$BTC Apple has announced a new update to its policies regarding iOS applications, allowing developers to direct users to external purchase platforms, including content related to cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

This move is seen as a significant strategic shift in Apple's stance on the world of digital assets, after years of strict restrictions it imposed on this type of applications.

This update comes amid increasing legal and regulatory pressures on Apple, particularly regarding antitrust issues and opening its ecosystem to broader competition.

This change is expected to pave the way for the development of innovative financial applications based on cryptocurrencies, which could contribute to enhancing the spread and use of Bitcoin in everyday transactions within apps.

This step is a great opportunity for developers of digital wallets, trading platforms, and blockchain-based payment applications, who have faced significant challenges in integrating Bitcoin into the iOS environment. Additionally, removing the barriers imposed on purchases may facilitate users' entry into the world of Web3 through their smart devices.

In light of this openness, will Apple become a pivotal player in the future of digital payments?
