#AppleCryptoUpdate

Certainly. "Apple's updates regarding cryptocurrencies" refer to the recent developments and activities of Apple concerning cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. Here’s a summary of the recent developments up to May 2025:

Key Developments:

* Court ruling opens iOS system to digital currency payments: A recent ruling from a U.S. federal court, stemming from Apple’s legal battle with Epic Games, now requires Apple to allow app developers to inform users about alternative payment methods outside of the App Store. This is seen as a significant development for cryptocurrency apps, potentially enabling the integration of direct digital currency payments and NFT features within iOS apps.

* Apple Pay adopts stablecoin transactions via Mesh: The fintech platform Mesh announced an integration with Apple Pay at the Token2049 conference. This integration allows merchants to accept stablecoin payments through Apple’s payment system, facilitated by Mesh as a third-party provider. This represents a step towards mainstream adoption of digital currencies within the Apple ecosystem.

* No direct company investment in cryptocurrencies: Despite speculation, Apple has not announced any direct company investments in cryptocurrencies. In February 2025, Apple outlined a significant investment plan focused on artificial intelligence, manufacturing, and engineering, with no mention of digital assets.
