Google has banned Ethereum (ETH) wallet and decentralized app (DApp) browser Metamask’s android client from its Play app store.

The MetaMask team took to Twitter on Dec. 26, where they announced that Google had suspended MetaMask’s android client from Google Play’s app store, claiming MetaMask was in violation of Google’s financial services policies.

The only issue I see with this is that google playstore has been the major channel through which most Metamast users get their apps. If care is not taken, a lot of folks might be misled into using unauthorized Metamast apps, which could result in loss of fund. It is better we should be careful at this point.
Also. there are so many suspicious apps on playstore, that google ought o remove, but it seems they are not so concerned about that.

No accurate information about google banned ethereum and metamask because eth price keep stable on higher and not get negative impact with ethereum going down with lower price, now wait when eth back to higher price.

Prices are rising due to coronavirus! Someone is not very good, but someone is good since the crypt is growing!

They just want to wash their hands on this kind of thing, If anything happens with this Apps or someone will get scam with some big amount of cash and the Apps has anything to do about it, Google play store will also be featured. because they got those apps from them. this is not just a random removal they think about getting rid of these apps in their play store with some consultations of their advisers.

Google like many institutional investors are simply afraid of the collapse of prices for cryptocurrencies and do not want to be involved in this. They looked at the validity of VISA and PayPal in relation to Libra. There's probably nothing wrong with that. This situation is inconvenient for new members of the crypto community. Let's see how the situation will develop in the future but I think soon these applications will reappear on the trading platform of Google.

There's no point in discussing this matter now, as Google already reinstated the said app in the store from what I've read in the news. It goes the same as Youtube reinstating those videos and channels that were affected due to the algorithm in deleting crypto-related videos that are potentially a scam to investors, because it seems like people are taking opportunity of it.

@OP Please kindly lock the thread now.

Some weird conspiracy banning of crypto stuff we can see around here. Firstly, Google and YouTube, now this. I hope my fav wallets (Atomic, Freewallet) won't be banned.

Crypto need to go through lot of changes, we will see lot of back and forth. Even countries are not able to take proper stance on Cryto. Hope things will be fine in coming years.

If they have violated something they should fix it in order to proceed with their plan without any problem. I would be love to use metamask using my android phone so I am hoping that whatever is the hurdle of their launch they can fix it.

I am sure that Google only wants a safe launching so it will be difficult for the hackers to breach their security or whatever reason they have right now in banning ETH wallet and metamask android client in their playstore.

It seems not just banned from Google, Apple apparently is also considering removing the DApps application from its App Store. I just read the news here, after typing the clue on Google "Metamask". very unfortunate  Cry

Google is very strict and if there are applications whose activities are considered unnatural or slightly suspicious then Google will not hesitate to ban it. and the poor activity of crypto so far is still considered a slightly dangerous activity.

Google Play and the Apple Store seem to be trying to limit the popularity of DApps, and Coinbase's Mobile DApp may well be the next victim of this sweeping campaign. It seems the government has partnered with Google and Apple to stamp out the popularity of DApps.

Google has long hated the growth of cryptocurrencies and things related to decentralization. But at this time, there is undoubtedly an impact from the government, as it's rare for both Google and Apple to take action at the same time.

Probably because the crypto is already a lot in the tire of Google ads and some have been reported using up their application because it was once scam when he himself was wrong. and end the delist from Google Play because they are screaming to be a scam. Whereas what I know by metamask we are more easily aware of which projects are at risk and not.

Google not ready to accept crypto in their platform. This is big company and should take everything under government law, no law not taken. The real reason is usually about law it self or they don't get benefits from it, same like You tube cases. Until now crypto is not tracked, so there's possibility crime will happen. Google doesn't want bad thing happen in their platform and reject/ banned is the way, but temporary I think.

when they violate, they must be removed from the Google store, it is normal. But do people find it strange that both YouTube and Google are boycotting what is crypto-related in their system? What is happening ? Is it true that many Americans are gradually boycotting crypto and don't want this market to grow anymore?
Anyone have an opinion on this? Lately there have been quite a lot of bad news about crypto and even bitcoin, I don't know what will happen in the future of 2020, im so confused.

This is possible. But I think they have always been screening apps admitted on Google Playstore. Not every app can enter there because it has to be checked for possible virus injections. Google has also a policy not to admit crypto mining apps. That is supposedly the reason why metamask is blocked.

