This roundup of Apple crypto news covers two separate stories from late July 2026. One involves a lawsuit accusing Apple of hosting a malicious Bitcoin wallet app.
The other covers a Bybit trading promotion linked to Apple's earnings report. Readers should treat these as two distinct events, not one connected story.
On July 28, 2026, BSCNews (@BSCNews) reported that Apple is facing a lawsuit over an alleged Bitcoin wallet scam app hosted on its App Store.
According to the lawsuit described in the post, the company kept the app functional even after receiving a report of an $875,000 loss from one user.

The same app allegedly ran again afterward, and a second user reportedly lost close to $840,000.
This is the scam related to this Apple crypto news update. It centers on App Store oversight, not on any product company itself built or endorsed.
The lawsuit alleges company was informed of the theft and did not remove the app in time.
The app allegedly ran again after the first report, leading to a second reported loss.

Bybit (@Bybit_Official) published a pinned post tying a trading promotion to Apple's upcoming earnings report.
This is the investing-related story in this crypto news update and is unrelated to the lawsuit above.
The exchange post described "xStocks Dual Asset" as a product that lets users earn yield while holding a position, whether they expect the price to move lower or higher. To mark the launch, Platform said it would give away three prizes of 1,000 USDT in trial funds each.

For the lawsuit, the next steps would depend on the company's response and any court filings, which have not been made public through the cited sources.
For the Bybit promotion, the giveaway window closes on August 5, 2026, at 23:59 UTC, with winners to be contacted within seven days after that.
