Playboy Enterprises will soon accept several different cryptocurrencies as payment types, according to Fortune. It’s currently developing a wallet and will begin crypto payments with the Vice Industry token. Though it will only initially be offered to subscribers of Playboy.TV, it’s reportedly expected to encompass other elements of the brand in the future, including the magazine, casual gaming, augmented reality and virtual reality.

“As the popularity of alternative payment methods continues to grow around the world, along with the reach of Playboy’s digital platforms, we felt it was important to give our 100 million monthly consumers increased payment flexibility,” Reena Patel, chief operations officer of licensing and media at Playboy, said.
