Rumble Launches In-App Self-Custody Crypto Wallet With Tether for Direct Creator Payments

MoonPay powers fiat bridges to lower onboarding friction for tipping.

Overview

  • The live Rumble Wallet is embedded in the platform and supports Bitcoin, USDT, and Tether Gold, with users holding their own keys in a non-custodial setup.
  • Built on Tether’s Wallet Development Kit, the release marks the first real-world deployment of the WDK on a major consumer platform.
  • Viewers can tip creators directly without banks, ad networks, or external payment processors, shifting payouts to on-chain rails inside the app.
  • MoonPay enables on- and off-ramps so users can move between crypto and familiar payment methods including credit cards, Apple Pay, PayPal, and Venmo.
  • Tether holds a significant stake in Rumble, and coverage noted a modest rise in RUM shares after the launch, with future traction hinging on creator adoption and transaction volume; some reports say USAT could be added next.
