As of May 2, 2025, Apple has **significantly relaxed its App Store rules** regarding the distribution of applications involving cryptocurrency and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in the United States. This change comes after a recent court ruling in their antitrust dispute with Epic Games.

**Key Changes:**

* **Allowing External Payment Links**: Developers can now include buttons, external links, or other calls-to-action in their applications to direct users to external payment platforms to purchase cryptocurrency assets or NFTs.

* **No Commission on External Purchases**: Apple will no longer charge any commission or fees on purchases made outside of the application.

* **No Tracking of External Purchases**: Apple will not review, monitor, track, or require developers to report purchases or any other activities that occur outside of the application.

* **Removal of Link Design Restrictions**: Apple cannot control how developers design or place links that guide users to external purchase options.