Google has always been a very very "anti-crypto" company, as far as I remember even 3 years ago there was problems with putting up crypto related adwords, I just wanted to promote my website and did some marketing and the hardest company to work with was google for sure, thankfully I don't have my website anymore and sold it but it was so bad I literally warned the buyer of my website to be careful about google ads because if you do one thing wrong you will be gone and nobody really wants that.

It is difficult to survive in bitcoin world nowadays, youtubers getting their videos removed, developers getting their apps removed, adwords getting rejected, like all of a sudden google is on an open battle with the crypto world but nobody has any idea why.

after an error that occurred on youtube google again acting on the ETH wallet and metamask. I think what happened to this is not a mistake, and as it was reported in some news that Google did tighten searches on crypto, it was even rumored that the search for relevant keywords regarding crypto had been deactivated, so it was more difficult to find it in a program developed by Google. . as a suggestion, look for other alternatives to find eth wallet, or metamask.

If it is impossible to search for an alternative within Google playstore then we can leave that and search elsewhere. There are wallets that could be downloaded directly from their sites and not through Google playstore. It seems Google is trying to show some side or preference in terms of which to include or not in their stores, not on the basis of the demand but on their biases. This is not a good decision.

Google might also want to maintain the security and comfort of all their users, at least we must respect and not consider this as a reference to accompany opinions that Google seems to forbid anything about crypto, hopefully this case can be resolved well in the future, me too users of the Metamask wallet in the Chrome browser and that's not a problem at all, if indeed Google has a problem with crypto it should not only ban it in PlayStore but also forbid their plugins in the Chrome browser


Metamask has been in the Playstore for years, and not only on Playstore that they are bullying Cryptocurrency community but on Youtube as well, since metamask is very important for Ethereum holders, especially to those who transact in a centralized wallet, it will slow down the growth of decentralized exchange, and coins that rely on centralized exchanges that uses metamask.
I am friendly using myetherwallet than use Metamask application between on add on chrome browser or install with play store application, I think using myetherwallet faster by sending coin than using Metamask, not have big effect when google try to banned Metamask because still have many way for investor save their assets in exchange wallet.

Right now, I'm still quite confused on Google's stance on cryptocurrencies. Earlier this year, there are already rumors of Google Pay's support on cryptocurrencies. But now, things seems to start making a turn. The YouTube drama was said to be unintentional, but here we are again at another crypto-related censorship on one of their platforms.

I agree with your opinion, that's actually two in a row, they delete Crypto influencers Youtube Videos, now they take down metamask in Playstore, we can confirm that they are really against Cryptocurrency and they are showing it if we have a third one, could be advertisement about Crypto, they used to go against with.

For sure that there are big persons behind this, they are manipulating the price, doing anything for the Bitcoin to go down, I am not sure if they are creating this to FUD because they want to bag more or they are promoting their own coins/tokens for their own sake, we are really not sure about this but let's not too worry about it.

Price manipulation by blocking a few videos and metamask? Highly unlikely. This is a far-out idea. This is not to create FUD either as the incident was only involving a few videos and a single app. And Google does not have a coin or token to promote so there is no connection at all. They are not supporting any coin or token also.

Well according to the article it appears meta mask has violate the Google financial service policies, you don't expect those who violate policies to go unpunished, you make it sound like they where ban without a reason, i guess people should do things according to what is specified, and for the good of the many users of this app, i hope both parties can come to a resolution, after what is already happening with Youtube it won't be good to have Google do same.
I agree that metamask simply violated the policy because it is a business and everyone wants to sell their products profitably. The question is, what kind of rules did the metamask break? There is no reason to ban just like that or there is another benefit for Google.

This is quite related to the purging of crypto-related videos in Youtube.
I think it will be back shortly, unless they had seen such malicious software especially those softwares mining crypto in background of phone but from what they had stated "financial services", it seems an unlikely of a reason.

I hope that's the case we need the metamask on play store for a new users of Ethereum, but why now, it's doing great and proven to be nonmalicious, what is Google trying to prove, I think they want disruptions, in Cryptocurrency, they want to sow fear and FUDS  among us and this is not good for us.

I think Metamask really violated google's Financial terms, that's why Google rejected metamask's appeal about it! It means Metamask broke a big rule and they have to go under punishment! Stop blaming Google, guys! they are helping enough to the crypto world! If you look carefully, Google did not ban the Metamask chrome extension, they just banned the app from the playstore! So, it's clear that the fault is in Metamask, not Google's!

Metamask have been banned by google without have reason, always have moment without anything happen suddenly metamask banned from google and many other bad thing will happen with bitcoin, we can't understand why google look hate with bitcoin and altcoin as legal investment and why have many time want to banned bitcoin by google.
I think the possibility of metamask has a report about something bad so many report metamask to Google and make Google banned metamask, while I see other wallets can still be used on the Google platform.

