Changes in Apple's Policies Regarding Crypto and NFTs

After a court ruling in the United States against Apple in the antitrust case with Epic Games, the company has eased restrictions on cryptocurrency and NFT apps. 

Key changes:

• Allowing external links: App developers can now direct users to payment options outside of Apple's system without imposing additional fees. 

• Expanding NFT support: Apps can now support the buying and selling of NFTs through secondary markets. 

• Continued restrictions: Apple still prohibits cryptocurrency mining and offering token rewards within apps.

These changes are considered a positive step for crypto app developers and the Web3 community, as they provide greater flexibility in delivering services to users.
