Some time ago, the portal with videos for adult viewers, Pornhub, began to have some problems. Companies such as Visa and Mastercard withdrew from cooperation with it. In response, they started promoting cryptocurrency payments. As of now, the porn platform also accepts the service of paying for its services in exchange for Ripple tokens - XRP. However, this is not the end of the story. You can also pay the company in other digital currencies for access to your premium account. Pornhub is accepting more and more cryptocurrencies According to The Block, Pornhub is now accepting payments in XRP, USDC stablecoins, Dogecoins (DOGE) and Binance Coins (BNB). This brings the total number of cryptocurrencies accepted in Pornhub's premium subscription payment system to 16 now. The decision to open up to XRP in the first place is puzzling. After all, there is an ongoing court dispute in the background regarding Ripple Labs, the company that issues XRP. The controversy eventually caused the token to be removed from more than a dozen cryptocurrency exchanges. As you can see, and in the case of XRP, there is now light in this dark tunnel. Pornhub's problems Recall that the portal Pornhub has problems arising from the content that could be found on it. It turned out that the videos published on the platform were not sufficiently filtered, and as a result, it was possible to post videos with pedophilic content or containing scenes of beating women. In response, Visa and Mastercard no longer want to cooperate with the company. It is known that in the case of Mastercard the blockade is permanent. Visa, on the other hand, has only suspended its services and is investigating the matter. This move by Visa and Mastercard initially caused Verge, the hardfork of Dogecoin (DOGE), for example, to rise to prominence. The cryptocurrency has long been one of the payment methods on the platform. Only that so far few people have used it. That may now be changing. Responding to Pornhub's troubles, Mark Wittenberg of the Verge Core Marketing Team appealed to models in the porn market to consider adopting cryptocurrency as an alternative to Visa and Mastercard services. - If any model on Pornhub needs help getting familiar with [new] payment options, it's our role as a global community to help. We should embrace decentralized payments," he said. Tags ripple pornhub XRP
