Rumble Launches Crypto Wallet for Tips in BTC, USDT, and XAUT
Video platform Rumble (RUM) rose modestly in pre-market trading Wednesday following the launch of its Rumble Wallet, developed in partnership with Tether, USDT’s issuer and a key investor in the company.
The non-custodial wallet allows fans to tip creators in Bitcoin (BTC $91,079.68), Tether (USDT $0.9991), or XAUT ($4,451.92) without relying on banks, ad networks, or credit cards. Users retain full control of their private keys.
Built on Tether’s Wallet Development Kit (WDK), this marks the first live deployment of the platform, enabling wallet creation without centralized custodians.
“Rumble represents free speech and liberty the same way cryptocurrency and a decentralized internet represent freedom. Rumble Wallet is the natural combination of these,” said Chris Pavlovski, Rumble’s CEO.
Integrated directly into the Rumble app, the wallet gives creators a new revenue stream independent of ads or subscriptions, with transactions processed via MoonPay.
Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino described the wallet as a step toward “decentralized, freedom-preserving tools,” allowing millions to support creators directly, no middlemen required.
Rumble has branded itself as a free speech alternative to YouTube, appealing to creators seeking independence from moderation and ad restrictions. Tether has invested hundreds of millions of dollars into the platform.
