Google asks appeals court to reverse Epic Games’ antitrust case win

November 29, 2024 Coin Telegraph

antitrust

Google seeks to overturn Epic Games’ earlier court victory that would see the tech giant forced to open its app store to third-party marketplaces and payments.

Google asked a United States appeals court to toss a lower court’s ruling in Epic Games’ antitrust suit that would force it to allow third-party app stores and payment solutions through its Play Store marketplace.

The lower court decision would open Google’s app store and apps to other payment systems, including crypto-supporting ones.

Google argued in a 110-page filing to the Ninth Circuit Appeals Court on Nov. 27 that the California federal court decision would “directly undercut Google’s efforts to compete against Apple and the iPhone.”

Memecoin search interest and market performance steals spotlight from Bitcoin

October 24, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Adoption

Memecoins have surged in popularity, outpacing Bitcoin in both search interest and market gains, but how long the trend will last is unclear.

Memecoins are dominating the news cycle over their significant volatility and growing influence in the crypto ecosystem.

Memecoin search interest has been rising, while search volume for the term “Bitcoin” on Google has dropped to one-year lows. On a scale of 0 to 100, “Bitcoin” is currently at 33, while search volumes for “memecoin” are at 77.

Google Trends uses an index-like approach to represent search volume and not exact figures. Carlos Guzman, research analyst at cryptocurrency market maker GSR, told Cointelegraph this means volume is shown on a relative basis “where the index value is the highest search volume reached in the period selected.”

Scammers promote fake Uniswap L2 on Google amid Unichain hype

October 15, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Coin Telegraph

Google mistakenly promoted a fake version of the Unichain website that spammed users with requests to drain their wallets.

As the buzz around crypto exchange Uniswap’s new Ethereum layer 2 builds, scammers have decided to take advantage of the situation to promote a fake website on Google that claims to promote the network.

The website, originally located at unlchalindefi[.]com, claimed to be the official site for Uniswap’s Unichain network. But in reality, it did not offer a new network with user-friendly apps.

Instead, it stole all of the user’s cryptocurrency and transferred it to the site’s developers, who were not affiliated with Uniswap at all, according to warnings presented in the Web3 wallet MetaMask.
