Here Is How Verge (XVG) is Leading The Charge in Crypto Adoption
The famous pizza purchase of 2010 that was worth 10,000 Bitcoin (BTC) will go down in history as the first time cryptocurrencies were used for a major purchase. Some crypto-traders view it as the most expensive pizza but others view it a necessary step forward towards the mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies for the use in purchasing goods and service.
So How is the Verge (XVG) Currency Leading the way in crypto adoption?
The most notable merchant that many crypto-enthusiasts know that accepts Verge (XVG) is Pornhub. Users can now use XVG to pay for their subscriptions discretely using the privacy setting on the XVG ledger. Given the fact that the adult film industry is worth a whopping $92 Billion (according to 2017 data), you can now start to see how XVG is leading the way in crypto adoption.
Following the Pornhub announcement that it will be accepting XVG, TrafficJunky followed suit and also announced that they will be accepting XVG. TrafficJunky is the largest adult industry advertising service that helps its clients advertise on sites such as Pornhub. The latter receives up to 90 Million unique visitors per day.
More merchants and vendors accepting XVG
Browsing the Verge Currency website, we find a list of 111 businesses that accept XVG as a form of payment. This is an impressive figure. Some of the vendors expressed their views as to why they chose Verge as an acceptable form of payment at their businesses.
Jeremiah Selander, CEO of Baby Bass, had this to say about why they chose to accept XVG:
“Some of the products we sell have a low margin. Accepting Verge over regular credit cards helps improve that margin for some of those orders.”
Similar sentiments were expressed by Joel Schuberg of Blunt Umbrellas: a business that also accepts XVG:
“Accepting crypto as a payment option was a no-brainer. we wanted to partner with a cryptocurrency that had a strong community, solid history, and an exciting future. That was Verge.”
The near instant settlement of XVG was praised by John Hanby of Fractal VIsuals that also accept Verge Currency:
“Incorporating faster payment technologies like Verge, which offers ultra-low processing fees and near instant transaction speeds, allows us to further increase the speed at which our company is able to process payments”
In conclusion, it is self-evident that the Verge (XVG) is making major strides that will lead to the mainstream adoption of not only XVG but all cryptocurrencies in general. One hundred and eleven merchants accepting XVG is a praiseworthy achievement.

Hong Kong, Hong Kong, 25th January, 2021, // ChainWire //
Xeno Holdings Limited (xno.live ), a blockchain solutions company based in Hong Kong, has announced the listing of its ecosystem utility token XNO on the ‘Bithumb Korea’ cryptocurrency exchange on January 21st 2021.
Xeno NFT Hub (market.xno.live ), developed by Xeno Holdings, enables easy minting of digital items into NFTs while also providing a marketplace where anyone can securely trade NFTs.
The Xeno NFT Hub project team includes former members of the technology project Yosemite X based in San Francisco and professionals such as Gabby Dizon who is a games industry expert and NFT space influencer based in Southeast Asia.
NFT(Non-Fungible Token) technology has recently gained huge focus in the blockchain arena and beyond, making waves in the online gaming sector, the art world, and the digital copyrights industry in recent years. The strongest feature of NFTs is that “NFTs are unique digital assets that cannot be replaced or forged”. Unlike fungible tokens such as Bitcoin or Ether, NFTs are not interchangeable for other tokens of the same type but instead each NFT has a unique value and specific information that cannot be replaced. This fact makes NFTs the perfect solution to record and prove ownership of digital and real-world items like works of art, game items, limited-edition collectibles, and more. One of the ways to have a successful…
2020 has been an incredible year for crypto as investors have generated windfall profits and crypto projects have seen their businesses gain the spotlight they’ve been looking for. While Bitcoin has received most of the attention after major institutional investors announced they were accumulating the increasingly scarce asset, many altcoins have also seen their fair share of glory. When looking at all the big winners of the past year, the first project that probably comes to mind is Chainlink, having appreciated by more than 550% YTD and now valued at over $4.5 billion. But, the actual biggest winner of the year is HEX with a YTD return of over 5,000%.
I mention both of the above projects as they have each taken slightly different paths to achieve greatness. Chainlink has devoted resources toward building a fundamentally sound business with many strategic partnerships while HEX has spent vast sums of money on marketing and promotion. Both approaches are valid, but one thing is certain, it is absolutely imperative for crypto projects to let the crypto community know what makes them special. Of course, one of the reasons that makes crypto so valuable is the powerful blockchain technology that most projects are utilizing.
Cryptocurrency vs. Blockchain Technology
It’s important to make a distinction between blockchain technology and cryptocurrency. Although they are often used interchangeably, they are different. Blockchain technology and crypto were both created after the 2008 financial crisis, but cryptocurrency…

He also added “This does not mean we will prohibit other types of NFTs from our ecosystem However, it simply means that XENO’s efforts as a company will be targeted into these verticals initially as a cohesive business approach.”
