Cardano’s native token, ADA, is reportedly on the cusp of a significant integration with Apple Pay, Apple’s massive mobile payment and digital wallet service, which boasts over 500 million users. This strategic move is expected to expose ADA to a vast new audience, potentially paving the way for its mass adoption.
The integration is facilitated by CardanoKit, a specialized kit designed to ensure compatibility between Cardano applications and Apple devices. Written in Swift, CardanoKit will enable developers to incorporate ADA payment options and Web3 features into applications, and will also make ADA purchases accessible directly to iPhone users. CardanoKit is set to go live soon and will support all Apple platforms, including WatchOS, iOS, and tvOS.
This development aligns with a growing trend of major tech companies embracing digital currencies as global demand for crypto reaches record levels. Notably, Apple recently updated its App Store policy to allow crypto-based applications. Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has long maintained that regulatory clarity would open doors for tech giants like Apple and Google to engage with the crypto space.
In preparation for broader adoption, the Cardano network also launched Veridian, an open-source platform wallet offering secure, enterprise-ready verification services. While the full impact on ADA’s price remains to be seen, increased exposure to Apple’s extensive user base is highly likely to attract new users interested in exploring cryptocurrencies through their familiar Apple devices. At the time of this report, ADA is trading at $0.83, having gained over 8% in the last seven days.
