In addition to Ethereum, the press release says, it will be possible to purchase several popular stablecoins using cards linked to Apple Pay. We are talking about Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), and Dai (DAI). It is known from the MetaMask message that the number of commissions when buying coins will depend on the payment method and the location (country) of each specific user.
