Since one of the 15 Upbit is using is that scam tether, I wouldn’t be surprised if apple soon ends up restricting all crypto once usdt crashes.

Apple I think is also susceptible to all these political actions from bans on crypto-currencies and so on. Because this company has a very large audience, including presidents of different countries, who are struggling with crypto-currencies

Agreed and that makes sense. Apple don't need to allow every cryptos.

But what I am really curious is how some minor cryptos are chosen by Apple's strict rule.
For example, Voxel and Wave are good alts but why not other good alts are still not allowed by Apple?
Hmm, I have to survey for this more..
The only coin I have never heard about is Voxels it is a coins that has a very low market cap compared to the others, maybe they have some interest in that coin or the devs of Voxels are influential enough to pull this move and make their coin very visible, the rest of the coins are fine and are known coins and the majority of the community should be holding at least one of those coins as an investment, what coins would you like to see being accepted and that are not there?


Yes, Voxel is kind of surprising. This brought me to study the coin so far. Btw, Apple is also interested in VR industry.. Noted!

Hmm, I miss NEO, Stellar and ICON among those... Apple should reconsider - forget so important and promising coins!

Can anybody explain why? And what's acceptance criteria of the list?
Maybe they set some kind of fee like exchanges do so those who can afford to pay that fee are able to list their coin. Top coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin etc are listed as a default as they are listed everywhere.

Even if you are the one who owns the business you will also choose few coins to allow on payment. you will have the coins you believe that you can hold for a long time and make the profit from it aside from your business products. if you will accept every coin that will throw to you, you will have a problem as people will just pay the dropping coins to you and keep holding the potentials.

I do not know their official status on this but it seems logical to only accept a selection, there's no benefit to accepting every cryptocurrency, it's unnecessary cost and effort.
