Pornhub has reportedly replaced USDT with USDC for creator payouts, with USDT no longer listed as a payout option.
A circulated email said the change was made to improve payment reliability and described USDC as a fully backed, MiCA-compliant regulated stablecoin.
Pornhub appears to have changed course on stablecoin payouts, replacing USDT with USDC for creators in a move that reflects how payment reliability and regulation are starting to shape even the more unusual corners of crypto adoption.
The change was first circulated through screenshots of an email reportedly sent to creators. In that message, Pornhub said the switch was intended to make payouts “more reliable,” while also describing USDC as a fully backed and MiCA-compliant regulated stablecoin. Reports now say USDT is no longer listed among the platform’s payout methods.
