#AppleCryptoUpdate New in the World of Cryptocurrencies (Quietly)
Apple has not launched a token, but it has done 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 with 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 apps looking to enhance mobile user experience.
Apple hasn't completely retreated - but it has handed the keys to cryptocurrency developers.
