Circle plans to implement one-click payment with USDC on iPhone. This was stated by the company's CEO Jeremy Allaire:
"USDC payment system is coming to iPhone soon. Wallet developers, start your engines"
The reasons for this opportunity - the process is broader and more important - Apple decided to open up NFC and Secure Element payment chips to third-party developers. According to #Bloomberg, in version iOS 18.1 from#Appleit will be possible to use the NFC payment chip to process transactions by third-party payment services. For this, the company will charge a commission.
The option will also allow you to set a third-party payment application by default, replacing Apple Pay. Which in itself is revolutionary.
All this will allow you to implement payment via iPhone with crypto assets. Payment not only via #USDC.
This Apple update is a trigger for the development of crypto wallets. And, probably, for the growth and development of the crypto wallet token segment (which we have been waiting for). It's painful to look at the capitalization of projects from this niche now, despite the fact that, taking into account the fundamentals and prospects, there are future giants there. Also, if we understand what is happening correctly, fiat gateways for crypto assets are a TOP topic for the coming years.
