Between May 2 and August 21, 2022, Coingecko researchers conducted astudyaimed at determining the top 10 and 20 US states most interested in the two major cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Illinois residents visited more Bitcoin web pages and less Ethereum web pages. Most of the top 20 states had higher Bitcoin scores, but states like New Jersey, Wisconsin, Colorado, and Florida had higher Ethereum rank scores.
Following the second most interested states were New York, Florida, Washington, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, Georgia, and Arizona.Bobby Ong, COO and co-founder of Coingecko, said that bit explained that he was not surprised that California was the most predominant state in the U.S. in terms of interest in coin and ethereum.
“As one of the world’s major technological hubs, it is not surprising that California takes the crown in “blue chip” cryptocurrency interest,” Ong said in a statement on Friday. Notably, Colorado, Wisconsin, New Jersey, and Florida are more interested in Ethereum than Bitcoin,” he said. It remains to be seen how these rankings and market shares will play out in the future in the wake of Ethereum’s Merge.”
