Apple Crypto Shift: Web3 Finally Gets the Green Light

On May 2, Apple officially loosened its grip on in-app payments—now letting iOS developers redirect users to external platforms, including crypto wallets, NFT markets, and DeFi services. This follows increasing antitrust pressure and could be a pivotal moment for mainstream crypto adoption.

For years, Apple’s “walled garden” limited blockchain-based apps from offering real utility. But now, creators can integrate Web3 features without paying Apple’s 30% cut or facing rejection for crypto integrations.

The impact? Massive. Expect a wave of innovation from NFT platforms, decentralized finance tools, token-gated content, and digital identity apps—all optimized for iOS.

Apple didn’t just change policy—it opened the door to a decentralized layer across a billion devices.

What’s next? Could this be the inflection point that brings Web3 to the average iPhone user?

What crypto-powered experiences do you think will gain the most from Apple’s policy shift?
