The world's largest adult website turns to encryption payments, sparking discussions on industry transformation.

According to PANews, the world's largest adult content platform has recently adjusted its paid membership policy and now only accepts Crypto Assets as a payment method.

This change stems from a recent public opinion storm. The New York Times previously published an article pointing out that the platform has a large number of adult videos uploaded without the consent of the parties involved, which has attracted widespread attention. Under the pressure of public opinion, two major payment service providers announced the suspension of settlement services for the platform and launched an investigation.

According to the report from the adult website in 2019, its annual visit count reached an astonishing 42 billion, with an average of 80,000 visits per minute. Data from the website traffic analysis platform similarweb shows that the site ranks 10th in global website traffic.

This event highlights the challenges faced by traditional payment systems in specific industries, while also reflecting the potential of Crypto Assets as an alternative payment method. For the platform, transitioning to Crypto Assets payment may be a necessary move to maintain business operations. However, this has also sparked more discussions on issues such as content review and user protection.

With the continuous development of the digital payment field, similar events may drive more platforms to consider adopting Crypto Assets and other alternative payment methods. This involves not only technological changes but also legal, ethical, and user privacy considerations. In the future, finding a balance between protecting user rights and maintaining platform operations will become an important issue facing the industry.
