United States stablecoin giant Circle says tap to pay functionally for USDC will be coming “soon” to iPhones.
Jeremy Allaire, the CEO of stablecoin firm Circle, says his firm is planning to introduce tap-and-go payments on iPhones after a move from Apple to open up development on iPhone secure payments chips to third-party developers.
“Tap to pay using USDC on iPhones incoming soon. Wallet devs, start your engines,” Allaire said in an Aug. 14 post to X.
In an Aug. 14 statement, California-based tech giant Apple said that it would open up the use of its NFC chip and Secure Element (SE) to third-party app developers, paving the way for crypto developers to integrate blockchain-based payments functionality on the Apple device.
