Market Sentiment Turns Cautious As India Protest Searches Surge 1,350%

Public data found no evidence of a broad crypto-funding wave during India’s Cockroach Janta Party protest escalation, even as protest searches rose about 1,350% from July 18 to July 22. According to NS3.AI, crypto-buying searches fell about 18%, estimated USDT/INR turnover dropped about 30%, and the USDT premium narrowed by roughly 44%. Four unofficial Solana tokens generated about $1.48 million in decentralized exchange volume, but there was no public evidence linking them to protest organisers.