Google is showing signs of authoritarian decisions of late. Youtube was involved in removing crypto-related videos and now Google Playstore is doing its part in blocking another crypto-related app. This is going to be bad for crypto but worse for them. They seem to show that they do not like cryptocurrency at all. Google is replaceable; they need to realize that. They will certainly be replaced soon.
Google's decision must be questioned because many people who use the application and also crypto users mostly use Google access like me. if this continues then access to use crypto will be increasingly difficult, this policy is actually disturbing and needs to be asked for clearer reasons

I don't think it's worth enough to trust their decisions, because this could be some bad moves for other group who spreads FUD. Hopefully there's something that could support the idea before it's too late, most users like me was very much affected. This fears my asset being enlisted with google browser add on, it might be not safe nowadays.

Google has been a leading business for so many years. It started as just an alternative but then it successfully made it to the top. There must be something that caused Google to become very successful like they are now. For that reason, they could somehow be trusted. However, there are policies that tend to be biased against new technologies such as the ones they stated as the reasons for blocking MetaMask. I cannot see any valid reason for doing so. They need to be open for rising technologies as they themselves was once a rising star also.
Right there is no official reason why Google is blocking Metamask, I think there must be a fundamental reason for that, and maybe also a misunderstanding that can be resolved by deliberation. basically of course google will be open to technological developments


Perhaps this is also a mistake like youtube, I believe that metamask is safe enough for anyone to use and there is no reason why google can block it. Hopefully in the next few days they will fix this mistake just like youtube did, also in my mind I was thinking that someone is trying to sabotage and stop the development of cryptocurrencies, but I believe that block will never succeed.

I think this is not like the case of Youtube. The case of Youtube was admittedly an erroneous decision on their part. They were man enough to admit it and reinstalled the videos back. The case of MetaMask is different. They decided to block Metamask for reasons that were not true. Mobile mining was the mentioned reason which Metamask was not involved. But despite this, Google rejected the appeal of Metamask. This thing is getting curious.

Looks like google has an eye on crypto.
We know Google is the biggest platform in the world, and of course with the removal of crypto content on their various platforms will certainly have a bad impact on the development of crypto going forward, and if we think about it, it looks like Google has come under pressure from a related party about banning crypto in various their platform, but we don't know who is pressing Google, surely there are certain reasons behind the ban?

Its not that bad they banned metamask APP from good stores. Atleast the reason they are pointing towards is about lack of security on that wallet. This will save lots of peoples hard earned money atleast from scammers.

That's really a good move for them, for sure that they are also receiving a lot of complaints from the users, it's good way that they are protecting their name as well as the security of the users, so there's no problem with that, for sure that they know what they are doing, so let's just respect it.

we really have to appreciate it, because every decision is definitely not approved in full by the community. but unfortunately, such a good platform must be eliminated because its use requires the platform to make it easier. but as long as the decision is made we must respect it

They are banning it because of the policy that they do not want mining on mobile, is metamask a miner, I doubt it is,  and why now metamask has been in Playstore ever since, I don't know why Google is in the crackdown now, they cannot crack down something that is unstoppable, Cryptocurrency is the future.

I think google is already bothered in scam and fraud cases so they do to banned eth wallet and metamask. They are big institution and company so they don't want to be involved on that kind of issues about crypto. In my own opinion that is the reason why youtube also remove all videos and blog that connected to crypto.

I think its a bad sign for cryptocurrency industry, first its Youtube now its Playstore as we all know that Google has own these two important services. It seems that they are trying to slow down the cryptocurrency advances in some other ways by cutting its vital access to the traditional and useful services like Youtube and Playstore im not sure if how long it will be implemented, But i check today in Playstore it seems other ETH wallet application and most of cryptocurrency wallet app was still downloadable on Playstore. if Google was after on all crypto related apps it should be all that has affected by now but its not. I think it's only a mistake on the Google reviewers side. let's hope it was only a mistake and not intended.

It's mind boggling really why they have done this.

But honestly, shouldn't be too surprising given the fact that historically, google's attitude towards these types of issues aren't that positive. When you look at the ad bans against crypto you sort of realize that google doesn't have the most positive outlook for cryptos whatsoever.

They could be banning so many faucets and scam apps out there on their play store right now, but no. They choose to ban something that is completely innocent instead.

