Apple enables Crypto Payments via USDC

Circle, the company behind USD Coin has added support for crypto payments via Apple Pay.

iPhone users will now be able to buy cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum on their favorite exchange using Apple’s wallet, making it easier for non-cryptocurrency customers to get a taste of this world.

Circle further commented that Apple Pay is a safer and faster way to pay, because “customers will no longer have to create an account or fill out lengthy forms.”

Who is this feature available to?

This payment option is available to users at select businesses and the process of activating this is simple.

Thanks to Circle, customers can pay online and in apps using their iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, and other compatible devices.

How to use USDC in Apple Pay?

From Circle’s website we can see that the steps to start trading with USDC on Apple Pay to carry out would be as follows:

1. The first thing will be to open a Circle account and create an Apple developer account.
2. We connect to the Circle payment network through an easy API integration, which will allow us to choose between payment options such as Apple pay.
3. To pay in apps and websites in Safari on your iPhone and iPad, select the Apple Pay option at checkout.

Conclusion:

In this way, Apple is integrating itself into the world of cryptocurrencies despite the recent events of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange. Hopefully, this move will lift confidence again in this bear market.
