The number of Bitcoin search queries in Google has reached 34 points in March, which is the maximum indicator from the beginning of the year. Regarding February, the metric increased by 26%, the analysts of the publication The Block drew attention.

A similar trend is observed with the search “ether” search – the indicator has increased from 16 to 19 points. The increase in the number of search queries indicates the revival of interest in cryptocurrencies and industry by retail investors and traders, the experts of The Block believe.

Changes in the policy of American departments, the closure of court cases against a number of projects and the desire of investors to diversify traditional assets served as a favorable background for digital currencies, analysts suggested.

Nevertheless, the cryptocurrency ended the first quarter of the year against the backdrop of a significant decline in quotations and capitalization. Bitcoin’s dominance increased, while the broadcast and altcoins experienced more significant losses, experts said The Block.

Earlier experts of the investment company Grayscale Reportedthat the trade war of US President Donald Trump negatively affects fiat assets, but is a favorable factor for bitcoin and gold.
