#AppleCryptoUpdate Apple Just Unlocked the Next Crypto Door (Quietly)

Apple didn’t launch a token. But they did something bigger.

After years of cautious steps — bans on mining, App Store restrictions, no crypto payments — the tide has turned. In May 2025:

– App Store rules changed: devs can now link to external crypto payments & NFT platforms.

– Apple Pay x Bitcoin: via Mesh, users can now pay with BTC, merchants get stablecoins.

– NFT freedom: buying outside the app? No longer blocked.

Add to that: Coinbase + Apple Pay, 274M WalletConnect sessions, and a wave of dApps eyeing mobile UX.

Apple didn’t go full degen — but they just gave crypto devs the keys.

The iPhone is now a Web3 onramp.
