Recently, Google users noticed that the live price charts for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are no longer appearing in search results. Previously, when users searched for terms like “Bitcoin price” or “Ethereum price,” they were shown real-time charts directly in the search results. However, this feature has suddenly disappeared, leaving many crypto enthusiasts and investors puzzled.
Bitcoin and Ethereum Investors Left in Confusion
Since 2018, Google has integrated crypto price charts into its search results, allowing users to view live data for popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) without needing to visit a specific website. Now, these charts are missing, and with no official statement from Google, it remains unclear whether this is a temporary technical issue or a more permanent change.
The crypto community has reacted with skepticism, discussing on social media and forums whether a bigger strategy might be at play. Some speculate that this could signal a shift in how Google views cryptocurrencies. For example, one user on SoSoValue stated, “This could be a sign that Bitcoin is becoming too important to be ignored. Google, being a highly digitized company, might be showing that cryptocurrencies conflict with their corporate interests.”
Which Cryptos Are Affected?

The removal of live price charts affects not only Bitcoin but also other major tokens like Ethereum and Solana. Interestingly, price charts for cryptocurrencies like XRP, Dogecoin (DOGE), and Binance Coin (BNB) are still visible in search results. This discrepancy has led some to wonder whether Google is selectively targeting certain cryptocurrencies. On X, one user commented, “We need to question this move until we get a clear answer. Journalists and former Google employees should lead the charge on this.”
Other cryptocurrencies, such as Stellar (XLM) and Tron (TRX), continue to display live price charts, while the popular meme coin Shiba Inu is no longer showing any price data. Along with these changes in the search results, users have reported similar issues on Google Finance, where live crypto data has also gone missing.
Speculation Grows Around Google’s Intentions
Notably, Bitcoin’s price hasn’t been updated since October 7, leading some to speculate that this might be a technical glitch. However, crypto investors are also considering the possibility that Google is taking steps to control the flow of information about cryptocurrencies. Some market analysts suggest that this could be part of a broader effort to suppress the crypto markets. One user on X, going by Bitcoin Therapist, suggested that Google might be removing the price charts to slow down Bitcoin’s bull run.
Whether this is a temporary issue or a deliberate move by Google, the crypto community remains on edge. As speculation continues to swirl, Bitcoin and Ethereum investors will be watching closely for any updates.
