From May 2, 2025, Apple has **significantly relaxed its App Store rules**, regarding the distribution of applications in the United States involving cryptocurrency and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). This change comes after a recent court ruling in their antitrust dispute with Epic Games.

**Key Changes:**

* **Allowing external payment links**: Developers can now include buttons, external links, or other calls to action in their applications to guide users to external payment platforms to purchase cryptocurrency or NFTs.

* **No commission on external purchases**: Apple will no longer charge any commission or fees on purchases made by consumers outside of the application.

* **No tracking of external purchases**: Apple will not review, monitor, track, or require developers to report purchases or any other activities that occur outside the application.

* **Removal of link design restrictions**: Apple will not control how developers design or place links that guide users to external purchase options.
