New iPhone feature enables crypto payments via "Tap to Pay"

Users of Apple Pay will soon be able to utilize the iPhone's Tap to Pay function to make Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency purchases at a range of popular stores and services shortly.

"Tap to Pay" to allow merchants to accept crypto payments

Apple has announced that its soon-to-launch Tap to Pay feature will support "Apple Pay, contactless credit and debit cards, and other digital wallets." This means that customers using the Coinbase Card, Crypto.com Visa Card, or similar payment card will be able to use their cryptocurrency holdings to make payments via Tap to Pay, unless Apple creates a natural barrier to do so.

It's worth noting that Apple's first partner for the iPhone's Tap to Pay feature is payments platform Stripe, which received an investment of more than $350 million from Canadian e-commerce giant Shopify last year. However, Apple also mentioned that Stripe would not be the only platform to enable payments, saying, "it will be the first payment platform to offer Tap to Pay on the iPhone to their business customers, including the Shopify Point of Sale app this spring. Other payment platforms and apps will follow later this year."

Apple CEO revealed his personal crypto purchase in November

In November 2021, Apple CEO Tim Cook revealed that he was personally holding cryptocurrencies as "part of a diversified portfolio" while stating that the company had no immediate intentions to use cryptocurrencies as payment for its products. At the time, Michael Saylor, CEO of Microstrategy, responded to Cook's statements that it could be worth at least a trillion dollars to shareholders if Apple were to drop support for Bitcoin.

Although Bitcoin will most likely not be accepted for direct purchases of goods and services, Apple Pay will convert the user's cryptocurrency holdings into the dollar amount needed by the merchant's point-of-sale device to complete the transaction. Apple intends to make Tap to Pay functionality available in Apple Stores, iPhone XS, and subsequent models.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

Why is there no trial or refund policy?

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

How often is content updated?

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
