Pornhub has announced the addition of two new payment options. One of the options is USDT. USDT is a cryptocurrency stablecoin and is the sixth-largest by market cap.

Two months ago, PayPal stopped supporting Pornhub due to issues concerning regulatory compliance, thereby cutting off the PayPal payroll of the models and actors on its website.

However, it appears that cryptocurrency has come in handy to support porn actors’ livelihood as USD-Tether payments have been added. PornHub wrote on Twitter:

Heads up Models! We just added USDT, @CosmoPayment & more to our Payment Method options!

USDT stablecoin has the greatest liquidity and is the largest stablecoin in the cryptocurrency domain. It has an aggregate market cap of over $4.6 billion.

USDT is operating on five platforms: OMNI, ETH, TRX, EOS, and Liquid chain. Its portion on OMNI, ETH, and TRX are 32.9%, 48.7%, 19.4%, respectively, while it is not up to 1% on EOS and Liquid Chain.

A long time ago, nations banned banking services for the facilitation of porn websites as a means of countering human and drug trafficking. However, the industry continues to prosper with numerous sex workers in it.

The growth of stablecoin adoption outside cryptocurrency exchanges may be achieved by introducing stablecoin payments. Stablecoin payments do not include the volatility aspect of cryptos. At the moment, it is utilized as a means of hedging an individual’s value in FIAT on exchanges when trading cryptos.
