Important points
- Rumble and Tether have introduced Rumble Wallet, a non-custodial cryptocurrency wallet that allows direct tipping in Bitcoin, USDT, and Tether Gold.
- Rumble Wallet integrates directly into the Rumble platform, bypassing intermediaries and empowering direct financial interaction between creators and users.
Rumble and Tether have jointly introduced Rumble Wallet, a non-custodial cryptocurrency wallet that integrates directly into video sharing platforms and enables tipping and payments using digital assets.
As the company points out, users will be able to send tips to creators using Bitcoin, USDT, and Tether Gold (XAUt) from launch. This wallet eliminates dependence on traditional financial intermediaries and enables borderless, instant crypto transactions.
According to Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski, Rumble Wallet aligns the platform’s free speech ethos with the decentralization principles found in cryptocurrencies.
“We’re putting more power in the hands of users and creators so they can engage with and financially support the content they love. This is another parallel to freedom of expression, all unique to Rumble,” Pavlovsky said.
Powered by Tether’s Wallet Development Kit, Rumble Wallet gives users complete control over their digital assets while directly linking the platform to blockchain-based payment rails.
MoonPay provides on-ramp and off-ramp infrastructure that allows users to seamlessly convert between cryptocurrencies and traditional payment methods such as credit cards and PayPal.
Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino said in a statement that the rollout of the Rumble wallet underscores Tether’s commitment to supporting technology that enhances user autonomy and free expression.
“Rumble Wallet brings these ideals together in one product, giving tens of millions of users more control than any platform to date, even in the United States,” Ardoino said.
Tether and Rumble have established a deep strategic partnership. The stablecoin giant holds about 104 million shares of Rumble, accounting for about 48% of the company.
“We are proud to continue working with Rumble and pushing the envelope to spread freedom and independence to every corner of the internet in the most decentralized way possible,” he added.
Commenting on the launch, MoonPay CEO Ivan Soto-Wright said peer-to-peer cryptocurrency payments are poised to play a central role in the future internet economy, and Rumble is an early and leading platform to adopt this model.
