Pornhub, the world's largest porn site, has recently added Tron and ZenCash as payment options
The move reveals its partnership with Verge (XVG) wasn't exclusive
Pornhub, the world’s biggest porn site, has recently added two new cryptocurrencies as payment methods: Tron’s TRX token and ZenCash (ZEC). A look at the website’s sales pages now shows a “use cryptocurrency” button, instead of “pay with Verge.”
The announcement reveals that MindGeek’s partnership with Verge (XVG) wasn’t exclusive, as opposed to what was initially revealed. A video published on Pornhub’s official YouTube account seemingly mocks the slogan used in its initial partnership with XVG. It’s titled “Pornhub and TRON (TRX): The Future Has Come… Again.”
Brazzers, another website owned by MindGeek, has also recently tweeted out that it accepts ZenCash and Tron’s TRX token, which implies the cryptocurrency’s founder Justin Sun might’ve secured a partnership with the company, without going through the crowdfunding effort the XVG community endured.
Notably Sun has also recently acquired BitTorrent, the company behind popular torrent client uTorrent, which claims to have over 170 million users. These deals are likely being made to expand Tron’s reach and legitimize it, as Pornhub claims it has over 90 million daily users.
