Rumble and Tether have launched Rumble Wallet, a non-custodial wallet built directly into the video-sharing platform to enable tipping and payments.
Users can tip creators in bitcoin, USDT, and Tether Gold (XAUt) at launch.
The companies said the product is designed to reduce reliance on traditional financial intermediaries and enable instant, borderless transfers.
How the wallet works
Rumble Wallet is powered by Tether’s Wallet Development Kit.
Rumble said users retain full control of their assets while the platform connects directly to blockchain-based payment rails.
Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski said the wallet fits the company’s emphasis on free expression and decentralization:
“We are putting more power into the hands of users and creators so they can engage with and financially support the content they like. That’s another parallel to free expression, and it’s all unique to Rumble.”
MoonPay handles fiat conversions
MoonPay will provide the on- and off-ramp infrastructure that will allow users to convert between bitcoin and other supported assets and traditional payment methods, including credit cards and PayPal.
Partnership details
Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino said the wallet is meant to expand user autonomy on large platforms. He stated:
“Rumble Wallet brings those ideals together into one product that will give tens of millions of users more control than any platform has offered before, even in the United States.”
Tether and Rumble described the launch as part of a broader strategic partnership.
Tether holds a nearly 104 million share stake in Rumble, representing roughly 48% of the company.