This is the affect of too many scam project that use ethereum platform . Google do his move to reduce the victim of too many scam project right now. For me this is good but it will give negative affect in the market of ETH and expect decrease of the price that will happen any time soon.
this is indeed negative news which in my opinion is quite surprising. or too much if Google does that. Does Google not see the potential of the crypto market in the future? like Facebook which once blocked crypto advertising. and finally, they want and are interested in making their crypto. this should not have happened to ethereum.

Oops, I do think that Google has every reason to take such decision since it is based on Google's financial policy and not security issue. There are tons of other wallets to get dirty with but I would recommend switching to atomic wallet if anyone looking to download one. Perhaps, atomicwallet is a multi-asset non-custodian wallet serving many purpose and offering decentralized staking service, among others is the decentralized exchanged via atomic wallet functionality. Search through Google Play store for it or take a trip to https://atomicwallet.io

But how about the metamask under their chrome browser? I can still access the wallet on the chrome?
It seems this issue is only for playstore?

Don't worry the Metamask wallet in the Chrome browser not a problem at all, Until now I also still use it
It is only for playstore, but still this is bad news for the crypto community

Metamask extension in chrome will be fine even if they banned it from the chrome store you could simply download it from their own official website and the chrome store for extension is bloated with garbage extensions anyway even there are some that trying to disguise as metamask wallet but different thing if it's banned from playstore which where most of the people are downloading it from. However, there are many alternatives that are safe so I guess it'll be fine.

Perhaps this is also a mistake like youtube, I believe that metamask is safe enough for anyone to use and there is no reason why google can block it. Hopefully in the next few days they will fix this mistake just like youtube did, also in my mind I was thinking that someone is trying to sabotage and stop the development of cryptocurrencies, but I believe that block will never succeed.

It's not really a big deal since we can still access metamask on various browsers including Google Chrome. This shouldn't stir up any negativity, they already stated their reason for the ban. On PC I still access metamask on Chrome and brave, while on mobile I access it on Firefox.
It's their right to make opinions if they are seeing negative things with this apps. Like you, we should move forward since it's only being ba need from Google app store but with desktop it's still working normally. People who are using metamask and eth wallet from apps store can still proceed and use the desktop and continue enjoying the service of this wallets.

Google is showing signs of authoritarian decisions of late. Youtube was involved in removing crypto-related videos and now Google Playstore is doing its part in blocking another crypto-related app. This is going to be bad for crypto but worse for them. They seem to show that they do not like cryptocurrency at all. Google is replaceable; they need to realize that. They will certainly be replaced soon.
Google's decision must be questioned because many people who use the application and also crypto users mostly use Google access like me. if this continues then access to use crypto will be increasingly difficult, this policy is actually disturbing and needs to be asked for clearer reasons

I don't think it's worth enough to trust their decisions, because this could be some bad moves for other group who spreads FUD. Hopefully there's something that could support the idea before it's too late, most users like me was very much affected. This fears my asset being enlisted with google browser add on, it might be not safe nowadays.

Google has been a leading business for so many years. It started as just an alternative but then it successfully made it to the top. There must be something that caused Google to become very successful like they are now. For that reason, they could somehow be trusted. However, there are policies that tend to be biased against new technologies such as the ones they stated as the reasons for blocking MetaMask. I cannot see any valid reason for doing so. They need to be open for rising technologies as they themselves was once a rising star also.

I think google base companies like youtube or google playstore have been targeting crypto, because of youtube has been removed hundreds of videos related crypto without any notices and now google playstore banned one of best ETH wallet metamask really we do not know what is the reason behind it to take an action like that from google. maybe the Google artificial intelligence system think crypto is not safe?

I think Google is not entirely against cryptocurrency, more like they're making a safe steps by doing thing this. And based on the article, Google claiming metamask due to violation of google's financial services policies. Even the problem with youtube which was deleting crypto related videos, it was because of mistake on their part.

I don't know if this a sign of Google showing something against cryptocurrenty or not, but if it does proven that metamask really did broke their policies, nothing could be done though.

This is ridiculous.

Metamask is one of the most useful extensions out there, and its whole purpose is to protect consumers from scams and all. I'm not sure what other features the app version has ommitted or included but I doubt that it's anything malicious at all.

Clearly a targeted attack against crypto IMHO. Not cool.

These issues might continue to expand and will cause some implications on some people of this industry. But as long as we can still use metamask in Chrome and other browsers, it could still thrive. Though the removal of the app seems to be a cocky move for me. If somehow even the plugins will be affected of these issues, other browsers might follow or remain the same, causing another rivalry in the browser preferences.

