Trust Wallet, a crypto storage provider endorsed by Binance, faced a temporary removal from the Google Play Store on April 29. The incident led to a 5% drop in Trust Wallet’s token TWT as users were left puzzled by Google’s unexpected suspension of the app. Speculation arose that the issue might be related to a recent FBI circular cautioning against the use of non-KYC platforms and solutions.

In response to the confusion, crypto.news contacted Trust Wallet for clarification. A spokesperson explained that the removal was due to Google’s policies, and the company had swiftly taken action to address the situation. Despite the setback, Trust Wallet’s app was reinstated on the Google Play Store.

However, Trust Wallet’s security remains a concern. While the Google takedown was not directly linked to the FBI warning, the wallet provider has been dealing with security issues. In a recent advisory to Apple users, Trust Wallet warned of a zero-day vulnerability in the default iOS messenger app and recommended disabling iMessage until a fix is released. Additionally, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) disclosed an investigation into a security flaw in Trust Wallet’s iOS application, although it did not confirm a connection to iMessage.

Despite these challenges, Trust Wallet continues to address security concerns and recently announced a rebranding and interface update to enhance user experience. Stay updated with the latest news and developments in the cryptocurrency world on Global Crypto News.
