By the end of December 2025, the search volume for the term "cryptocurrency" on Google has dropped to near the annual low, and American consumers' attention has also fallen to the lowest point of the year. The sharp decline in retail investor searches reflects a widespread investor sentiment of fatigue, which is likely caused by market downturns, policy changes, and fluctuations in meme coins. Although historically low public interest sometimes signals a market recovery, analysts warn that search trends reflect market sentiment rather than direct price signals, indicating that the current market is still steadily developing without the usual retail hype.
