Apple and the Liberation of the Crypto Ecosystem from ‘Apple Tax’

Apple's latest step in easing App Store rules marks an important moment for the crypto and digital technology world. After years of criticism for its high commission policies, Apple is now compelled to comply with a court ruling that forces it to allow external payments within apps. This means that crypto and NFT-based app developers can now provide direct links to payment methods outside of the App Store, without being cut by up to 30% by Apple.

For developers, this is a significant breakthrough. They can now sell NFTs, accept payments in cryptocurrencies like Ethereum or Solana, and develop decentralized financial features more freely. For users, this paves the way for a cheaper and more direct experience in purchasing digital assets.

However, Apple still imposes limitations—such as a ban on crypto mining and task-based token offerings—which shows that control is still maintained to a certain extent. Nevertheless, this decision is still regarded as a major victory for digital freedom and the future of the Web3 economy.

More than just a policy change, this is an acknowledgment that the dominance of closed platforms is no longer unassailable. The crypto world, with its spirit of decentralization, has finally succeeded in forcing one of the world's tech giants to open doors that have long been tightly locked.
