Trump memecoins drive 'crypto' Google searches to 3-year high

US President Donald Trump recently entered the memecoins market, pushing the Google search interest for the word "crypto" to its highest level since 2021. On January 18th, Trump launched an official memecoins project just a few days before his inauguration. After the official Trump (TRUMP) token was released, First Lady Melania Trump also launched a self-named memecoins called Melania memecoins. Both of these cryptocurrencies performed well upon release but ultimately experienced a sharp decline.

Google Trends data shows that after Trump released memecoins, search interest for the word "crypto" surged. The term reached its peak since November 2021, when Bitcoin (BTC) hit a historical high of over $67,000.

Economists expect the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates in December, with two more cuts possible in 2026.

according to economists surveyed, Federal Reserve officials are expected to vote next week to cut interest rates again to guard against the rising risk of a sharp deterioration in the labor market. The median of respondents shows that the Fed is expected to implement two more 25 basis point rate cuts within the year starting from March 2026. Next week's rate cut will continue the momentum of rate cuts from the policy meetings in September and October. A considerable majority also expect Fed officials to once again reiterate the statement that "the downside risks to employment have increased in recent months," as they did in October. The Federal Reserve will announce its decision at 2 PM Washington time on December 10, followed by a press conference held by Chairman Jerome Powell.
