#AppleCryptoUpdate Apple lifts 30% 'Apple tax', opening doors for cryptocurrency and NFT applications

In a groundbreaking change, Apple eased restrictions in its App Store policies following a federal court ruling, allowing developers to direct users to external payment systems. This change effectively ends Apple's controversial 30% commission on in-app purchases – commonly referred to as the 'Apple tax' – marking a significant victory for cryptocurrency and NFT applications.

The decision paves the way for developers to integrate direct cryptocurrency transactions in their iOS apps without routing payments through Apple. Apps can now handle payments in digital assets such as USDC, ETH, and SOL, enabling smoother user experiences and lowering costs for both developers and users.
