🔥【#苹果放宽加密规则 Ultimate Game: Will the iOS Payment Empire Ignite the '$USDC Trillion Scenario'?】

📱 Policy Nuclear Explosion Point:

Apple announces the allowance of 'non-custodial cryptocurrency wallets' on the App Store and supports direct exchange between fiat currency and cryptocurrency. Meanwhile, iOS 18 will integrate Web3 payment SDK, opening NFC proximity payment permissions for compliant stablecoins like USDC for the first time!

Triple Fragmentation of Cryptocurrency Payments

1️⃣ Ecological Dimension Reduction Strike:

- 1.7 billion active iPhones worldwide can directly use USDC payments through Apple Pay, covering millions of merchants like Starbucks and Uber, theoretically breaking the daily transaction ceiling to $20 billion (Visa's global average daily transaction volume is $42 billion).

- Case Study: After developers use Apple CryptoKit, the USDC payment transaction fee is only 0.25% (traditional credit cards average 1.5%~3%).

2️⃣ Compliance Moat:

- Apple requires that stablecoins integrated must pass 'dual-layer auditing' (reserves + smart contracts), making USDC the biggest winner (has obtained SOC 2 certification), while USDT, DAI, etc., may be excluded.

- Data: After the new regulation was released, USDC on-chain transfer volume surged by 240%, and CEX price differences compressed to 0.01%.

3️⃣ Developer Exodus:

- Xcode adds 'Cryptocurrency Payment Module', allowing in-app integration of USDC settlement functions, with over 100,000 applications expected to integrate within 3 months, forming a decentralized version of 'Apple Pay'.

Dark Challenges: The Giants' 'Compliance Trap'

⚠️ Apple Tax 2.0:

- Web3 transactions need to pay a 'Apple Tax' of 15%~30% (through the IAP system), and the actual yield of DeFi protocols may be swallowed.

- Privacy Paradox: Although supporting cryptocurrency payments, Apple requires KYC data to be fully hosted on iCloud, triggering resistance from 'decentralized' believers.

💥 Ultimate Simulation:

If Apple successfully builds a 'Web2.5 Payment Layer', USDC's market cap may surpass $200 billion by 2025 (current $55 billion), but the native spirit of cryptocurrency may become a subsidiary of the iOS ecosystem.

When Cook holds USDC to open Starbucks, is this the 'Holy Grail Moment' of cryptocurrency payments or the prologue of 'centralized absorption'?
