I don’t understand what argument that is.

On my iPhone I have:

- Kraken Pro app, where I can buy and sell bitcoins

- Ledger Live app, which I use with my hardware Ledger device for my self custody Bitcoin

Using these two apps, I can buy Bitcoin, sell Bitcoin, and transfer Bitcoin to anyone using my iPhone.

What is it that Apple is preventing these people from doing?

If I want to send Bitcoins to you, we don’t need that Apple allows Venmo or other “peer to peer” payment apps to use cryptocurrency. Those kind of companies are irrelevant for that goal anyways.

All we need is that you either have an account on an exchange, or a self-custody wallet, and I can send Bitcoin to you. All of this is possible using an iPhone.
