Mainstream adult websites only accept Crypto Assets payments, reflecting alternative applications of digital assets.

The payment membership system of a globally renowned adult website has recently undergone significant adjustments and now only accepts Crypto Assets as a payment method.

This change stems from a series of recent events. A mainstream media outlet published a report highlighting the presence of a large amount of adult video content uploaded without the consent of the parties involved on the website. This has sparked widespread attention and discussion across various sectors of society. Under public pressure, two major payment service providers announced the suspension of settlement services for the website and initiated investigations into the related issues.

According to the official report of the adult website in 2019, its annual visit volume reached an astonishing 42 billion times, with an average of 80,000 visits per minute. Data from a well-known data analysis platform shows that the website ranks 10th in global website traffic.

This event reflects that Crypto Assets may become an alternative to traditional payment systems in special circumstances. At the same time, it also raises concerns about internet content regulation, user privacy protection, and digital payment systems. As the situation develops, the operating model of the website may face further adjustments and challenges.
