#AppleCryptoUpdate Apple has recently updated its guidelines for crypto apps, allowing developers to direct users to external purchasing methods without restrictions or hefty fees. This move follows a US district judge's ruling that Apple violated an antitrust injunction in its case against Epic Games. The update means ¹ ²:
- *Crypto App Freedom*: Developers can now link to external websites for purchases, including NFTs, without Apple's commission fees.
- *Increased Flexibility*: Apps can design and place links to external payment systems without needing special entitlements.
- *Industry Impact*: This change is seen as "hugely bullish" for the crypto industry, potentially boosting mobile crypto games and apps.
Some popular crypto apps, like CoinMarketCap and Crypto News, are already available on the App Store, offering features like real-time price tracking, news, and portfolio management ³ ⁴.
