As its growth continues, recent data shows that the number of NFT-related Google searches has reached a new all-time high.
The number of NFT searches on Google has reached previous highs in March and between August and September this year. However, this month, the searches have spiked to a new record. At the time of writing, the number of Google searches for NFTs is even higher than popular meme coin Dogecoin.
This spike happened after crypto data aggregator, CoinGecko announced an upcoming NFT conference.
The NFT Conference Of The Year
CoinGecko recently announced its inaugural NFT conference dubbed “GeckoCon – NFTs Gone Wild.” The virtual conference, which will begin in a few hours, will go on for three days – from Wednesday to Friday.

According to the data, Asian countries top the chart, with China showing the highest search interest of 100. Singapore, Hong Kong, and the Philippines subsequently follow at 60, 52, and 46 respectively.
Despite citizens’ interest, the Chinese government, in September, warned against NFTs. They claimed that it was a big bubble, and the value would eventually decrease. This was after two of the country’s biggest tech companies entered the sector.
