Lebanon, Slovenia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are the top three countries that are most interested in Artificial Intelligence (AI) crypto, according to CoinGecko’s recent report.
Countries with major economic problems, like Nigeria, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan, have also ranked higher in the charts — while the U.S. was placed 33rd, the CoinGecko report stated.
The report measured the search popularity of 14 English search terms related to AI crypto between Nov. 30, 2022, and Feb. 16. A 100 indicates maximum popularity, while 50 indicates half — zero would mean there was not enough data to examine.
Lebanon scored 100 on almost all 14 search terms — collecting 1,200 points and ranking first on the list. The report acknowledged Lebanon’s ongoing economic crisis and insinuated that the situation might be a driving force behind the interest in AI crypto.
Slovenia, the United Arab Emirates, and Australia are placed second, third, and fourth by scoring 835, 566, and 486, respectively.
Nigeria, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Israel, and Bangladesh also ranked above the U.S. by ranking fifth, eighth, 17th, 31st, and 32nd, respectively. Meanwhile, Brazil ranked at the bottom of the list with just one point.
