Tether-backed Rumble launches crypto wallet, letting fans tip creators in bitcoin and USDT
Summary
Rumble, supported by Tether, has launched the Rumble Wallet, a non-custodial cryptocurrency wallet integrated directly into its video streaming platform. This allows audiences to tip creators using bitcoin, USDT, and Tether Gold (XAUT) without needing traditional payment intermediaries. The goal is to remove reliance on ad networks and banks for creator monetization, aligning with Rumble's free-speech positioning by offering users greater financial control. The wallet utilizes Tether’s Wallet Development Kit for its first real-world deployment, with MoonPay powering the on- and off-ramps for fiat transactions. This collaboration deepens the existing strategic partnership between Tether, which is a major shareholder in Rumble, and Rumble's broader adoption of crypto, including a bitcoin treasury strategy.
