Users can send tips to creators using Bitcoin, USDT, and Tether Gold (XAUt) from launch. The wallet removes reliance on traditional financial intermediaries, enabling instant, borderless crypto transactions.

According to Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski, Rumble Wallet aligns the platform’s free-speech ethos with the principles of decentralization found in crypto.

“We are putting more power into the hands of users and creators so they can engage with and financially support the content they like. That’s another parallel to free expression, and it’s all unique to Rumble,” Pavlovski stated.

Powered by Tether’s Wallet Development Kit, Rumble Wallet gives users full control of their digital assets while linking the platform directly to blockchain-based payment rails.

A third-party payment service provider will provide the on- and off-ramp infrastructure, allowing users to seamlessly convert between crypto and traditional payment methods such as credit cards and PayPal.

The rollout of Rumble Wallet underscores Tether’s commitment to supporting technologies that enhance user autonomy and free expression, said Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino in a statement.

“Rumble Wallet brings those ideals together into one product that will give tens of millions of users more control than any platform has offered before, even in the United States,” Ardoino stated.

Tether and Rumble have established a deep strategic partnership. The stablecoin giant holds a significant share stake in Rumble.

“We are proud to continue to collaborate with Rumble and keep pushing the envelope to spread liberty and independence to every corner of the internet, in as decentralized a fashion as possible,” he added.

Peer-to-peer crypto payments are poised to play a central role in the future internet economy, with Rumble being an early major platform to embrace the model.

Rumble's collaboration this time is quite interesting. The wallet is directly integrated into the platform for convenience, but it's another Tether...

Sigh, Rumble is doing this again. We'll see if it works well in the end.

Rumble, this platform should have integrated on-chain payments long ago. Why are they only starting now?

Rumble finally figured out the wallet thing, directly built-in tipping, which is really convenient.

Rumble wallet seems to be just boosting the popularity of second-tier platforms. Direct tipping with Bitcoin and USDT sounds good, but how many people will actually use it?
