Rumble and Tether have jointly introduced Rumble Wallet, a non-custodial crypto wallet built directly into the video sharing platform that allows for tips and payments using digital assets.

From the start, users can send tips to creators using Bitcoin, USDT, and Tether Gold (XAUt), according to the companies. The wallet eliminates dependence on traditional financial intermediaries by enabling fast and borderless crypto transactions.

According to Rumble CEO Chris Pawlowski, Rumble Pocket aligns the free speech ethos of the platform with the principles of decentralization found in crypt.

“We're putting more power in the hands of consumers and creators to support and monetize the content they love. It's another parallel to the Declaration of Independence, and it's all unique to Rumble,” Pawlowski said.

With Tether's Wallet Development Kit, Rumble Wallet connects the platform directly to blockchain-based payment rails, giving users full control over their digital assets.

MoonPay offers an on- and off-the-shelf infrastructure that allows users to seamlessly switch between crypto and traditional payment methods such as credit cards and PayPal.

The release of Rumble Pocket underscores Tether's commitment to supporting technologies that empower user autonomy and freedom of expression, Tether CEO Paolo Arduino said in a statement.

“Rumble Pocket brings those ideas to a product that gives tens of millions of users more control than any other platform in the United States before,” Arduino said.

Tether and Rumble have formed a deep strategic partnership. The stablecoin giant owns about 104 million shares in Rambler, about 48 percent of the company.

“We're proud to continue to work with Rumble and continue to push the envelope to bring freedom and independence as decentralized as possible to all corners of the Internet,” he added.

Commenting on the launch, MoonPay CEO Evan Soto-Wright said that peer-to-peer cryptocurrency payments are poised to play a central role in the future of the Internet economy, and that Rumble is the first major platform to adopt the model.
