Apple opens new horizons in the world of cryptocurrencies (quietly)

Apple hasn’t launched a token, but it has done something bigger.

After years of cautious steps - banning mining, app store restrictions, and prohibiting cryptocurrency payments - things have turned around. In May 2025:

- App Store rules changed: Developers can now link to external cryptocurrency payments and NFT platforms.

- Apple Pay x Bitcoin: Through Mesh, users can now pay using BTC, and merchants receive stablecoins.

- NFT Freedom: Purchasing from outside the app? No longer prohibited.

Add to this: Coinbase + Apple Pay, and 274 million WalletConnect sessions, along with a wave of decentralized apps looking to provide mobile user experience.

Apple hasn’t completely retreated - but it has given cryptocurrency developers the keys.
