Pornhub, the popular adult entertainment site, has added two popular cryptocurrencies as payment options.

In a tweet Wednesday, the company announced that it's now accepting bitcoin (BTC) and litecoin (LTC) in payment for its Pornhub Premium offering.
The company has been accepting the verge (XVG) cryptocurrency for user payments since 2018.
It has since started allowing its entertainers to be paid in tether (USDT), a stablecoin linked to the U.S. dollar.
Pornhub has previously announced it would accept both tron (TRX) and horizen (ZEN) for content, too, though its web page currently lists only verge.
Pornhub has had issues with traditional funding methods in the past, when PayPal suddenly blocked payments to the site without explanation.
Corey Price, vice president of Pornhub, said at the time the site would look at more cryptocurrency options going forward.
