Mary Meeker’s 2018 Internet Trends Report Shows Interest in Crypto ‘Exploding’

The newly released Internet Trends report, compiled each year by venture capitalist Mary Meeker, puts a Bitcoin course as a top class at Princeton.

Former Wall Street analyst Mary Meeker’s well-known annual Internet Trends report for 2018, published May 30, shows interest in cryptocurrency “exploding” since January of last year. The report also highlights that a course on Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrency technologies made it into the top 10 most popular university classes in 2017.

According to the report, “Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Technologies” was one of the top courses of 2017 at Princeton University.

The Internet Trends report, which was compiled by with help from Kleiner Perkins Partners, Hillhouse Capital, writes that it “use[s] data to tell stories of business-related trends we focus on. We hope others take the ideas, build on them & make them better.”

Meeker’s report also shows that interest in cryptocurrency is increasing, using the growth of crypto exchange and wallet Coinbase users to demonstrate this trend.
