U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ruled in favor of Epic Games, ordering Apple to lift restrictions on external payment links and buttons within iOS apps. Previously, Apple charged developers up to 30% in fees on all in-app transactions and limited apps from directing users to alternative payment methods.This decision is particularly meaningful for the crypto sector. NFT marketplaces like OpenSea were previously unable to offer direct purchasing on iOS due to Apple’s steep commissions. Wallet apps like MetaMask had to rely on in-app browsers to process crypto payments and avoid fees.Apple has revised its U.S. developer rules in response to the ruling — though it plans to appeal. Under the updated policy, developers can now include links to external payment systems in U.S.-based apps. However, global restrictions still apply, and Apple continues to prohibit certain crypto features, including mining activities or apps offering token rewards for user engagement. .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;} READ MORE: Coinbase to Delist Five Tokens on May 16 What’s Next for Crypto on iOS?This ruling could lead to a surge in crypto-integrated apps, such as NFT platforms, DeFi tools, and web3 wallets, looking to offer frictionless, fee-free payment experiences.
