Video platform Rumble introduced a built-in non-custodial crypto wallet that allows users to directly support content creators using cryptocurrencies.
Rumble Inc. announced the launch of Rumble Wallet, developed in partnership with Tether. The new product is integrated directly into Rumble and is designed for direct crypto payments within the creator economy.
At launch, the wallet supports three digital assets: the U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin Tether (USDT), the gold-backed token Tether Gold (XAUT), and Bitcoin (BTC). Using these digital assets, platform users can send donations directly to creators without the involvement of advertising networks, banks, payment gateways, or other intermediaries. This reduces fees, speeds up settlements, and enables cross-border transfers.
Rumble Wallet is built on the Tether Wallet Development Kit (WDK). A key feature of the solution is its non-custodial model — users retain full control over their funds, and the platform itself doesn’t store user assets. For Tether, this marks the first real-world launch of a mass-market product using WDK.
To enable on- and off-ramps between cryptocurrencies and traditional payment methods, the wallet uses MoonPay’s infrastructure. Rumble Wallet users will be able to buy and sell crypto using bank cards as well as services such as Apple Pay, PayPal, and Venmo.
According to Rumble Founder and CEO Chris Pavlovski, the launch of the wallet strengthens the financial independence of both content creators and their audiences. Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, noted that the new product combines the principles of decentralization, freedom of expression, and direct interaction between users and creators, potentially opening access to crypto payments for tens of millions of people worldwide.
Rumble first announced plans to integrate cryptocurrency payments for content monetization and to launch its own wallet in March 2025. Six months later, it became known that Tether planned to promote USDT in the U.S. market through integration with Rumble.
