#AppleCryptoUpdate Apple softens rules for crypto apps and NFTs on iOS 

As a result of the U.S. federal court decision on April 30, 2025, Apple is required to immediately change its App Store policy, opening new opportunities for crypto developers and iOS users. Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ruled that Apple violated the 2021 antitrust ruling by restricting developers from directing users to external payment methods and charging a commission of up to 30% for purchases made outside of apps. 

🔑 Key changes:

• Developers can now include buttons and links in apps that lead to external payment systems, including cryptocurrency wallets and NFT marketplaces, without the need for special permissions. 

• Apple can no longer charge a commission on purchases made outside of apps and has no right to track or require reporting on such transactions. 

• iOS users in the U.S. will be able to purchase NFTs and other digital assets directly through external sites, bypassing previous restrictions.
