The new payment option comes two months after PayPal abruptly cut off its service to Pornhub in November.

“Since PayPal’s decision to stop payouts to thousands of Models two months ago, we’ve been hustling to...offer you more options," said Pornhub, adding that USDT transactions can take place “within a few seconds” and that there are "no fees."

Justin Sun, CEO of TRON, said Pornhub’s decision to add USDT via TRONLink is “a brilliant way to support the victims of centralized payment platforms like PayPal.”

Pornhub has also been supporting the privacy-oriented coin Verge (XVG) on its platform since April 2018.
