Apple relaxes its in-app NFT stance, Venmo introduces teen accounts, WhatsApp rolls out editable messages
Good morning! Pac-Man fans can rejoice. For a cool $270, you can now get yourself a premium Lego set based on the 1980’s arcade classic 👾
🌶 Highlight of the day 🌶
Stepn, a web3 running app, shipped in-app NFT trading on iOS. Users can now buy and sell the game’s NFT sneakers without having to rely on an external marketplace, and a new integration also lets users purchase assets with Apple Pay.
Historically, Apple has been strongly opposed to digital asset trading within blockchain games. Given Stepn’s move comes just a week after Axie Infinity launched its iOS app, it seems that Tim Cook’s had a change of heart 🍏
