Bitcoin (BTC) remains the most searched term on Google in the United States, according to Ahrefs data. Even amid discussions about Donald Trump, guns, and other political and entertainment topics, Bitcoin maintains its position as the top search term, with Nevada being the most "Bitcoin-crazy" state in the US. While Donald Trump occasionally surpasses Bitcoin in search volume, this only happened for two days in the last 30 days, when reports of a possible arrest emerged. The primary reason for Nevada's interest in Bitcoin is attributed to lower taxes and local government initiatives to promote innovation, with the state's long-standing gambling reputation also contributing to the success and high interest in Bitcoin. However, a new report from the US Treasury concludes that North Korea and criminals are using decentralized finance (DeFi) services to obtain illicit profits. The report also states that most money laundering, terrorist financing, and proliferation financing occurs using fiat currency or outside the digital asset ecosystem.
