Rumble Taps Tether to Launch Non-Custodial Crypto Wallet

Video streaming platform Rumble has launched a new crypto wallet that users can control directly within its app. Rumble announced this launch in partnership with Tether, the company behind USDT, one of the largest stablecoins. The wallet, dubbed Rumble Wallet, enables users to tip creators with digital assets, aligning with Rumble’s goal of providing decentralized financial tools for creators. 

Rumble Wallet to Power Creators Tip

The new wallet supports Bitcoin (BTC), USDT, and Tether Gold (XAUt). This provides users with various options to help creators with both stable and volatile digital currencies. It is worth noting that a unique feature of the Rumble wallet is that it is non-custodial. This means users keep full control of their private keys and funds. 

Rumble wallet is built on Tether’s Wallet Development Kit (WDK). This makes it the first wallet built with this framework. Importantly, Rumble’s wallet not only supports cryptocurrencies but also makes it easy to use. 

Additionally, MoonPay will power all crypto on and off-ramps for Rumble wallet users. As such, wallet users can switch between digital currencies and regular payment methods. They can also fund or use the wallet with credit cards, Apple Pay, PayPal, and Venmo. This connection between traditional payments and blockchain transactions helps newcomers feel more comfortable with cryptocurrencies. It offers advanced tools for experienced users.

Meanwhile, RUM stock increased nearly 4% in premarket trading after the news. This indicates a positive market sentiment regarding Rumble’s shift into digital assets and creator tools for revenue generation. 

Tether-Backed Rumble to Roll Our Bitcoin Tipping

Recall that, in October, Rumble announced a new offering for its 51 million monthly active users. As reported by TheCoinRise, the streaming platform said that it will launch crypto-based tipping for its users starting mid-December 2025.

Ahead of the official launch, renowned lawyer and content creator David Freiheit became the first beneficiary of the platform. Rumble described the development as “freedom meets finance.” This suggests that users will enjoy financial independence through decentralized payment systems. 

Rumble’s CEO, Chris Pavlovski, hinted in May 2025 that it would launch its own Bitcoin and stablecoin wallet in the third quarter of 2025. According to Pavlovski, it is designed to compete against Coinbase wallets.

Rumble Expands Its Presence in the Crypto Space

This tipping feature is part of Rumble’s larger crypto push, which has been actively expanding its blockchain and digital payment strategy. The company is working with MoonPay to offer built-in crypto wallets. This makes it easier for creators to receive Bitcoin and other digital assets directly.

Rumble also adopted a Bitcoin treasury strategy earlier in 2025, accumulating 210.8 BTC. Tether has been a key investor in the firm’s growth, having invested $775 million into the video platform in December 2024. The collaboration reflects a growing convergence between social media platforms and cryptocurrency ecosystems.
