Coming in Q3 this year.
The wallet will support features such as tips and subscriptions, enabling fans to directly compensate content creators.
While the first version will focus on Bitcoin and USDT, future updates may include support for Tether Gold (XAUT).
Strategic investments & crypto strategy
This move comes after a $775 million investment from Tether into Rumble in January, including more than 103 million Class A shares.
That investment cemented Tether’s growing influence in Rumble’s operations and signaled a broader crypto strategy.
Rumble’s Bitcoin adoption & stock performance
Earlier this year, Rumble disclosed its first Bitcoin purchase, though the amount was not revealed.
Pavlovski framed it as part of a longer-term approach to digital asset adoption.
Despite these developments, Rumble’s stock performance has lagged.
RUM shares are down over 40% year-to-date, with only a slight 2.4% gain to $7.78 in the last 24 hours.
Decentralized financial tools for creators
Rumble is positioning its wallet as a decentralized alternative to platforms like Coinbase, aimed squarely at empowering creators with direct financial tools.
