Rumble unveils new crypto wallet with Tether integration, allowing users to tip in BTC, USDT, and XAUT.

Rumble Rolls Out Non-Custodial Crypto Wallet for Tips in BTC, USDT, and XAUT

Video platform Rumble (RUM) saw modest pre-market gains Wednesday after launching its Rumble Wallet, developed in partnership with Tether, the issuer of USDT and a major investor in the company.

The wallet allows fans to tip content creators in Bitcoin (BTC $91,079.68), Tether (USDT $0.9991), or XAUT ($4,451.92) without going through banks, ad networks, or credit card providers. Fully non-custodial, users maintain control of their private keys.

Built with Tether’s Wallet Development Kit (WDK), this marks the first live deployment of the platform, which enables wallet creation without centralized custodians.

“Rumble represents free speech and liberty the same way cryptocurrency and a decentralized internet represent freedom. Rumble Wallet is the natural combination of these,” said Chris Pavlovski, Rumble’s founder and CEO.

Integrated directly into the Rumble app, the wallet gives creators a new income stream independent of ads or subscriptions. Payments will be processed via MoonPay.

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino called the wallet a step toward “more decentralized and freedom-preserving tools,” allowing millions to support creators directly with crypto — no middlemen required.

Rumble has positioned itself as a free speech alternative to YouTube, appealing to creators seeking independence from moderation and ad restrictions. Tether has backed the platform with multiple investments totaling hundreds of millions of dollars.
