Google Play Store Enforces License Requirement for Crypto Wallet Apps

The new policy mandates that software wallets secure a license before listing on the platform, targeting 15 jurisdictions including the EU and US, per The Rage.

Fact Check
Multiple sources, including Google's official support pages, confirm a new policy requiring licenses for crypto apps in specific regions. While the general statement is true, there is conflicting evidence regarding its scope. Several news outlets report the policy applies to non-custodial wallets, but one source provides a direct clarification stating non-custodial wallets are not in scope. The policy is being enforced, but its application may not cover all types of crypto wallets.
