Google Play opens the gateway to the world of cryptocurrencies and NFTS: a milestone for the app marketplace?

Von Krypto News Österreich

Google Play öffnet sich für Kryptowährungen und NFTs und steht damit im Gegensatz zur bisherigen krypto-skeptischen Haltung des Unternehmens. Diese Entscheidung könnte eine entscheidende Veränderung für den App-Marktplatz bedeuten. Im Vergleich dazu hat Apple eine strengere Haltung gegenüber Krypto-Apps beibehalten, jedoch NFT-basierte Spiele zugelassen. Früher waren Krypto-Mining-Apps und Apps mit riskanten Finanzdienstleistungen auf Google Play verboten. Nun erlaubt Google jedoch Entwicklern, Blockchain- und P2E-Apps anzubieten, die NFTs verkaufen oder zum Verdienen anbieten. Voraussetzung ist, dass es sich nicht um Glücksspiele handelt und die Entwickler eine Erklärung für den Google Play Store unterzeichnen. Ein Verkauf von Lootboxen oder das Bewerben von …

Google Play opens up to cryptocurrencies and NFTS and thus stands in contrast to the company's previous crypto-skeptical attitude. This decision could mean a decisive change for the app marketplace. In comparison, Apple has retained a stricter attitude towards crypto apps, but approved NFT-based games.

In the past, crypto mining apps and apps with risky financial services were prohibited on Google Play. However, Google now allows developers to offer blockchain and P2E apps that sell or offer NFTs. The prerequisite is that it is not gambling and that the developers sign an explanation for the Google Play Store. A sale of loot boxes or applying for profit promises are also not permitted. The ban on mining apps remains, but other mining apps for remote maintenance can continue to be obtained.

Apple recently pushed the Web3 social network app DAMUS to remove the Bitcoin tipping function. NFT-based games such as Axie Infinity and Stepn, on the other hand, were admitted, but they have to pay a fee of 30 % to Apple and the NFTs must not come from external sources. In comparison, a maximum of 15 % fees are incurred in the Google Play Store and external NFTs can be integrated. This positions Google Play more attractive for crypton users.

Other traditional web2 platforms are slowly opening the web3 offers. An example is Ubisoft that published the first blockchaing name despite the initial criticism. There are an increasing number of P2E games on Epic Games.

The opening of Google Play for cryptocurrencies and NFTS could trigger a large wave in the cryptosphere and pave the way for a complete integration of crypto into our everyday life.
