Pornhub Breaking News | Enabling crypto payment only for its premium service

On December 15, 2020, Pornhub, the world’s largest adult website, has revised its membership rules and supported crypto only for payment.

Although this information is not officially announced on Pornhub’s Twitter, the editor has succeeded in testing the purchase process. And it turns out it is accepting crypto only as its default payment, Visa and Master card payment not seen on the Premium service page.

Once clicking the “Get Premium Now”, more than 10 crypto currency selections will pop up. Currently, it has supported BTC, TRX, USDT, BCH, Dash, ETH, ETC, LTC, XMR, XVG, XEM, ZEC and Waves.

The editor paid by BTC and waited 13 minutes and 17 seconds for confirmation. The transfer on-chain was successful and then I received a confirmation email as bellowed:

Institutional bulls drove record highs in digital currencies in the last month, Pornhub’s foray into crypto will motivates the growing awareness and adoption of digital assets industry. 2020, undoubtedly, has become the milestone of involving big company for crypto payment. At present, AToken decentralized digital wallet has integrated payment path in advance, and users can scan the QR-code directly from the wallet to complete the payment.

Based on the editor’s payment experience, there is a big gap between the experience of crypto payment and the previous payment methods such as Visa, since the lightening network acceleration has not been used. AToken wallet team has actively talking to Pornhub and discussing for enabling AToken lightening network in the near future, which will allow users to transfer BTC within seconds.
