Apple will allow European users to purchase NFTs and cryptocurrencies in third-party app stores to comply with the EU's new antitrust law
ChainCatcher news, in compliance with the new EU antitrust law, tech giant Apple will allow its European users to purchase NFTs and cryptocurrencies from third-party app stores. Previously, Apple had strict regulations on NFT applications, requiring users to make purchases within Apple's own App Store and pay a 30% commission to Apple, with no option to use cryptocurrency for payments.Apple's latest move to open its ecosystem can be seen as a response to the EU's Digital Markets Act, which aims to regulate so-called "gatekeepers" and ensure platforms act fairly, allowing "third parties to interoperate with the gatekeepers' own services."
