• Google has removed live cryptocurrency price charts from search results
• The change has been in effect for several days, but Google has not issued an official statement explaining the removal
• Stock and index graphs remain visible in the search results, but cryptocurrency price charts that showed popular rates are no longer displayed
Google has recently removed live price charts for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum from its search results. This change has been in effect for several days, but it’s unclear if it’s temporary or permanent. Google has not provided an official statement explaining this move.
Background
Previously, Google search offered charts displaying current rates for popular cryptocurrencies. Users could easily check prices anytime.
While crypto charts are gone, stock and index graphs remain visible. This suggests the removal may be specifically targeting cryptocurrencies.
Google Finance still provides crypto prices, but data is not updated often. The latest capture was on October 7th. So there seem to be issues getting live crypto rates.
Reaction
Cryptocurrency enthusiasts are eager to see if Google will restore the price charts. For now, they’ll need to rely on other platforms for frequent price updates.
Some speculate this could be an experiment before the US election. Or it may end up being permanent.
Conclusion
The disappearance of crypto price charts on Google is a notable change. But the reasoning and permanence remains unclear. Those in the crypto community hope Google will bring them back or explain the removal. For the latest prices, they’ll need to temporarily use alternative sources.
