  • More Korean users mentioned BTC than any other crypto online in the past week.
  • The awareness surrounding XRP is growing significantly.

Last week, XRP dominated the cryptocurrency search category of the Korean internet community, highlighting the increasing interest in the altcoin and its development. However, Bitcoin, the pioneer cryptocurrency, remained ahead in mentions by internet users in Korea.

In detail , the number of XRP searches among the Korean crypt community last week was 98,957. This figure is more than double the number of searches for BTC. Bitcoin was the cryptocurrency with the second-highest searches during that period. 

The gap between the number of searches for XRP and other cryptos is significant. This gap suggests increased interest in XRP from the Korean crypto community.

Bitcoin Leads in Korean Social Mentions, XRP Ranks Sixth

Besides the searches that XRP dominated, Bitcoin topped another crucial social metric in the Korean internet community: mentions. BTC mentions in Korean cyberspace reached 2,494. 

ETH followed, which was mentioned 1,332 times online. Nonetheless, despite topping the list among the most searched cryptos, XRP ranked sixth among those the Korean community mentioned on social media platforms.

Compilation reports detailed the top ten digital assets mentioned among the Korean crypto community. They categorized them from the highest to least mentioned. The top ten include BTC, ETH, TRUMP, SOL, ADA, XRP, ONDO, DOGE, PI, and KAITO. 

Thus, despite being the most searched altcoin, XRP still only ranked sixth among the most-mentioned tokens.

Analysts Note XRP’s Rising Profile

Crypto analysts are now spotlighting XRP’s surging search popularity as a key indicator of growing market confidence. The altcoin’s recovery from years of regulatory suppression remains a notable factor, even as the legal process nears its conclusion. 

Many analysts anticipate that Ripple will soon overcome its remaining regulatory challenges, potentially liberating XRP from the lingering skepticism that has constrained its growth for years.
