š° Apple Loosens Restrictions on Cryptocurrency Apps
On April 30, 2025, a US federal judge ruled that Apple violated a 2021 court order by restricting developers from directing users to external payment methods. As a result, Apple must allow apps on the App Store to link to external platforms for payments, including cryptocurrency transactions and NFT purchases.
This decision is seen as a significant step forward for the crypto industry, as it eliminates the 27% fees Apple applied to out-of-app purchases. Developers can now offer cheaper and more direct payment options to users.
