Apple Softens Stance on Blockchain-Based Transactions with Integration of Web3 App on Apple Pay

Apple is showing signs of becoming more open to blockchain-based transactions on its App Store, with the integration of STEPN, an app that allows users to earn tokens as they walk, being the first Web3 app to use Apple Pay. This move removes the need for users to connect a crypto wallet to purchase in-game assets, potentially making it easier for new players to join the ecosystem. Apple's previous stance on crypto has been criticized by industry figures, with Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong describing it as "restrictive and hostile" in a tweet. However, recent developments suggest that the tech giant may be willing to reconsider its position on cryptocurrencies and blockchain.
