Overview
- Pornhub, which notified creators Thursday, replaced Tether’s USDT with Circle’s USDC for model and creator payouts.
- Creators must update their wallet details by June 1 to avoid delayed earnings, according to a screenshot shared by creator Gracie Hartie.
- Pornhub’s Model and Content Partner pages no longer list USDT and now show USDC among supported crypto payout options.
- The change is framed around reliability and EU MiCA rules, with USDC benefiting from Circle’s Electronic Money Institution license granted by France’s ACPR in July 2024.
- The shift appears to end Pornhub’s 2020 TronLink setup tied to Justin Sun, while stablecoin choices remain split elsewhere as seen in Drift Protocol’s recent move to USDT after a Tether-backed bailout.
