Google Plans Big Entry Into Web3 and Crypto

In a world where data is controlled by Big Tech and government, Web3 allows users to have more control over their data through decentralization. Moreover, the tech giant wants to establish leadership in crypto, blockchain, and Web3 by making Google Cloud the first choice of developers. The team will be led by James Tromans, a former executive at Citigroup. In fact, early efforts could include better management of blockchain nodes and software for exploring blockchain data.

Zavery wrote in an internal mail to employees, which was seen by CNBC:

“While the world is still early in its embrace of Web3, it is a market that is already demonstrating tremendous potential with many customers asking us to increase our support for Web3 and Crypto-related technologies.”

Google’s entry into the crypto, blockchain, and Web3 could revolutionize the growing innovative market. Moreover, it will help businesses and companies foray into the crypto and Web3 market, allow developers to build better and more secure products, and enable people to use these technologies confidently.

However, people interacting with the market considering the permissionless and trustless system that gives more freedom in the digital world, the entry of Google may be a cause of concern. But, the company has cleared its intention to not be part of the cryptocurrency industry directly.

Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai in January said of plans for a Digital Assets Team to explore NFTs and crypto payments. Now, the company is building a global Web3 team to capitalize on the opportunities.
