Apple's CEO Transition Maintains Conservative Crypto Stance

Apple's recent leadership change from Tim Cook to John Ternus has not altered the company's cautious approach to cryptocurrency. According to NS3.AI, the App Store continues to impose a 30% commission on digital goods, including NFTs and crypto-related in-app purchases. A study by Counterpoint Research revealed that 41% of first-time crypto buyers worldwide used Apple Pay to fund their initial purchases, as third-party wallets increasingly adopt the payment method for crypto transactions.
