A ruling by a U.S. court has forced Apple to end its restrictive payment policies, providing new freedoms for cryptocurrency developers on iOS. Industry experts are optimistic about the integration of Web3 and NFTs.

In a significant ruling, Apple was found to have willfully violated an antitrust injunction from 2021, and the court ordered the immediate revision of its restrictive in-app payment rules. This ruling was issued by Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers on April 30 and is part of the ongoing legal battle between Apple and Epic Games, which has forced the tech giant to stop preventing developers from linking to external payment options, including those supported by cryptocurrency.
