Over 120 million daily visitors on the website in the United States, Singapore, United Kingdom, and other supported places can pay on the platform using quite a vast number of cryptocurrencies.

Pornhub’s dive into cryptocurrencies followed recent bans by payment processing companies such as MasterCard and Visa.
Pornhub turns to crypto
Last month, MasterCard and Visa stopped processing credit card payments for Pornhub, following an accusation that it allowed a video wherein a child was molested. However, the adult platform declined the allegation and moved on to default digital currencies as a payment option for the affected countries. As Cryptopolitan reported on 14th December, the adult entertainment platform also added support for Bitcoin Cash at the time.
Similarly, the adult website moved to add support for US dollar-backed stablecoin, Tether (USDT), when PayPal banned them.
