Apple Grants Rare Approval To Uniswap's Mobile Wallet App

Uniswap’s Prior Tussle With Apple

The DeFi protocol, currently valued at $3.5 billion, initially revealed the crypto wallet at the beginning of March. However, at the time, Uniswap stated that Apple was delaying its approval and therefore had to be released in a restricted capacity. Uniswap explicitly highlighted in a Twitter thread that Apple was shying away from green-lighting their debut and “we don’t know why”.

While speaking about the ongoing hurdle with Apple, Uniswap was quoted as saying:

We submitted our mobile app months ago and even though we are 100% compliant with their specifications, we’re still stuck in limbo.

Now that the official listing has been made available on the App Store, those uncertainties seem to have been put to rest. Uniswap claims that the wallet enables users to exchange cryptocurrencies not just on Ethereum’s mainnet but also on Polygon, Arbitrum, and Optimism’s own networks. Additionally, users are able to acquire cryptocurrency, view information pertaining to NFTs, save their “favorite” tokens & wallet addresses, and research various cryptocurrencies. Moreover, customers have the option of purchasing cryptocurrencies with fiat currency after paying a 2.55% transaction fee.

With this, it certainly opens the floodgates for other crypto platforms to launch their iOS wallet in Apple’s proprietary store. Currently, in addition to the Uniswap wallet, the store hosts wallets from Coinbase, Trust and Metamask among others.

In minutes following the news, the DeFi community and the larger crypto market responded favorably to the announcement, which is evident from UNI’s price surge. As things currently stand, the price of Uniswap’s native token is exchanging hands at $6.20, which represents a gain of 5.30% over the past 24 hours in contrast to an increase of 0.85% recorded over the past seven days.
