In 2021, the world of cryptocurrency took centre stage on Google's trending news list, with Dogecoin and Ethereum making a significant impact.

Both Dogecoin and Ethereum found themselves in the top ten most searched news on Google, a remarkable achievement considering that no cryptocurrency made it onto the list in 2020. Dogecoin secured fourth place, while Ethereum ranked tenth.

Google's 'Year in Search 2021' list also included Dogecoin and Ethereum among the top 10 most searched news, a testament to their popularity. Interestingly, Dogecoin even surpassed Bitcoin in terms of most searched keywords on Google.

The surge in Dogecoin's popularity can be attributed to high-profile endorsements from individuals like Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla. Ethereum's rise, on the other hand, can be attributed to a large number of NFT and DeFi projects built on its blockchain, with Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder and primary visionary behind Ethereum's development and growth, being the central figure in its ascent.

Google Trends listed Dogecoin as the fourth most trending news globally and separately in the United States in the news category for 2021. The query 'Ethereum Price' was the tenth most trending news in the Google Trends list for 2021, reflecting the public's keen interest in the cryptocurrency's price movements.

It's worth noting that Dogecoin and Ethereum were not the only cryptocurrencies to make Google's list of most searched terms in 2021. However, their significant progress from being absent from the list in 2020 to becoming top contenders in 2021 is a clear indication of the growing interest in and acceptance of cryptocurrencies.

Interestingly, while Dogecoin and Ethereum dominated the crypto-related news, traditional news topics such as Afghanistan, AMC Stock, and COVID-19 vaccine remained the top three most trending news topics in the Google Trends list for 2021.

In conclusion, 2021 was a year of significant progress for cryptocurrencies, with Dogecoin and Ethereum leading the charge. Their rise in popularity and their inclusion in Google's trending news list are indicative of a growing interest in and acceptance of cryptocurrencies as a legitimate form of currency and investment.
