Web2 learns to listen to Web3
Google has revised its Play Store policy after criticism from crypto developers: the ban on wallets without licenses turned out to be too harsh, especially for non-custodial solutions. This case is not just a bureaucratic failure but a symptom of a deeper problem: Web2 platforms are trying to embed decentralization within centralized frameworks. Google's response shows that major players are beginning to acknowledge the specifics of blockchain, albeit belatedly. This is a step towards more flexible integration, where innovations will not be stifled by regulatory inertia. In the coming years, we will see Web2 and Web3 not competing, but learning to coexist — with compromises, but also with progress.
