Apple opens new horizons in the world of cryptocurrencies (quietly)

Apple did not launch a token, but it did something bigger.

After years of cautious steps - banning mining, app store restrictions, and preventing cryptocurrency payments - things have turned around. In May 2025:

- App Store rules changed: Developers can now link to external cryptocurrency payments and NFT platforms.

- Apple Pay x Bitcoin: Through Mesh, users can now pay using BTC, and merchants receive stablecoins.
