App rejected regarding cryptocurrency exchange license

Hello,

"but Apple has still insisted on a business license, even after receiving such a letter."

Are you an individual or a company? Is your company a "financial" company?

@matheymatei Our legal entity is a company (a cryptocurrency exchange) - is that what you mean by "financial" company?

The "business license" mentioned above refers to a special license that some countries require for providing cryptocurrency exchange services.

India crytpo is mad shady so a legal opinion of 'the mob says lawless is ok' may not be enough if you catch my drift

@jeffsun

If your legal entity is a cryptocurrency exchange then it's best for you to provide the documents that Apple requires from you. There is no other way. If you will or not be approved on the App Store, nobody knows but chances are significantly higher if you do what Apple asks.

Additionally to everything, note that cryptocurrency apps are a grey area and in the end, Apple decides best in its own interest (know that Apple will protect its users first). It's different if the app is submitted by a big company that already established a cryptocurrency business on its own website (ex. Binance) or just a recently registered crypto exchange.

Hope you resolve your issue.

We are facing the same problem and every time we ask for a clear explanation of what exactly Apple wants from us however they are repeating same text as yours again and again.

The actual problem is if they prohibited cryptocurrency apps we should know this and/or if they will only approve apps that hold licenses %90 of the countries do not issue any licenses so Apple should indicate which countries need licenses and which countries do not need these. How can we get licenses from the countries even if they do not issue licenses at all?

This approach is not a good behavior to their customers even though we pay a yearly fee to take these services. However even we can not get a clear answer to our problem. The question is simple why don't you approve our app? What is the problem? And what should we do to get approval?

Disappointing behavior against us without a clear explanation and apart from the world's reality.

If anyone gets a clear explanation please share it with us may be someone get a solution with trials where Apple does not help us and gives clear explanations formally.

We’re currently facing this same sad situation. It appears the app review team at Apple is made up of robots because they keep sending the same replies despite all your explanations. We currently operate in a country where no crypto licenses are issued, how exactly does Apple expect us to come up with a license?

The crazy thing is that our app is already in the App Store, Apple has been approving all our updates before now, suddenly we can no longer update the app because Apple wants a license which we don’t know where to get.

I'm beyond ******.

Has anyone tried the FINCEN MSB license, can it pass the apple store review?

Does anyone published your wallet application to App Store?

Hi Jeff;

Currently facing the same issue, we are also targeting only a single country that doesn't have regulations in place yet. have you been able to resolve this?
