#AppleCryptoUpdate

Big news for crypto and Apple users! Apple is opening up iPhone’s NFC (Tap to Pay) to third-party apps, allowing crypto wallets like Coinbase and MetaMask to enable USDC payments directly from iPhones. Coinbase and Mesh already support Apple Pay for crypto purchases, and Circle confirmed that USDC Tap to Pay is coming soon. Meanwhile, App Store changes now let iOS apps link to external crypto or NFT sites without Apple’s 30% cut. Though Apple has no native crypto wallet, these changes mark a major shift. Crypto is going mainstream—and Apple is finally joining the party.
