Where do the UK and US rank?
United Kingdom
The UK ranked 12th overall, with 1,753,000 cryptocurrency searches per month - the equivalent of 2.6% of the population searching each month.
United States
Despite having the highest overall total across the ten cryptocurrencies, at 6,546,100 searches per month, the United States ranked as the 15th most crypto obsessed country when accounting for it population size - at just 1.9% of the population searching for these cryptocurrencies.
"It will come as no surprise that Americans are frequent searchers of cryptocurrency, a spokesperson from CryptoManiaks commented.
"However, by considering how populous a country is, we are able to generate a much more accurate picture of a country's general interest levels in crypto. European countries tend to dominate the rankings, accounting for seven of the ten countries that make the top ten.
"Interestingly, Dogecoin's popularity has surpassed that of Ethereum in a significant number of countries, with nearly 2 million more monthly searches worldwide for the coin, when considering searches over the past 12 months," they added.
