Apple Loses Appeal: Crypto Apps Freed from 30% ’Apple Tax’ on In-App Purchases
Apple Loses Appeal: Crypto Apps Freed from 30% ’Apple Tax’ on In-App Purchases

A US federal appeals court has struck down Apple’s mandatory 30% commission on in-app purchases, marking a watershed moment for crypto developers. The ruling prohibits Apple from blocking external payment links, dismantling a key revenue stream that generated supracompetitive margins for the tech giant.
For over a decade, Apple’s walled garden forced developers to use its proprietary payment system - a policy the court deemed anticompetitive. The decision particularly benefits cryptocurrency apps, which can now bypass Apple’s friction-laden payment rails and connect users directly to web3 payment solutions.
