Coinbase integrates Apple Pay to simplify crypto purchases

Coinbase has added Apple Pay integration, allowing app developers to include a cryptocurrency purchase option within their apps.

This feature is part of Coinbase Onramp, which aims to simplify converting traditional currencies into cryptocurrencies.

Apple’s stance on cryptocurrency has historically been cautious. The company restricted its credit card users from purchasing cryptocurrencies in 2019.

The inclusion of Apple Pay in Coinbase may suggest a shift in Apple’s approach.
