Jaxx Expands to Ethereum Classic Amid Apple Wallet Changes

Jaxx’s Bold Move Amid Apple Restrictions

Just when you thought the crypto world couldn’t get any wilder, Jaxx, the multi-token Blockchain wallet, pulls a surprise by integrating Ethereum Classic (ETC) into its lineup. This move comes hot on the heels of Apple’s recent decision to have Jaxx CEO Anthony Di Iorio remove Dash from their iOS app. Talk about a rocky relationship! Sure, Apple’s polishing its shiny iPhone 7, but it seems to be ignoring the eclectic, and sometimes whimsical, world of cryptocurrency.

The Circle of Life (Payments)

Circle, the peer-to-peer payment system, is causing ripples throughout the payment landscape, especially with its integration into Apple’s iMessage. According to Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire, some of the biggest hurdles for users come from the need to download separate payment apps. With Circle now nestled in iMessages, paying buddies becomes as effortless as sending a funny meme. It’s like stepping from the Stone Age of payments into the Jetsons’ world.

ETC’s Future on iOS: Will Apple Play Nice?

Now, let’s address the elephant in the room: Ethereum Classic. In spite of Apple’s lack of clarity regarding its support for ETC, Di Iorio remains optimistic. After all, ETC has a strong developer community and has steadily gained traction. Apple has already accepted hard-forked versions of Ethereum; why not show some love to the Classic version, right? Jaxx has even submitted an updated app to the iOS App Store, crossing fingers for a swift approval.

Dash on Other Platforms: A Silver Lining

While the Dash fans may be shedding a sad tear for their excluded Apple users, fear not! Dash will continue to operate smoothly on Jaxx’s other supported platforms. Whether you’re an Android user or prefer to manage your crypto on a desktop, Dash’s features remain fully intact. According to Di Iorio, the relationship with the Dash team remains strong. Phew!

The Bottom Line: Choice is Key

At the heart of Jaxx’s mission is the commitment to providing options for its users. With over 40,000 downloads since launch, it’s clear that their services strike a chord with crypto enthusiasts. Di Iorio succinctly put it, “We’re pro-technology and pro-choice!” In a world that can be quite binary, it’s refreshing to see a wallet that embraces variety. So if you’re looking for flexibility in how you store and manage your crypto assets, Jaxx’s got your back!
