Europe's push to curb its dependence on U.S. payments giants Visa and Mastercard has driven a wedge between the European Central Bank and financial firms keen to shield revenues, hobbling efforts to build a home-grown system, several people involved said.

European policymakers have made payments sovereignty a strategic priority, as a fragmenting global order raises the risk of access to payments systems being weaponised and new forms of money challenge the euro's role.

Apple asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday to review a lower court ruling that held the iPhone maker in civil contempt over fees it was charging on some outside purchases made by customers of its App Store. The petition to the Supreme Court escalates a years-long legal battle with “Fortnite” video game maker Epic Games, which sued Apple in 2020 seeking to loosen its control over transactions in applications that use the company's iOS operating system and its restrictions on how apps are distributed to consumers.
