Apple has recently updated its App Store guidelines in the United States, making it easier to integrate cryptocurrencies into apps. This update now allows apps to provide links to external payment systems for digital purchases, thus bypassing Apple’s commissions. This decision is viewed positively by the crypto community, as it paves the way for cryptocurrency transactions and features related to NFTs and DeFi within the Apple ecosystem. For example, users could exchange ETH for BTC directly within an app.
