Apple's Legal Win Against Epic Games Could Impact Crypto and NFTs
TL;DR Summary
A US federal appeals court has ruled that Apple violated California’s Unfair Competition Law by forbidding app developers from using any alternative payment method besides those of the tech giant’s own App Store, which levies a 30% fee on most transactions. The decision could have major implications for NFT and crypto builders, as it frees iOS developers to send consumers to the web to do business with them directly there. This could allow for the use of cryptocurrency in app-related transactions, which Apple’s policies currently prohibit.
