Jaxx talks about Dash iOS exclusion and Apple’s cryptocurrency whitelist

This week Apple demanded that cryptocurrency wallet Jaxx remove its support of Dash on its iOS app, providing a whitelist of six acceptable tokens, but no rationale for the decision.
Apple has categorically stated only the following coins/tokens are allowed on its App Store; Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, Litecoin, DOA tokens and Ripple.
Anthony Di Iorio, founder of Jaxx, tweeted news Dash was to be removed from Jaxx iOS and this immediately reverberated around the crypto community. Ethereum inventor Vitalik Buterin stated publicly that, despite being a beneficiary of this instance of (private) regulatory protectionism, he opposes it.
Dash is known for providing an extra layer of privacy, which may be concerning Apple. There has also been news about the anonymity of Monero and its potential for dark web transactions and such like.
