  There could be several reasons why Apple Pay shows 'payment not completed' for cryptocurrency transactions. One possibility is that the transaction was flagged as suspicious by Apple's fraud detection system. Another reason could be that the cryptocurrency wallet used for the transaction is not compatible with Apple Pay. Additionally, network congestion or technical issues with the cryptocurrency network could also result in payment failures. It's recommended to double-check the transaction details, ensure wallet compatibility, and contact Apple Support for further assistance.

  Sometimes Apple Pay just doesn't want to play nice with cryptocurrencies. It could be due to security concerns or limitations imposed by Apple. Another possibility is that the transaction is taking longer than usual to confirm on the blockchain, causing Apple Pay to display the 'payment not completed' message. If you encounter this issue, try waiting for some time and check the transaction status on the blockchain explorer. If the problem persists, reach out to Apple Support for help.
