Google temporarily deleted Trust Wallet from their marketplace at the end of April. A representative for the cryptocurrency wallet stated that Google’s policies were the reason for the withdrawal, noting that an appeal had been filed weeks prior to Google removing the app.

The removal was allegedly related to an FBI circular that advised against utilizing non-KYC platforms and solutions. Nevertheless, the spokesperson’s information did not mention the FBI warning as a factor in Google’s decision to withdraw the wallet.
