Bitcoin demand surges in China as traditional investment methods drop

Bitcoin’s spot in the Chinese market has always been guaranteed, although the country’s government has always been quite antagonistic towards the digital currency. The trading of BTC and the majority of other digital currencies is still illegal in China. Regardless of this backlash, China’s cryptocurrency community is still very spirited as Google trends indicate that Bitcoin demand is about to hike very soon.

According to data from Google Trends, the interest in BTC and other bitcoin-related queries is likely to hit a perfect 100 score before the week is over. Although it is not possible to explain the sudden bitcoin demand hike, the upcoming bitcoin blocks halving, which is less than a month, is a strong factor to consider. Bitcoin demand hikes most of the time when the halving event draws closer, as many investors expect to reap handsome profits from their holdings.
