Google started showing Ethereum cryptocurrency wallet balance when searching for an address

Google’s search platform has added a new feature that will be useful for cryptocurrency owners — from now on, you can enter the address of a crypto wallet in the search bar to find out the balance of your savings.

Well done, blockchain address is now available in Google Search! pic.twitter.com/7IuKv1gddR

The update became known thanks to a post by a Twitter user. This way, anyone can find out the balance of any wallet even easier than when using «scanners» (services that visualize information from the blockchain). Google data is available thanks to one of these platforms, Etherscan. However, as we found out, the function is not currently available in all countries (not yet in Ukraine). Below is a photo of how it looks like in the United States — users found out the balance of one of Vitaliy Buterin's wallets in this way.

The tech giant is actively developing in the field of blockchain technologies. Yesterday, Google representatives announced that in early 2023, the platform will allow customers to pay for cloud services in cryptocurrency. Google will cooperate with the Coinbase cryptocurrency exchange and explore the possibilities of using the Coinbase Prime service for storing and trading cryptocurrencies. «We're excited that Google Cloud has chosen Coinbase to bring Web3 technologies to a new group of users and provide powerful solutions for developers,» said Brian Armstrong, Coinbase co-founder and CEO.
