What else is known about the situation? According to representatives of Coinbase Wallet, Apple’s request is comparable to if the corporation wanted to get money for any emails sent over the Internet. In addition, Apple’s purchase system does not support cryptocurrencies.
The wallet’s team stated that Apple introduced the new policy in order to support and increase its profits through investors in NFTs and innovative developments in the crypto sphere.
The corporation announced the possibility of selling NFTs through the App Store with a 30% commission in September. At that time, crypto community members criticized the high fees because commissions on leading marketplaces usually reach only 5%.
In October, Apple published new guidelines for placing crypto applications in the App Store, prohibiting them to add links to third-party resources or calls to visit them. It is noted that NFT sales must only be made through Apple’s internal system.
