Rumors about Apple’s entry into the cryptocurrency industry began to rise. Looking at its history, Apple is known to have a knack for making surprises. Thanks to an update shared by the tech giant, the NFT community thinks it has a good chance of entering the cryptocurrency industry with Apple NFT cards.
Is Apple stepping into the cryptocurrency space
Speculation started after Apple revealed a cool memoji-like characters on its latest event page. While the company hasn’t made any clear intentions regarding its blockchain, community researchers have come across hints of an NFT in an upcoming Apple promotional campaign. The annual Worldwide Developer Conference 2022 marketing campaign features some cool NFT-like characters.
As a result, the crypto community on Twitter was hopeful that Apple would enter web 3.0. “Apple could launch NFT trading cards,” said one NFT enthusiast who thinks Apple will enter the cryptocurrency space. In addition to this speculation, clicking on the Memoji characters reveals an augmented reality mode with 3 claimable trading card characters. Apple’s transition to the metaverse looks set to go more smoothly than most companies, as it’s already trying to develop a mixed reality headset with VR and AR functions. Apple CEO Tim Cook also stated that after Apple announced its first quarter earnings, they would invest in the emerging Web3 sector accordingly.
Company has not yet conclusively verified the claims
Although the company has not yet officially confirmed the claims, entry into the NFT space does not present a major challenge. As we reported on cryptokoin.com, Apple has already worked on developing a mixed reality headset with VR and AR functions. This makes it even easier for Apple, which has been heavily involved in the Memoji segment for the past few years. Also, Apple CEO announced his interest in the cryptocurrency space last year. In fact, he said that he has personally invested in crypto. However, Cook did not comment on Apple’s crypto investment plans. He clarified that there are no immediate plans to launch any crypto-related offerings.
However, Cook noted that the company is focusing on other aspects of the crypto space outside of its crypto product offerings. The company’s worldwide developer conference this year will be virtual. It will be held between 6 June and 10 June 2022. There are rumors that Apple will use this event to showcase the latest product releases. Some of these products may be new devices, while others may be upgraded software models. Many people can’t wait to find out if Apple will launch iOS 15, macOS Monterey, iPadOS 15, and watchOS 8. There’s been a lot of hype surrounding the metaverse lately, and rightfully so. Many people look to Web3 technologies as a security measure for a positive economy. They hope they will no longer be afraid to share their biometric data or appear as their true selves in this new economy.
