Pornhub, probably, the world’s biggest adult online network, has publicized its alliance with PumaPay, a crypto payment startup, which is also used for paying bills. From now on, users can pay for their subscriptions in virtual coins.

PumaPay works on their own, unique protocol for payments. The new tandem of the companies is now presented on YouTube with a commercial.

Previous “porno” crypto experiences

Pornhub’s first partner, in the business meaning of this word, was crypto coin Verge (XVG), the collaboration was launched in April. Later on, Tron followed suit and TRX also became a popular coin on Pornhub.

Earlier in August, the subsidiary of the abovementioned website for adults Tube8 announced their plans to create a Blockchain service where users would get paid in crypto for watching XXX-videos. By the way, Tube8 can boast a 10-mln user-base.

Playboy joins the gang

Back in early spring, Playboy magazine stated that it would have an online crypto wallet developed so that readers could pay for Playboy’s online materials in crypto. The VIT coin was meant to be a payment option.

However, in August, the magazine pressed charges against the Canadian contractor Global Blockchain Technologies, because its team did not produce the platform timely and it was not integrated into Playboy’s websites.
