Apple ordered to ease crypto app restrictions following court ruling

A U.S. federal judge has ruled that #Apple violated a prior antitrust injunction by continuing to restrict developers from directing users to alternative payment methods outside its App Store. The decision, handed down by Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, now forces Apple to allow apps—including crypto and #NFT -related platforms—to link to external payment options without fees or special permissions. The ruling immediately removes Apple's ability to impose commissions on off-app purchases and prohibits monitoring or tracking such transactions.
