Crypto Wallets and Exchanges Require Permission to Access Google Play

Google Play is one of the main gateways for Web 3 product adoption and plays a crucial role in ensuring access for users worldwide. Unfortunately, the Google Play platform has been widely misused by unscrupulous individuals to profit through various means, including fraud, virus and malware infections, and even impersonating or counterfeiting popular DeFi app protocols.

Starting August 14, 2025, the Google Play Store has implemented stricter rules for publishing mobile apps on the Play Store, aiming to reduce fraud and user data theft. Therefore, every crypto exchange and wallet that will be displayed or published on the Play Store must have official permission and comply with the regulations of their respective countries.

There has been too many scam crypto exchanges and wallets that were allowed to go live on Google Play. It was fast damaging the platform.

I always wondered how scam crypto wallets went on Google Play. Even when reviews pointed to them being scam, they were still there.
