There is no such clause in the Coinbase Commerce TOS[0], and "Coinbase Commerce accounts are completely separate from Coinbase accounts"[1].

Also not sure what the Coinbase Commerce account is even for since "Coinbase Commerce is not a hosted service".

That's true, didn't know about that. However, the Coinbase Commerce has a clause that I guess (if they feel like), can apply for adult entertainment businesses.

> You agree not to use the Services in ways that:

> Are illegal, obscene, defamatory, threatening, intimidating, harassing, hateful, racially, or ethnically offensive, or instigate or encourage conduct that would be illegal, or otherwise inappropriate, including promoting violent crimes;

Depending on who you ask, "obscene" and "otherwise inappropriate" can cover adult entertainment.

Guess it's impossible for us to guess, unless a case goes to court.

I don't think the courts have anything to say about it; Coinbase can refuse your business for any reason. Adult businesses aren't a protected class.
