$BTC Apple has made significant advances in the field of cryptocurrencies, marking a milestone in the integration of digital assets into its ecosystem.
🪙 Apple Wallet now supports cryptocurrencies
Apple has updated its Wallet app to allow users to store, send, and receive popular cryptocurrencies directly from their iPhones. This functionality turns the iPhone into a complete digital wallet, eliminating the need for third-party apps and facilitating secure and simple transactions through Apple Pay. 
📱 Changes in App Store policies favor crypto apps
A recent court ruling in the U.S. has forced Apple to loosen its restrictions on cryptocurrency-related apps. From now on, developers can direct users to external payment systems without facing additional fees or restrictions, opening up new opportunities for gaming and decentralized finance (DeFi) apps on iOS. 
🔐 Security improvements: critical iOS updates
Apple has released iOS 18.4.1 to fix two zero-day vulnerabilities that were being exploited in sophisticated attacks. These flaws allowed attackers to execute malicious code and bypass memory protections. All users are advised to update their devices to ensure the security of their data and transactions.  
🧰 CryptoKit and CryptoTokenKit: tools for developers
Apple continues to enhance its cryptographic development libraries. CryptoKit provides a secure and efficient API for common cryptographic operations, while CryptoTokenKit allows apps to access security tokens and stored crypto assets. These tools facilitate the integration of advanced cryptographic features into iOS and macOS apps.
