Google searches for Bitcoin halving reach record levels

Google has reported an unprecedented surge in interest in the Bitcoin halving, surpassing all previous records. According to Google Trends data, search interest for the term “Bitcoin halving” has already reached a score of 45, and it is projected to reach a score of 100 by the end of the month, indicating peak popularity. The upcoming halving event, scheduled for April 20th at 4:00 am UTC, will reduce the block rewards from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC. Nigeria, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Cyprus have shown the highest levels of interest in the Bitcoin halving, according to Google Trends. This heightened interest in the event comes as no surprise, given Bitcoin’s impressive performance in recent months. Starting the year at $42,200, Bitcoin reached an all-time high of $73,600 on March 13th. Although its price has cooled off since then and currently stands at $61,078, market commentators are optimistic about its potential for a significant rally following the halving.
