📱 Google had to revise its Play Store policy after trying to restrict crypto wallets without distinguishing between custodial and non-custodial. This episode illustrates well the frictions between Web2 and Web3: on one side, centralized giants with their strict rules, on the other, decentralized technologies that evolve faster than regulation.
👉 My opinion: this reactivity from Google is positive, as it shows that even the behemoths of Web2 no longer have the luxury of ignoring blockchain. They must adapt, sometimes under pressure, to remain relevant. But it also reveals that the road to massive adoption will be paved with adjustments, often dictated by the tension between regulatory compliance and decentralized innovation.
💬 For me, Web2 and Web3 will gradually hybridize: centralized platforms will continue to serve as gateways for adoption, but the real value will remain in decentralized solutions.
