Pornhub Now Supports Dogecoin Payments 

DOGE Now Supported By Pornhub

—

DOGE can now be used to pay for premium pornographic content. The crypto coin has been added as a payment option on Pornhub alongside several other currencies. 

Pornhub Expands Crypto Payment Options 

Pornhub, one of the world’s most visited websites, now accepts payments in BNB, DOGE, USDC and XRP. 

The four crypto coins have been added to Pornhub’s list of supported coins, which already included tokens like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Monero and Zcash. Changpeng Zhao, founder of the leading cryptocurrency exchange Binance, applauded the move to add his platform’s BNB token. 

Fk it, I am buying a year of premium porn subscription just for the cause, nothing personal, of course. YOLO. 😆

Pornhub is arguably the world’s most popular adult entertainment platform. It pulls in around 3.6 billion visitors monthly. While much of the content is freely available, access to the premium videos involves paying a subscription fee. 

Previously, that fee was payable with Visa and Mastercard. But when The New York Times ran a feature alleging that Pornhub had published videos of child abuse and rape last month, both payments giants cut ties. 

Pornhub then took a move to list cryptocurrencies as a payment option. Though the privacy-preserving coins Dash and PumaPay were added as support and delisted, the website now supports payments in 16 cryptocurrencies. 

Interestingly, Ripple’s XRP token is among the latest additions, despite the company’s widely-documented downfall. Additionally, the DOGE addition is something of an outlier—Dogecoin is generally seen as a meme by crypto insiders. Recently, it’s received more attention outside crypto, partly as a result of Elon Musk’s humoured attempts to popularize the project. 

The crypto payment options are supported in the U.S., and many other countries. For some EU nations, the site requires a bank wire.
