Coinbase Global Inc. has integrated Apple Pay into its fiat-to-crypto onramp platform, allowing users of third-party apps, including self-custody wallets, to fund their cryptocurrency purchases using Apple's payment service.

The move is seen as a significant step for developers on the Base platform, as it facilitates easier user acquisition for their applications.
