Leading search engine Google has removed live price charts for Bitcoin and Ethereum from its search results.
Because live charts in search results for some cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) are not accessible. While there is no official statement from Google on this issue yet, it remains unclear whether this is a temporary problem or permanent.
While there are no live charts for BTC and ETH on Google, charts for the prices of altcoins such as XRP, BNB or Dogecoin (DOGE) can be accessed.
Additionally, chart data for Cardano (ADA) and Tron (TRX) remain on the Google search page, while data for Avalanche (AVAX) and popular memecoin Shiba Inu have been removed.
While charts for Bitcoin and some cryptocurrencies are not included in the search results, charts for stocks and indices can be accessed.
Interestingly, although the charts have been removed from search results, cryptocurrency price data is still available via Google Finance. However, it is noteworthy that cryptocurrency data on this platform was last updated on October 7.
Google, which first introduced the charting feature in 2018, initially opened this feature to a limited number of cryptocurrencies. However, it was later expanded and updated to include a large number of cryptocurrencies.
While speculations have been mounting as to why Google removed price charts for BTC and other cryptocurrencies, the crypto community is saying that the sudden removal of the charts is strange.
