To the website's models and actresses, who use PayPal, the company recommended immediately switching to another method of payment. That could be Paxum, Check, Verge or direct deposits. It is worth noting that the latter payment method is available only to American and Canadian Pornhub users.
In the comments on the tweet, many began to offer crypto as an alternative.
Large crypto industry players were ready to offer their help. Justin Sun, the founder of the TRON blockchain platform, recalled that Pornhub is already accepting TRX for payment, and companies should consider adding a Tron-based stablecoin.
.@Pornhub accepts $TRX payment. We need to add USDT-TRC20 supports too. #TRON #TRX https://t.co/2cK6jgqP3e
