What does Apple's guideline update mean for the NFT sector?

 


Apple has released a policy update for app developers. It says:


Apps may use in-app purchases to sell and market services related to Non-fungible Tokens (NFTs), such as minting, listing, and transferring. Apps may allow users to view their own NFTs, provided that owning NFTs does not unlock any features or functionality within the app. Apps may allow users to browse NFT collections owned by others, provided that the apps do not contain buttons, external links, or other calls-to-action that direct customers to purchase mechanisms other than in-app purchases.


Freely translated from the update from Apple

The group is thus creating a basis for the use and integration of NFTs, which, however, has met with widespread criticism in the industry. For example, paying NFTs with cryptocurrencies is still not officially supported, although it is possible with certain wallets. Including the Phantom Wallet for Solana.


Social NFT trading app for iOS

The change means that primarily trading NFTs in apps on mobile for iOS will be allowed by Apple. In addition, the most valuable international company also allows features such as displaying the images.


Essentially, this should be the basis for the launch of a social NFT app in the iOS universe, which not only allows members to view collections from others, but also to trade the tokens.


While some market observers are again assuming that Apple has its own plans for a marketplace or its own metaverse, this is likely to be just a step by the company into another new business field.


Allowed but expensive

Because the biggest beneficiary of the change is by no means the NFT or crypto space, but above all Apple itself. The American company is also applying its classic, extremely high fee structure here. As with all App Store purchases, there is a 30% fee for the seller.


However, NFTs are usually not the latest gaming skin for a manageable sum, but tend to be very expensive assets, with a 30 percent fee. OpenSea only charges 2.5%, which doesn't exactly promise Apple a competitive advantage.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin

MSP Recovery and Tokenology aim to optimize healthcare with the help of Polygon

  MSP Recovery LLC, a Miami, US-based healthcare provider with an estimated enterprise value of $32.6 billion, is partnering with Web3 company Tokenology to jointly launch a new blockchain platform called Lifechain. Lifechain wants to leverage the verifiable and transparent nature of blockchain technology to aggregate medical care claims, medical expense reports and patient data and streamline their processing. For this purpose, MSP Recovery launched its own LifeWallet in January, which already has 1 million users. In addition to the wallet and blockchain platform, an associated crypto token called LifeCoin is also used. The press release explains that the primary purpose of the system is to enable secondary healthcare providers to more effectively bill health insurance companies for their costs. “The number of medical claims tokenized going forward will surpass $50 million per day by 2024. For this we need scalability, security and sustainability, which we have only found with Polygon

British financial regulator criticizes cooperation between Binance and Paysafe

  The British financial regulator FCA has expressed concerns about the partnership between market-leading crypto exchange Binance and payment service provider Paysafe. As the British regulator complains, the partnership gives Binance access to the influential British payment network Faster Payments Service (FPS), from which the crypto exchange was previously cut off. Last June, the FCA ordered Binance to stop all business activities in Great Britain. As a result, prominent banks such as Barclays have terminated their cooperation with the leading crypto trading platform . Through the cooperation with Paysafe, Binance can now again offer deposits in British pounds sterling and transactions within the European Payments Area (SEPA). However, this fact is a thorn in the side of the FCA, as it classifies the crypto exchange as a “considerable risk factor”. However, the financial regulator sees little room for maneuver to counteract this, as the Financial Times reports . “ Paysafe understands
