Apple Just Opened a New Door for Crypto and NFTs

Apple isn’t just about iPhones and AirPods anymore—it’s making moves that could reshape how we interact with crypto on iOS.

In a major shift, Apple is finally easing up on its long-standing restrictions. Now, developers can link users to external websites for purchases—yes, that includes NFTs and crypto-related content too. No more being locked into Apple’s in-app payments system for everything.

Why it matters?

More freedom for Web3 devs to offer real value, outside Apple’s walled garden.

No Apple tax on external payments.

Better user experience—fewer hoops to jump through to buy or trade NFTs, access crypto features, or engage with dApps.

This change didn’t come out of nowhere. It follows mounting pressure from antitrust rulings, pushing Apple to open up its ecosystem.

But a heads-up: devs still have to play by some Apple rules—no sneaky QR code unlocks or bypasses. And not every crypto function is greenlit yet.

Still, this is a big win for crypto adoption on iOS. If you’re building in Web3, now’s a good time to rethink what’s possible on Apple’s platform.
