Stablecoin searches reached an all-time high on Google as market cap topped a record $270 billion following passage of the GENIUS Act.
Google search data shows interest in stablecoins surged to an all-time high this month as regulations were greenlit, stablecoin issuance and supply skyrocketed, and institutions increasingly look to launch their own tokenized fiat equivalents.
The previous peak for stablecoin searches was in May 2022, just after the depeg of the Terra (USTC) algorithmic stablecoin and the collapse of the Luna ecosystem.
More recent data shows search interest surged in mid-June and then again in mid-July following the passing of the Guiding and Empowering Nation’s Innovation for US Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act into law on July 18.
