#AppleCryptoUpdate

Apple recently made significant changes to its app review guidelines, particularly those related to cryptocurrencies. Here’s what’s new ¹ ²:

- *Eased rules for cryptocurrency and non-fungible token applications*: Apple now allows developers to direct users to external purchasing methods, including non-fungible tokens, without imposing high fees or commissions. This step is considered "highly encouraging" for the cryptocurrency sector.

- *No more restrictions on external links*: Developers can now link their apps to external websites or payment systems without needing special permissions or approvals from Apple.

- *Greater flexibility for developers*: The updated guidelines provide developers with more freedom to design their apps and connect to external content without Apple interference.

- *Compliance with antitrust ruling*: These changes come after a U.S. district court ruled that Apple violated a court order in its antitrust battle with Epic Games, requiring Apple to allow developers to communicate with users and offer external purchasing options.

These changes are expected to benefit cryptocurrency app developers and users, providing greater flexibility and more opportunities for innovation.
