Apple’s walled garden just opened a new door — and it leads directly to Web3.
Under recent antitrust pressure, Apple now lets developers direct users to external payment options — including for NFTs and crypto. That means no more 30% cut from the App Store on digital collectibles or token-based memberships.
This is a game-changer.
What’s about to shift?
• NFT marketplaces can finally launch native iOS apps without App Store roadblocks. Expect easier onboarding, simpler purchases, and smoother user experiences.
• Crypto wallets and DApps can now pack in more features — staking, swaps, and more — all inside the app.
• Token-gated content and exclusive communities? Now fully possible on iOS, with access to special events and premium features.
Who stands to win?
• Play-to-earn gaming platforms
• Creator apps offering NFT fan passes
• On-chain loyalty programs
• DeFi dashboards with premium services
This could be Web3’s big break on the App Store.
