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

Apple hasn't launched a token, but it has done something bigger.

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

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

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

- NFT freedom: buying from outside the app? No longer prohibited.

Add to that: Coinbase + Apple Pay, 274 million WalletConnect sessions, and a wave of decentralized applications looking to enhance mobile user experience.

Apple hasn't completely retreated - but it has given cryptocurrency developers the keys.
