The future has come. In our efforts to keep current with our community’s privacy and payment preferences, Pornhub will now be accepting Verge as a means of payment for services like Pornhub Premium and more, on our platforms. Building on Verge’s core values of security, anonymity and practicality, the introduction of this cryptocurrency as a means of payment Pornhub signifies an important foray into the future from the industry that is always on the cutting edge of technology.

So will it work? It’s an interesting move from Pornhub, which seems a perfect partner for crypto-payments. As the adult-industry has always been op top new technology, this might be a good proof of concept for other parties.
