Why is verification harder on OnlyFans than crypto exchanges?
OnlyFans and Pornhub creator accounts may be harder to secure than a crypto account, but stricter hurdles don’t always mean stronger KYC.
The verification process on adult platforms can be more cumbersome than Know Your Customer (KYC) checks on cryptocurrency exchanges — though added difficulty doesn’t necessarily reflect stronger compliance.
Signing up as a model on OnlyFans or Pornhub isn’t all that different from opening an account on a crypto trading platform. The process often begins with a Google login (or other online accounts, depending on the exchange), followed by the familiar ritual of selfies and ID uploads.
Both adult platforms and crypto exchanges are under mounting scrutiny over how they verify users — one to prevent minors from selling explicit content, the other to stop criminals from laundering money.
