Google Searches for ‘Altcoin’ and ‘Ethereum’ Soar — What’s Driving the Surge?
Jakarta, Pintu News – Global interest in altcoins and Ethereum (ETH) is on the rise. Google Trends data records the highest “altcoin” searches since 2021, and the highest “Ethereum” in the past two years.
This surge is driven by the growth of crypto-based ETF products and the expansion of corporate treasury strategies into altcoins. This phenomenon shows that investor attention is now starting to expand from Bitcoin (BTC) to other crypto assets.

Altcoin ETFs are getting crowded, institutions are getting in big time
By 2025, crypto ETFs will no longer be limited to Bitcoin and Ethereum. During the first half, there were 31 altcoin ETF filings with US regulators. For example, Canary Capital filed for a spot SUI ETF, followed by Nasdaq and Cboe BZX who also filed for similar products. Altcoin ETFs are now the main bridge for institutional investors to enter new blockchain projects.
Bloomberg analysts estimate the chances of Solana (SOL), Ripple (XRP), and Litecoin (LTC) ETF approval at 95%. Other altcoins such as Dogecoin (DOGE), Cardano (ADA), and Avalanche (AVAX) also have high chances. This is a clear signal that altcoins are now considered worthy of long-term investment. The market responded with an increase in price and transaction volume.

Companies Start Storing Altcoins as Treasury Assets
Many public companies have started adding altcoins to their treasuries. Ethereum (ETH) is now the primary reserve asset for companies like Metaplanet, BitMine, and SharpLink, totaling billions of dollars. ETH is also widely staked to generate additional revenue. This reflects that ETH is not just an investment asset, but also part of a financial strategy.
In addition to ETH, Solana (SOL) is also being eyed. DeFi Development Corp. holds 1 million SOL (IDR 3.25 trillion), while Upexi increased its stake to 2 million SOL. Both staked most of the tokens for additional proceeds. Even Chainlink (LINK) started accumulating through the Chainlink Reserve mechanism to strengthen the network.

Ethereum’s price jumped 30% in a week and 78% on an annualized basis, now sitting at IDR 76.7 million ($4,722). This is only 3% below ETH’s record high recorded in November 2021. Other altcoins also gained: XRP is up 10%, SOL is up 19.3%, SUI is up 15%, and LINK is up 43%.
CoinGecko data shows that the asset rotation from Bitcoin to altcoins is becoming clearer. The combination of ETF support, treasury strategies, and stronger prices has made altcoins more relevant. Altcoins are no longer just an alternative, but a major part of the global cryptocurrency ecosystem.
