Recently, a rumor in the crypto world has sparked widespread discussion. The rumor states that starting in October this year, the Google Play Store will ban unregistered non-custodial Wallets in countries and regions such as the United States and the United Kingdom. This news has raised significant attention and concern among industry insiders.

However, Google quickly responded to this by releasing a clarification statement through the social media platform X (formerly Twitter). The company made it clear that they do not intend to restrict the use of non-custodial crypto wallets. Google emphasized in the statement: 'Non-custodial wallets are not subject to the Google Play crypto asset exchange and software wallet policies.'

To eliminate any possible misunderstandings, Google also stated that it will update the relevant content in its Help Center to further clarify this position. This move aims to provide clearer guidance for users and developers, avoiding unnecessary panic caused by misinterpretation of policies.

This clarification announcement undoubtedly brings a sense of relief to the crypto assets community. Non-custodial wallets, as an important component of the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem, are undeniably significant. Google's statement reflects, to some extent, the tech giant's open attitude towards blockchain technology and crypto assets.

Nevertheless, users need to remain vigilant when using various applications related to crypto assets, pay attention to changes in related policies, and ensure the security of their assets. At the same time, this event also reminds us of the importance of the accuracy of information and timely clarification in the rapidly developing crypto world.
