California ranks first in Google searches related to crypto per 100,000 and in the number of crypto ATMs. These positive factors offset the state's lack of crypto-focused legislation.
By comparison, New York has passed eight crypto-focused bills but ranks 33rd in terms of crypto ATM installations. New Jersey has the highest number of crypto ATM installations per 10,000 square miles and scores the third highest score for searches per 100,000 people. Texas and Florida also score well with respect to ATMs and search overall.
I don't understand what you're trying to say about California to lack of crypto-focused legislation because the last time I checked it was one of the states in the US to legalized Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies though not as legal tender.
With that been said, I don't know how you guys especially the OP does your stats about global Bitcoin adoption cause the US is currently not the leading country though it has the highest number of Bitcoin ATMs.
