Recent research by cryptogambling.tv, a virtual currency gambling platform, has identified Slovenia as the most crypto-focused nation in Europe. The study evaluated the highest number of internet searches related to cryptocurrency terms and ranked them based on population size.
Slovenia claimed the top spot with approximately 100,000 monthly searches, averaging 4,789 searches per 100,000 people. The top five also included Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Finland, and Turkey.
Slovenia stands out due to initiatives like the non-profit Blockchain Alliance Europe and crypto infrastructure provider GoCrypto. The country also has numerous businesses accepting bitcoin as payment.
Interestingly, some countries in the top ten have enforced stricter crypto regulations. For instance, the Netherlands taxes unrealized gains from cryptocurrencies. However, such laws might pique investor interest, suggesting that even perceived unfriendly crypto regulations can generate curiosity.
