The popular adult entertainment website Pornhub has announced that it will accept two other cryptocurrencies – Tron and ZenCash – as payment.

The integration marks the latest crypto-play by the site, which added a payment option for the cryptocurrency Verge in April. Wednesday's news, first reported by Variety, was confirmed by Pornhub spokesperson Chris Jackson. Users of the site can use the cryptocurrencies to buy subscriptions or pay for content at one of a number of affiliated websites.

Notably, the adult entertainment site suggested that it was looking to add support for other cryptocurrencies as well.

Corey Price, vice president of Pornhub, said in a statement:

"Here at Pornhub, it's important that we cater to our users' ever-changing payment preferences and, as such, that means accepting cryptocurrencies as a payment method, which provide users with anonymity and security. We look forward to continuing to stockpile our arsenal of cryptocurrencies, providing our fans with more payment methods than ever before. Hopefully we are the precursor for widespread adoption across the industry."

Robert Viglione, co-founder of ZenCash, said in a statement that the payment option gives "the ability to pay for adult entertainment privately without fear of exposure."

Tron was not available for comment as of press time.
