As a long-term crypto investor with experience in using various wallets, I can’t help but feel a mix of relief and unease after the temporary removal of Trust Wallet from the Google Play Store. Relief because it was quickly restored, and unease due to the ongoing concerns about its security.
A crypto wallet service approved by Binance and Trust, known as Trust Wallet, experienced a brief absence from the Google Play Store on April 29, only to reappear again later.
As a researcher, I’m thrilled to report that the Android iteration of our application has been restored on the Google Play Store. Let’s press forward with our development efforts and delve deeper into charts while keeping in touch with the real world by periodically engaging with it. #BUIDLonward

The action taken by Google resulted in a 5% decrease in Trust Wallet’s TWT token. Users are seeking explanations for this development, with some pointing to a recent FBI warning against using non-Know Your Customer (KYC) platforms as a possible cause.
As an analyst, I’ve noticed some buzz surrounding the connection between the recent incident and the FBI’s warning about non-Know Your Customer (KYC) platforms. However, Trust Wallet has made it clear that Google’s decision was not a direct response to the FBI notice, but rather driven by their own policies.
Following quick resolution, Trust Wallet’s app reappeared on Google Play. Nevertheless, doubts about the app’s safety persist. Previously, Trust Wallet alerted iPhone users of an unpatched vulnerability and faced criticism from the National Institute of Standards and Technology over a security issue in its iOS application.
As a crypto investor using Trust Wallet, I understand that there have been past security incidents where no user data was breached. However, I also acknowledge that the team at Trust Wallet faces ongoing challenges in maintaining a secure platform for us all. They are working diligently to address these issues and ensure the safety of our investments.
