Bitcoin trading volume peaked in late February 2021 to a level much higher in the rest of the year, marking a significant month in the coin's history. Whilst there is no clear explanation why the trade volume went up so much on February 26, Bitcoin's price development suggests the cryptocurrency's value around that time declined somewhat after weeks of growth and continued media attention. That morning, Bitcoin went down by around 11 percent - potentially sparking a buying frenzy for people who saw this an opportune time to invest in the coin. Indeed, most consumers in both the U.S. and the UK invest in crypto for growth prospects.

Crypto 24h trading volume declined as 2023 progressed, with figures being one-third lower than in 2022. The decline follows after Binance and Coins - two of the biggest crypto exchanges in the world - received lawsuits in the United States. Observations are also that the crypto market was quiet after April, citing a lack of a "strong overarching narrative". This is in contrast to 2021 and 2022 when cryptocurrency dominated the news and many people sought fortune in the digital currency.

Bitcoin developments

Bitcoin's trade volume slowed in the second quarter of 2023, after hitting a noticeable growth at the beginning of the year. The coin outperformed most of the market. Some attribute this to the announcement in June 203 that BlackRock filed for a Bitcoin ETF. This iShares Bitcoin Trust was to use Coinbase Custody as its custodian. Regulators in the United States had not yet approved any applications for spot ETFs on Bitcoin.

Changes in Ethereum staking in 2023

Ethereum's trade volume changed in 2023 due to the rollout of the Shapella (Shanghai and Cappella) upgrade. The update allowed investors to withdraw (unstake) Ethereum deposited into the network. Staking can be somewhat compared to depositing money at a bank, where one would submit money to be held and gains interest as time goes by. Lido has the highest staking pool (a platform that allows for staking) in Ethereum, higher than major crypto exchanges Coinbase and Kraken.

Bitcoin's transaction volume was at its highest in December 2023, when the network processed over 724,000 coins on the same day. Bitcoin generally has a higher transaction activity than other cryptocurrencies, except Ethereum. This cryptocurrency is often processed more than one million times per day. Note that the transaction volume here refers to transactions registered within the Bitcoin blockchain. It should not be confused with Bitcoin's 24-hour trade volume, a metric associated with crypto exchanges. The more Bitcoin transactions, the more it is used in B2C payments? A Bitcoin transaction recorded in the blockchain can be any transaction, including B2C but also P2P. While it is possible to see in the blockchain which address sent Bitcoin to whom, details on who this person is and where they are from are often missing. Bitcoin was designed to go against monetary authorities and prides itself on being anonymous. An important argument against Bitcoin replacing cash or cards in payments is that the cryptocurrency was not allowed for such a task: Bitcoin ranks among the slowest cryptocurrencies in terms of transaction speed. Are cryptocurrencies taking over payments? Cryptocurrency payments are set to grow at a CAGR of nearly 17 percent between 2022 and 2029, although the market is relatively small. The forecast is according to a market estimate made in early 2023, based on various conditions and sources available at that time. Research across 40 countries during the same time suggested that the market share of cryptocurrency in e-commerce transactions was "less than one percent" in all surveyed countries, with predictions being this would not change in the future.

Despite a growing Bitcoin price and increasing global interest in cryptocurrencies, U.S. Bitcoin trading in early 2021 was lower than it was during June 2020. This conclusion reveals itself after investigating Bitcoin trading volume against domestic currencies used for the transaction of the virtual currency. In the first weeks of January 2021, less U.S. dollars were spent on buying Bitcoin than in several weeks in 2020. For some this might be surprising, as the United States ranks as the world's leading country in terms of Bitcoin trading in 2020.

It should nevertheless be noted that the source believes the domestic currencies are mainly used by the domestic population: it assumes U.S residents are the only ones who make transactions with U.S. dollars. Whether this assumption is right or not, cannot be verified here (although the international appeal of the U.S. dollar on foreign exchange markets should not be ruled out).

Bitcoin transactions from the UK grew steadily during 2020, as the cryptocurrency's price gathered pace, but did were not nearly as high as in late 2017. This conclusion reveals itself after investigating Bitcoin trading volume against domestic currencies used for the transaction of the virtual currency. The United Kingdom ranks as one of the countries with the most Bitcoin trading in the world in 2020.

It should be noted that the source believes the domestic currencies are mainly used by the domestic population: it assumes UK residents are the only ones who make transactions with British pounds. Whether this assumption is right or not, cannot be verified here. Also, the source does not explain the big difference between 2017 and 2021, or whether the high trading volume in 2017 was tied to a specific event.

OHLCV is an abbreviation for the five critical data points: Open, High, Low, Close, and Volume. It refers to the key points in analyzing an asset such as Bitcoin (BTC) in the market over a specified time. The dataset is important for not only traders and analysts but also for data scientists who work on BTC market prediction using artificial intelligence. The 'Open' and 'Close' prices represent the starting and ending price levels, while the 'High' and 'Low' are the highest and lowest prices during that period (a daily time frame (24h)). The 'Volume' is a measure of the total number of trades. This dataset provides five OHLCV data columns for BTC along with a column called "Next day close price" for regression problems and machine learning applications. The dataset includes daily information from 1/1/2012 to 8/6/2022.

Interest in Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in 2020 was seemingly higher in Africa and Latin America than some of the world's developed economies. This shows after analyzing Bitcoin trading volume against domestic currencies used for the transaction of the digital coin. In 2020, roughly 420 million U.S. dollars worth of Russian rubles were used to buy Bitcoin on an exchange, against 400 million U.S. dollars worth of Nigerian naira. The source assumes the currencies are mainly used by the domestic population - e.g. transactions made with British pounds are likely done by UK residents -, and makes the same assumption for the United States, despite the international appeal of the U.S. dollar on foreign exchange markets.

