ChainCatcher news, according to Forbes, Apple has modified its App Store policy to allow developers of cryptocurrency-related applications to guide users to external websites for transactions and payments within the app. This move is seen as a significant turning point for the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency ecosystem. The change stems from Apple's defeat in the Epic Games case, where the court ordered it to lift the ban on "external link payments." Under the updated policy, developers can prompt users to navigate to external platforms to purchase NFTs or make cryptocurrency payments, no longer being forced to use Apple's internal payment system. Previously, such actions would incur a commission of up to 30% from Apple, which had led to several cryptocurrency wallets and NFT applications facing restrictions or even being removed from the store.Analysts believe that Apple's concession could significantly enhance the availability of decentralized applications (DApps) within the iOS ecosystem, expand their user base, and drive overall market adoption. As cryptocurrency-native applications gain more freedom, the competition between U.S. regulators and tech giants over Web3 infrastructure will continue to intensify.
