Federal Judge Strikes Down ’Apple Tax,’ Paving Way for Frictionless Crypto Integration
A federal judge’s ruling against Apple’s 30% in-app purchase fee marks a watershed moment for cryptocurrency adoption. The decision eliminates a major barrier to mobile crypto integration, allowing developers to embed wallets directly into apps without punitive fees.
"The death of the Apple Tariff is extremely bullish for the digital asset economy," said Crossmint co-founder Alfonso Gómez-Jordana. With mobile devices accounting for two-thirds of e-commerce transactions, this legal shift enables seamless crypto purchases and spending at scale.
The ruling comes as blockchain projects increasingly focus on mobile-first strategies. By removing the 30% App Store tax, developers gain freedom to implement innovative payment flows that could accelerate mainstream crypto adoption.
