Policy Evolution: From Restrictions to Conditional Opening

In recent years, Apple's attitude towards cryptocurrency and blockchain has undergone a significant shift. In 2021, Apple relaxed App Store payment rules for the first time due to developer lawsuits, allowing developers with annual revenues below $1 million to use external payment channels, circumventing the 30% 'Apple tax', indirectly opening up space for the NFT market. In 2022, Apple explicitly allowed in-app sales of NFTs but insisted on taking a 30% cut and prohibited cryptocurrency payments, sparking industry controversy. By May 2025, influenced by court rulings, Apple further updated its policy to allow applications in the U.S. region to access third-party payments and support users in purchasing NFTs through external markets, marking a structural breakthrough for the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
