Bitcoin benefiting from the Iran crisis has captured the imagination of internet users worldwide, with its Google search popularity for ‘Bitcoin Iran’ up almost 5,000%.

According to data from Google Trends, the search term “Bitcoin Iran” surged 4,450% in the seven days to Jan. 8.

Nigeria topped the list for both terms’ most frequent country of origin. Canada, Singapore and the United States also generated significant interest for “Bitcoin Iran.”

The figures come as Bitcoin continues to make significant price advances, with weekly gains currently topping 15%. Commentators immediately began attributing the performance to events in Iran, arguing geopolitical instability tends to produce price rises.

“Selling the narrative”

Others were less convinced, claiming the connection was, in fact, a fictional narrative that could nonetheless become a self-fulfilling prophecy as it went mainstream.

Su Zhu, CEO at Three Arrows Capital, highlighted an article in Nikkei Asian Review as proof non-crypto sources were buying into the idea.

The publication claimed Iran was “triggering a surge in cryptocurrencies.” A tweet read:

“Free from state interference or geopolitical risk, #cryptocurrencies become ‘digital gold’ amid rising #Iran tensions.”

The article conversely quoted an exchange source who poured cold water on the idea.

“For Bitcoin, though, investors feel they can safely put a portion of their funds into it and hold it for the longer term without having to worry about any reversion to a mean, as it is not inherently linked to U.S.-Iran tensions,” Sheel Kohli, chief marketing officer at AAX said.

As Cointelegraph reported, search activity around Bitcoin began gaining momentum late last year. In December, it was another topic, “Bitcoin halving,” which began turning heads.

Last week, reports emerged of Bitcoin trading at a giant premium in Iran, with a single coin worth $24,000 according to the so-called “official” rial exchange rate. In reality, as sources noted, such a rate is all but fictional given its value compared to the ubiquitous black market.
