To everyone’s bewilderment, live price charts of Bitcoin and other preferred cryptocurrencies on Google are missing. He said that frequent searchers of such queries as “Bitcoin price” or “Ethereum price” will have noticed that the charts part, which has been present since 2018, is missing.
This change was implemented several days ago, and it is still unknown whether this was a temporary issue or whether the tech giant decided to change this policy permanently. For now, no official statement from Google explains why the cryptocurrency price chart is no longer supported. Many believe that it could be a part of so-called trials that happen every now and then, which are performed by the Google algorithm. Maybe it has something to do with the coming US Elections.
Even though decoding charts for cryptocurrencies have been removed, stock and index graphs are still showcased in Google search results. Earlier, users could easily find streams containing the current prices of popular cryptocurrencies straight on the search page without opening other sites.
Google Finance as an Alternative, but Uncertainty Remains Over Crypto Price Charts
For cryptocurrency enthusiasts who still want to track prices, the information is available at Google Finance. However, the platform’s recent activity stream, as observed on October 7, indicates the possibility of technical glitches in the appearance of real-time data on cryptocurrency prices.
While Google continues to have no comment on the situation, crypto users can only wait and ask whether the charts will return and whether this is now the new standard for providing cryptocurrency information. For now, users may have to go to other applications or social networks to find out the latest information on the prices of cryptocurrencies.
Crypto enthusiasts hope that Google will decide to restore the functionality or that other alternatives will be the next options they have for fast crypto price redirections.
