Despite the ban, Google has indicated that it will continue to permit mining apps that mine for cryptocurrency from outside of a device, such as cloud-based mining.

Non-Cloud-Based Cryptocurrency Mining Apps Banned from Play Store
Google has updated the developer policies for its Play Store to prohibit several categories of apps, targeting cryptocurrency mining applications and alongside many others.
Under the category of “Financial Instruments,” Google now states that it does not “allow apps that mine cryptocurrency on devices.” Despite such, Google states it will continue to “permit apps that remotely manage the mining cryptocurrency,” such as cloud-based mining services.
In March, Google also announced that it would launch a crackdown on advertising content relating to “Cryptocurrencies and related content (including but not limited to initial coin offerings, cryptocurrency exchanges, cryptocurrency wallets, and cryptocurrency trading advice).”
Do you think that Google will continue to intensify or begin to reverse it prohibitive policies regarding cryptocurrency content in the near future?
