The product is named Rumble Wallet. At launch, the app supports Bitcoin, USDT, and tokenized gold Tether Gold (XAUT). Developers position the wallet as a tool for direct cross-border payments, ensuring users have complete control over their private keys and funds.

This integration enables content creators to monetize their work without intermediaries such as ad networks, banks, and payment services.

MoonPay is responsible for the deposit and withdrawal of funds. Users can transact using credit cards, Apple Pay, PayPal, and Venmo.

Rumble CEO Chris Pavlowski noted that the new tool combines principles of free speech with the capabilities of decentralized finance:

“We are putting more power in the hands of users and creators so they can interact and financially support the content they love.”

The wallet is the first product developed using the Tether Wallet Development Kit (WDK). For the company, this marks a step towards expanding the use of its infrastructure beyond exchanges and the DeFi sector.

According to Paolo Ardoino, this initiative opens access to non-custodial payments for a broad audience, including users from the United States.

The introduction of this new feature follows Rumble's plans to launch Bitcoin donations, announced last year in partnership with Tether. This move aligns with the strategy of the USDT issuer to promote crypto services and expand the use of stablecoins on popular platforms.

Far-Reaching Plans

Rumble is a video hosting and cloud provider that positions itself as an independent alternative to YouTube and Big Tech corporations.

Tether is a major shareholder in the project. At the end of 2024, the USDT issuer invested $775 million in the platform. Following this, Rumble adopted a strategy to accumulate Bitcoin, incorporating cryptocurrency into its corporate reserves.

The collaboration between the companies extends beyond finance. Tether allocated $150 million for the development of Rumble's cloud infrastructure and AI projects, and also supported an agreement for merging with former Bitcoin miner Northern Data.

In December, the USDT issuer introduced PearPass — a password manager without cloud storage.
