“The application facilitates the transfer of virtual currency, but has not been verified by a corresponding exchange or a recognised financial institution. To resolve the issue, provide documentary evidence that there are the necessary licenses for distributing the application in all places where it is currently available,” — according to the notice.

The previous version of the wallet remains listed in the App Store.

The project’s co-founder Evan Kaloudis said the team had added some notes and resubmitted the Apple software update request.

“Being a non-custodial wallet should be easy to push back, since the product is just a software interface,” — Paolo Ardoino, CTO of Tether, commented.
