#AppleCryptoUpdate Big Win for Crypto App Developers – Apple Must Allow External Payments
In a major legal turn, a U.S. district judge has ruled that Apple can no longer block crypto app developers from directing users to external payment options. This decision comes after Apple was found in willful violation of a 2021 injunction related to its antitrust battle with Epic Games.
Effective immediately, developers can now bypass Apple’s in-app purchase system—meaning no more mandatory commissions or restrictions when guiding users to off-app crypto transactions.
The ruling states that Apple’s interference with competition “will not be tolerated,” sending a strong signal to the tech world. For the crypto ecosystem, this is a step forward toward greater decentralization and freedom in app development.
Expect to see faster innovation and better user experiences as developers gain more control.
