Apple has made a major shift in its App Store policy, allowing developers of cryptocurrency applications to direct users to external websites for transactions and payments. This move signals a significant development for the Bitcoin and crypto ecosystem, particularly after Apple’s legal defeat in the Epic Games case. The new policy allows developers to route users to external platforms for buying NFTs or conducting crypto payments, rather than using Apple’s internal payment system, which previously imposed a 30% commission that hindered such actions. This change could unlock greater usability for decentralized apps (DApps) within the iOS ecosystem, potentially expanding their user base and boosting market adoption rates for crypto-native applications. The move comes amidst an ongoing battle between U.S. regulators and tech giants over Web3 infrastructure.
