#AppleCryptoUpdate
Apple has recently relaxed its rules regarding NFTs and cryptocurrency in its App Store, and this is a major change for mobile blockchain applications. Now, iOS apps in the United States can include buttons and links that direct you to external sites for NFT launches or token purchases—no longer constrained to using Apple's in-app payments.
This change may seem insignificant, but it opens a big door for native cryptocurrency applications to thrive on iPhones and iPads. Imagine trading NFTs on OpenSea, creating new tokens, or even staking—all without having to go through hurdles. Developers can create richer and smoother experiences, and users get real self-custody options directly on their devices.
Although Apple still has some safeguards in place (no in-app purchases for cryptocurrencies for now), this is a solid step towards broader mobile adoption. If more blockchain wallets, DeFi apps, and NFT marketplaces start appearing in the App Store, mainstream users could finally get a glimpse of the full potential of cryptocurrency—without ever leaving their favorite apps. #AppleCryptoUpdate