Africa and Latin America lead the way

Although the source does not mention all countries in Africa and Latin America, the few entries these regions do have in the list stand out. Bitcoin trading volume in Nigeria, for instance, was twice as high as that of the eurozone in 2020. Colombia's market size was twice that of Canada. Whether this interest is for actual payment use on a day-to-day basis or as a tool for investment is not really clear. Data from Statista's Global Consumer Survey on payment methods in Egypt reveals that eight percent of Egyptians either owned or used Bitcoin, but does not specify the exact use or purpose of the cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin: the "Renaissance"

Believed by some to fade into obscurity after hitting the news in 2017 and price declines that followed afterwards, the world's most well-known cryptocurrency witnessed a "rebirth" at the end of 2020: Within five days in January 2021, the price of Bitcoin soared from 30,000 U.S. dollars to 40,000 U.S. dollars. Bitcoin's market cap - calculated by multiplying the total number of Bitcoins in circulation against its price - grew as well, more than doubling in early January 2021 against November 2020

FTX's collapse in November 2022 meant that the market share of Binance and other leading crypto exchanges changed significantly from one month to the next. Binance, for instance, regained some of the market share it had lost between September and October 2022, growing by 0.8 percentage points in the month of November. Kraken, especially, was affected as the increase of one percentage point is the largest it had seen since 2021. The strong market position of Binance can also be observed when investigating the trading for crypto pairs on such exchanges, such as for Bitcoin - with trades on Binance that involve both Bitcoin and stablecoins being common. News that Binance was to take over FTX in 2022 initially led to a crypto trading volume that was two to four times higher than it was in the previous days.

Submission Description

The cryptocurrency is not just a new form of value store and exchange, it is a revolution of its own. Beginning with its use to provide peer-to-peer payment network (or digital money) like Bitcoin, today’s cryptocurrency, or crypto for short, have evolved way beyond its humble start. Underlying the crypto world, there lies amazing technology called Blockchain. In simple term, blockchain is a decentralized and shared digital ledger that records transactions transparently and immutably across nodes in the network. Today’s Crypto community has slowly turned into industry of its own introducing a whole spectrum of enigmatic pattern, trends, and economic framework. In this report we will explore the trend, correlations, and dynamics related to 20 selected Crypto projects to derived insights and build models that predict the future of crypto. Key Findings: Our exploratory data analysis (EDA) underlines the span and general pattern of the Google Trend and Price related data. The data being analyzed span from the earliest entry on 2014-09-17 up to the latest on 2024-04-07. Time series decomposition was performed to extract trend, seasonal cycle, and residuals that made up the Google Interest Trend data. Analysis on the time-series decomposition help us distinguish cluster (a) with projects on the rise such as Solana, SingularityNet, Fetch.ai, and Ocean Protocol; and cluster (b) containing old project such as Dogecoin, Litecoin Filecoin, Tezos that are facing stagnant/downfall trend. Based on the Google Trends’s Correlation across projects we characterize Highly correlated projects cluster with correlation of about >0.8, and up to 0.92 with Bitcoin-Ethereum-Chainlink-Litecoin-Monero as the prominent group members. By introducing additional Google Trend data to understand Crypto Narrative, we worked toward building interpretable Event/Entity driving the market sentiment to explain our decomposed Time-series data. Based on Lag Characteristics in Correlation of Google Trend and Price/Trade Volume we highlight the tendency for the correlation to accumulate at longer lag time. Using NeuralProphet Framework we build forecasting models for Google Trend and Token Price for all 20 projects investigated here. We deployed these models to predict Trend and Price for all 20 projects for the following 52 weeks (up until April 2025). The developed models performed extraordinarily well with the R^2 value for most fall between the range of 0.75-0.88, while the highest goes up to 0.919. We highlight the correlation between Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ocean, with the rest of other projects. Ocean and Bitcoin, also Ethereum and Solana are the most correlated, both with correlation value of 0.89. The Kucoin’s KCS token is the least correlated with both Ocean and Bitcoin (0.31), while with Ethereum, Filecoin have the least correlation (0.41).

Conclusion This investigative study presents a thorough data analysis and exploration of correlations, time-lag characteristics, and time-series decomposition concerning Google Trends and token prices for 20 selected crypto/blockchain projects. By decomposing the time-series data, we have identified several clusters of crypto projects that is moving up in popularity such as Fetch.ai, SingularityNet, Solana, Ocean and some others that are stuck or in downfall trend, such as Dogecoin and Litecoin. Our analysis also includes a detailed exploration of various factors that contribute to understanding the data better, such as the incorporation of event-driven trends that explain outlier spikes in the residual data from our decomposed time-series.

In addition to our in-depth analysis, we build strong mini-library of forecasting models for predicting the Google Trend as well as price for the upcoming year with R^2 score that goes as high as 0.88 for most cases. Moreover, in order to demonstrate the utility of our exploratory data analysis tools and pipeline in full we also include all the results and analysis output produced in this work.

Looking ahead, we plan to expand our developed forecasting models and the presented data into a "CryptoForecast MiniApp." This application, based on the Streamlit package, will be hosted on a decentralized cloud (Akash) and connected to the Ocean marketplace and Predictoor, enhancing accessibility and utility for users interested in real-time data for Google Trends and Crypto Token Price forecasts.
