Apple to bring USDC payments to 1.4B iPhone users 💥
Apple's decided to open its NFC chip to third-party apps with iOS 18.1
This could be a watershed moment for crypto payments 🌊🤯
Imagine tapping your iPhone at a point-of-sale (PoS) terminal to pay directly with USDC.
The PoS would communicate the necessary transaction details to your wallet app, you'd confirm with FaceID, and the USDC payment would be settled on-chain.
Zooming out: This will have enormous implications for the consumer payment landscape, merchants (brands), and wallet providers.
This development isn't just about USDC. It extends to other stablecoins, NFTs, and many other use cases.💥
The combo of NFC capabilities and high-performance, low-fee blockchains like Solana, Avalanche etc., creates a pathway for frictionless, direct-to-merchant crypto payments.
