Tether, the largest company in the digital assets industry, and Rumble (NASDAQ:RUM), the Freedom-First technology platform, today announced the launch of Rumble Wallet, a self-custodial crypto wallet integrated directly into the Rumble ecosystem. The launch builds on Rumble’s earlier tipping functionality, resulting in a production-ready, platform-native financial infrastructure that embeds self-custodial digital asset ownership and payments directly into the Rumble experience for creators and users. At launch, Rumble Wallet supports Tether USD (USDT), Tether Gold (XAUT), and Bitcoin (BTC), allowing audiences to tip creators natively in crypto and to make direct, borderless payments without relying on traditional financial intermediaries. Tether USAT will also become available in the coming weeks.
By embedding a self-custodial wallet directly into the platform, Rumble enables creators to receive payments instantly from their audiences while retaining full ownership of their funds. Users can hold and transfer digital assets peer-to-peer without depending on centralised custodians, banks, or payment processors. Rumble Wallet is powered by Tether’s Wallet Development Kit (WDK), the first open-source modular toolkit built for developers, companies, and AI agents, which is designed to help platforms deploy secure, self-custodial wallets while preserving user control and privacy. This groundbreaking integration connects a global video-sharing ecosystem directly to crypto-native rails, opening new economic models for creators without introducing additional intermediaries.
Rumble Wallet embodies that vision, translating those principles into deployed, self-custodial infrastructure. “Rumble represents free speech and liberty the same way that cryptocurrency and a decentralised internet represent freedom, and Rumble Wallet is the natural combination of those things,” said Rumble founder and CEO Chris Pavlovski. “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.” The launch reinforces Tether’s broader strategy of building open financial infrastructure that can be embedded directly into real-world platforms, supporting millions of users while reducing reliance on centralised systems.
