This move led to a 5% drop in Trust Wallet’s token, TWT, leaving users needing clarification about the reasons behind Google’s action. Speculations arose regarding a recent FBI circular cautioning against non-KYC platforms. 
However, Trust Wallet clarified that Google’s decision was based on their policies, not directly related to the FBI notice. 
After swift action, Trust Wallet’s app returned to the Google Play Store. Despite this, concerns about the app’s security linger. Earlier, Trust Wallet warned Apple users of a zero-day vulnerability and faced scrutiny from the National Institute of Standards and Technology for a security flaw in its iOS app. 
While no user data was compromised during previous security incidents, Trust Wallet continues to navigate challenges in ensuring a secure platform for its users.
