Cook added that he is now researching more about these digital currencies since his interest in them is continuously growing.

He announced that the giant iPhone maker still has no plans for supporting digital currency payment options. Right now, Apple and other giant manufacturers are still refusing to integrate crypto payment features into their products. 

On the other hand, he added that he is also becoming interested in NFTs. But, Cook said that it would still take some time before he invested in the rising blockchain artworks. 

As of the moment, various cryptos started to appear. Recently, we reported that Catecoin would soon be listed on Gate.io. This digital coin brand is just one of the newest cryptocurrencies that arrived in the market. 

Because of the rising value of the blockchain market, various companies, agencies, as well as government officials now want to enter the industry. These include the new NYC Mayor Eric Adams, saying that crypto should be taught in schools.  

Apple Still Doesn't Support Crypto Payment

Apple is one of the companies that still doesn't support crypto payment. Although this is the case, the giant gadget creator is still trying to help consumers interested in the blockchain market. 

These include Apple App Store supporting crypto wallets. But, this service still has some limitations since it doesn't allow applications to mine digital currencies.
