Nations like South Korea lead the pack with lightning-fast broadband, low latency, and high average download rates, ensuring smooth gameplay especially for data-intensive titles.

Methodology

The raw data for the two factors was cleaned, checked, and standardized on the same scale from 0 to 10, where 0 and 10 represent the worst and best values present in the data to allow for accurate comparison between factors. Factors for which a high score would be negative were subtracted from 10 to invert their scoring. 

Each factor was assigned weighting, reflecting its importance in the analysis. The factors, their source and their percentage weightings are as follows:

• Avg. Download Rate (Mbps) on Steam, 80.0%: https://store.steampowered.com/stats/content/
• Total MB Used on Steam per Person from 24/08/20-24/08/27 (using 2023 populations), 20.0%: https://store.steampowered.com/stats/content/

Once the weightings were assigned, the total score for the factors was calculated, producing an overall index score out of 100 for each entry, upon which the final ranking is based.

A new study has named the Netherlands as the country most interested in cryptocurrency, leading the rankings with an average of 2,698 monthly searches for crypto-related terms.  

Experts at the trading review website BinaryOptions.com analyzed the countries with the highest search volumes for terms related to cryptocurrency, such as “Crypto market analysis” and “Crypto trading.” Each country's average number of monthly searches was then compared to its population, determining the final list. 

The study identifies the Netherlands as the most crypto-obsessed country, topping the rankings with an average of 2,698 monthly searches per 100,000 people. “Bitcoin” is the leading search term in the country. Other recurring search terms include “Crypto wallet” and “Bitcoin mining.”

The top 10 countries most interested in cryptocurrency:  

Rank	Country	Average Monthly Search Volume per 100K
1	Netherlands	2,698
2	Austria	2,042
3	Switzerland	1,873
4	Germany	1,717

Sweden ranks as the ninth-most crypto-obsessed country, with an average monthly search volume of 1,377 per 100,000 residents. The study suggests that there is a rise in people investing in crypto for the first time, with “What is cryptocurrency” being one of the most popular search terms in the country.  

Spain is named as the tenth-most interested country in cryptocurrency, with an average of 1,296 monthly searches per 100,000 people. Some of the country’s most popular search terms include “Crypto exchange” and “Crypto market.”

Other low-ranking countries include Niger, with an average of 1.5 monthly searches per 100,000 people, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, with an average monthly search volume of 1.9 per 100,000 residents.  

Andre Witzel, a Trading Expert at BinaryOptions.com, commented:  

“This study highlights that interest in cryptocurrency differs substantially on a regional level, and this is due to numerous factors.  

“Countries that are self-proclaimed tech hubs and invest thousands in technological advancements have been quicker to embrace crypto, unlike countries that are wary of adopting new technologies.  

“Notably, the U.S. and the UK are both absent from the top ten ranking, likely due to the widespread level of uncertainty surrounding cryptocurrency. This uncertainty can be linked to the media often highlighting stories about crypto scams and fraud. As both countries already have stable financial systems and digital payment methods, the world of digital currency may be less appealing.  

“Meanwhile, the Netherlands has a reputation for quickly adopting new technologies, making them one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world. The country has a strong culture of tech innovation and encourages advancements in cryptocurrency, which explains why the Netherlands tops the rankings in this study.”
