- Pornhub has reportedly replaced USDT and USDC for payment to creators, USDT is no longer listed as a payment method.
- The published email said that the change was made to ensure reliability of payments and described USDC as a stablecoin managed by MiCA.
Pornhub seems to have changed stablecoin payments, instead of USDT and USDC for the creators a move that shows how reliable payments and rules are starting to create even the strangest corners of the crypto establishment.
The update was first circulated via screenshots of an email purportedly sent to developers. In the message, Pornhub he said the change was made to pay “reliables,” and to describe the USDC as fully funded as well MiCA-compatible stablecoin. Reports now say that USDT is no longer listed among the platform’s payment methods.
Pornhub seems to want more trust than stablecoin scale
This is important because Pornhub was one of the more visible adult platforms that leaned on crypto payments after traditional providers retreated. The site switched to USDT in 2020 after PayPal cut ties with the platform, making Tether a viable payment method for developers as major cryptocurrencies began to decline.
Now preferences seem to be changing. If the published email is any indication of the company’s policy, Pornhub is no longer prioritizing the largest stablecoin in the market itself. Instead it emphasizes the flexibility of payments and the improvement of control, two points that have become more important since the stablecoin competition has gone beyond simple currencies.
The competition for stablecoins is intensifying
This change is also in the main market. The USDC has been focused on compliance, transparency and greater integration with the financial system, while the USDT has continued to regulate and invest.
For creators, the difference is less than useful. The important thing is that if the payment is good, it will keep its value and it will be easy to use.
This could be a big sign here. Stablecoin competition is not limited to exchanges or entry DeFi. It is increasingly being considered within real payment systems, where platforms have to choose not only what users know, but what they believe will cause the least operational problems.
