Apple has recently been forced to relax restrictions on cryptocurrency applications in the US App Store due to a court ruling, allowing developers to guide users to use external payment methods without having to pay commissions. This move is seen as a significant breakthrough for the cryptocurrency industry. This adjustment directly reduces operational costs for developers, especially in the NFT market, crypto games, and DeFi applications, which are likely to benefit significantly and may stimulate innovation and user growth for mobile crypto products. For instance, after reducing transaction friction, on-chain transaction volume and user participation are expected to increase.

However, while Apple has updated its review guidelines, its wording has been criticized as "passively aggressive," suggesting that it may maintain control through indirect means such as the review process, and developers need to be wary of compliance risks. In addition, the new regulations still retain a ban on ICOs, token rewards for tasks, and device mining, with clear policy boundaries. Combined with recent signals of regulatory easing, such as the SEC's termination of the investigation into OpenSea, Apple's concessions and changes in the policy environment may work in concert to accelerate the mainstreaming of the crypto economy, but the long-term effects still need to be observed in terms of technological compliance and actual market implementation.
