Why an integration with Bitcoin could be next for the personal finance ecosystem of tech giant Apple and what it would look like. And more importantly, what would it mean for the future of the king crypto (BTC)?

Let's say Apple took this next step and integrated with Bitcoin; it would be the most significant leap in adoption that the original cryptocurrency has ever received. Despite already integrating with other popular financial apps like Venmo and CashApp, a Bitcoin integration with Apple would immediately onboard the more than one billion iPhone users to the Bitcoin blockchain.

If Bitcoin were to gain that kind of exposure, it would further bolster its role in our increasingly digital world. Of course, most of this thinking is entirely speculative, but it's a valuable analysis. Current trends signal that in order to remain competitive, Apple (and many other tech companies) will have to find new ways to make BTC more accessible or risk falling behind.
