#AppleCryptoUpdate 🔓 Key Changes in Apple Policies
Following a federal court ruling in the U.S. on April 30, 2025, Apple is now prohibited from:
Imposing commissions on purchases made outside of iOS apps.
Restricting developers from directing users to external payment systems.
Controlling how developers design or place links that lead to purchases outside the app.
💥 This ends the so-called "Apple tax" of 30%, which had been a major obstacle for cryptocurrency app developers.
📱 Impact on Cryptocurrency and NFT Apps
This ruling is seen as a major victory for the crypto industry. From now on, developers will be able to:
Enable direct sales of NFTs and digital assets through external sites without paying a commission to Apple.
Restore functionalities they previously had to remove to comply with Apple’s rules.
Offer better prices and user experiences without the additional fees.
Apps like Coinbase Wallet and Magic Eden, which were previously restricted, will now be able to operate with more freedom.
