The Landmark Legal Win

It was on April 30, 2025, that a federal court delivered a landmark verdict that significantly altered the face of mobile payments. Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ordered Apple to remove policies that restricted app developers from guiding users towards external payment choices, stripping Apple of the right to impose fees or induce friction on off-platform payments.

This is a revolution for Web3 and crypto. Crypto and NFT applications can now have external payment links in iOS apps, with off-platform purchases no longer providing a cut to Apple. App Store reviews no longer encompass external payment transactions.

Why This Is Important to Your Business

Direct Customer Relationships: Establish payment relationships without Apple's 27% commission.

Better User Experience: Users directly interact with blockchain services without passing through Apple's infrastructure.

Innovation Freedom: Incorporate DeFi protocols, multi-chain support, and cutting-edge crypto features without overbearing supervision.

Why Crypto Payment Gateways Are Superior

Financial Benefits

Cryptocurrency payment gateways provide reduced transaction fees, quicker processing, and worldwide access. Standard processors have a fee of 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction, whereas crypto gateways work on a fee of only 0.5-1%.

Technical Superiority

Speed: Cryptocurrency transactions settle in less than 10 seconds, whereas conventional monetary transactions take 2-5 days to settle.

Security: Once a crypto payment is processed through the payment gateway, it cannot be chargebacked or refunded—eliminating fraud risk entirely.

Global Reach: Get paid from anywhere without banking delays or high international fees.

Market Opportunity

The market for cryptocurrency payment gateways is anticipated to exceed $5 billion by 2031, at an 18.7% compound annual growth rate.
