Brave New Coin
Rumble is partnering with Tether to launch a Bitcoin tipping feature for its content creators via a new Rumble Wallet.

Summary

Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski announced a partnership with Tether, whose CEO Paolo Ardoino joined him onstage, to launch a Bitcoin tipping system for content creators. The feature, currently in testing and expected to fully launch between early and mid-December 2025, operates through Rumble's native wallet, developed with MoonPay, allowing fans to send direct Bitcoin tips, bypassing high fees of traditional platforms.

This integration builds upon Tether's significant $775 million investment in Rumble from December 2024 and aligns with Tether's strategy to empower creators globally, especially by offering protection against financial censorship. Rumble, positioning itself as a free speech alternative to YouTube, has also embraced Bitcoin as a corporate treasury asset, holding approximately $25 million in BTC as of Q2 2025. The tipping system offers creators lower fees, instant payments, global accessibility, and protection from deplatforming, aligning with Bitcoin's decentralized philosophy.
