#AppleCryptoUpdate #AppleCryptoUpdate New to the World of Cryptocurrency (Calmly)
Apple hasn't launched a token, but it has done something bigger.
After years of cautious steps - banning mining, App Store restrictions, and preventing 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.
- Freedom for NFTs: Buying from outside the app? No longer prohibited.
Add to that: Coinbase + Apple Pay, and 274 million WalletConnect sessions, along with a wave of decentralized apps looking to enhance the mobile user experience.
Apple hasn't completely backed down - but it has given cryptocurrency developers the keys.
