#CryptoIntegration Google Play’s updated policy, effective October 29, 2025, initially raised concerns by requiring crypto wallet developers in 15 jurisdictions, including the US and EU, to obtain licenses like FinCEN MSB or MiCA CASP. Following backlash, Google clarified that non-custodial wallets, where users control their private keys, are exempt from these requirements. Custodial wallets, however, must comply with local financial regulations, ensuring transparency and consumer protection. Non-compliance may lead to app removal in affected regions. The policy aligns with global regulatory trends but could burden smaller developers. Users may face fewer custodial wallet options, while non-custodial wallets like MetaMask remain unaffected, preserving decentralized access.
