depends primarily on whether it is within this acceptable range, rather than the preferences of individual politicians.
