Shiba Inu (SHIB) has emerged as the second most searched cryptocurrency in Europe, trailing only behind Bitcoin. The information comes amidst a significant surge in SHIB searches on Google Trends this month.
“SHIB is the 2nd most searched crypto in Europe only behind Bitcoin. The #SHIBARMY‘s unstoppable growth is only just beginning,” Shib’s official handle announced on X (formerly Twitter).
The recent uptick in searches indicates a growing interest in alternative cryptocurrencies, often referred to as altcoins. However, SHIB’s popularity in Google searches is not just a European phenomenon. The trend is global, with significant search volumes coming from various parts of the world.
The rise of SHIB searches has been particularly noticeable this month, with a marked increase in countries such as Pakistan, Netherlands, Slovenia, Canada, and Nigeria. This global interest underscores the growing acceptance and curiosity surrounding SHIB, a token that started as a meme but has since evolved into a serious player in the crypto market.
The reasons behind this surge are multifaceted. It can be attributed to the community-driven nature of SHIB, which has fostered a strong and dedicated user base. It can also be due to the token’s affordability, which allows investors to hold millions of tokens for a relatively small investment.
Moreover, the developers behind the popular cryptocurrency have been proactive in expanding the Shib ecosystem. From ShibaSwap, a decentralized exchange, to the layer-2 solution known as Shibarium, these initiatives could have also contributed to the token’s popularity.
