Recently, Apple has adjusted its policies regarding cryptocurrencies and NFTs in the App Store, which has attracted widespread attention in the crypto community. These changes mainly stem from regulatory pressure and developer demands, marking a subtle shift in Apple's policies in the digital asset space. However, while these adjustments relax certain restrictions, they also strengthen control over transaction pathways and fees. Below is an analysis of the situation:

Main changes in Apple's crypto policy

1. NFT transactions allowed, but must go through Apple's payment system

Apple now allows apps to mint, list, and transfer NFTs through its in-app purchase system (IAP). Users can view their NFT collections within the app, but these NFTs cannot unlock additional features of the app. Additionally, apps are not allowed to include links or buttons to external purchase channels, and all transactions must be completed within the App Store, subject to Apple's commission of up to 30%.

2. Cryptocurrency transactions must go through approved exchanges

Apple allows apps to buy and sell cryptocurrencies through officially approved exchanges in countries or regions with the appropriate licenses. This means that only official apps from large exchanges like Coinbase and Binance can offer cryptocurrency trading features in the App Store.