Maybe the ban on YouTube is because of the rampant fraud or ponzi schemes that are carried out by crypto YouTubers so that YouTube forbids it.
It was a wrong call for them and they've admitted it already.
This kind of removal of certain apps on Google shows how powerful they could be and stop something that starts to ripen. I think the same act as facebook did for removing those crypto related ads and now they've turned into it and allowed it again because they'll be having the Libra project so this could be the same as that and google is setting things a little by little.

Google has banned Ethereum (ETH) wallet and decentralized app (DApp) browser Metamask’s android client from its Play app store.

The MetaMask team took to Twitter on Dec. 26, where they announced that Google had suspended MetaMask’s android client from Google Play’s app store, claiming MetaMask was in violation of Google’s financial services policies.

Not sure why this is happening all of a sudden. I have heard that Youtube is removing videos related to ICOs and other crypto projects. YouTube is also owned by google and I guess all these are connected and has something to do with them going against crypto currencies. At least they know why they got removed from play store. I guess google updated their playstore terms of service and meta mask ended up breaking google plays financial service policy. Hope everything gets resolved soon.

Youtube admitted that they removed crypto related contents as a mistake,is this same happening here as well?

I don't think Meta mask has any risk to the users so why did the made this to happen?
hack cases that occur lately involve many erc-20 tokens, and metamask is a favorite place to access tokens safely.

I think what Google is doing is still in the corridor of prevention policies. The level of crypto usage through smartphone applications is so high that they also don't want to face risks that could have an impact on reputation, this might not be related to what happened with YouTube yesterday.

If an app is good and people give it one star I report them.

Yes, I think the point you said is true and I agree with that. in my opinion to avoid things that are undesirable to each other then every company must look for other alternatives so there are no negative things that are sustainable. I have just heard about the dispute between YouTube and Crypto, if this continues for a long time, it might have a negative impact, especially on users and the Crypto industry.

well its their store so they can decide whatever they want to. but since they approved it, it means it passed to the evaluation they did before they list it. but the reason as estated was that they are accusing metamask of mining remotely?

this is something they know nothing really which is why they just ban it all including the shutting down of the videos in youtube. they then try to examine all and study things and then come back to restore the videos and probably the metamask later as well. they have forgot to say sorry though.

Here is the Google's financial services policies https://play.google.com/about/restricted-content/financial-services/

As far as I think it's because their App didn't kept a warning which warned users that day are doing such things at their own responsibility and the maker doesn't knows that if Cryptocurrencies are legal in their country or not. Maybe this is the only reason because google says it permits app that remotely manage mining of Cryptocurrencies. I don't think there is any connection with that YouTube thing that happened.
Apparently, Google is not against cryptocurrency, but is taking certain steps in that direction to avoid problems in those countries where Google officially operates.  We know that in many countries cryptocurrency is not recognized as legal and therefore this situation can create certain problems for google.  Based on this, a situation may occur where Google avoids the problem.  But I don’t understand why, then, Google allows you to place various kinds of Android applications on the Play Market that use different cryptocurrencies, sometimes even without enough authority among cryptocurrency users.  Perhaps there is some corporate interest here and apparently the Google administration should conduct certain negotiations with the Ethereum team.

I think there are also many victims of fraud because basically it was their fault for not tracing the project, now any decision taken by Google or YouTube will always be controversial, if not like this then there will be many other victims of fraud, if like this they are activists crypto will be harmed too.

Very surprising, but the decision taken by Google is reasonable if the aim is to protect customers. it's just that makes me wonder, why should metamask? We see that in PlayStore there are still many crypto wallets. Metamask makes a browser with wallet eth features. Opera also has the same features but why is opera still safe? Really Google's policy must be questioned again. Honestly, I installed Metamask on my phone, so I was surprised after reading this news.

Maybe they are just playing safe for whatever may possibly happen to its customers. They should review if the move is really on their advantage or will it be affecting a large user base without any solid foundation? Have they conducted thorough investigation why such move?

There are already questions raised against these steps that are disadvantageous to cryptocurrency. But at the end of the day, Google is its own company that sets its own rules. Therefore, it will implement whatever rule or policy it has. If in the future it decides to change its rule a little to accommodate the growing demand for crypto-related videos or applications, for as long as these videos and applications are not scams, it may do so. And I hope it is the exact way Google will decide to take.

we can not blame them completely, they wanted to protect their users from the crypto scammer. they are so many reports happening about someone hacking their asset from their mobile wallet, reports from users made them think it should be better to ban crypto-related app on their playstore because it can protect their users from hacker or scammer.
