In an attempt to discover the states that have taken the largest interests in the process of investing, online investment trading platform XTB analyzed Google search data across every state over the previous 12 months, and noted the number of searches for the topics of investing and cryptocurrency.

Here, it was observed that many states in the Midwest display an interest in diversifying their assets — including North Dakota.
