#AppleCryptoUpdate

Cryptocurrency app developers can now freely direct users to payment methods outside of the Apple ecosystem without restrictions or high fees. The ruling was made after U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers determined that Apple violated an injunction from 2021 in the antitrust case against Epic Games.

Apple is required to stop imposing fees or commissions on transactions outside of the app, and is not allowed to control how developers design or place external purchase links. The ruling takes effect immediately.

The cryptocurrency industry welcomes this decision, viewing it as a major advancement. Epic Games CEO, Tim Sweeney, stated that Fortnite will return to the App Store if Apple implements this policy globally.

This move opens up significant opportunities for cryptocurrency apps and games on mobile.
