How the Rumble Wallet Works for Users and Creators
The newly launched Wallet is integrated directly into the platform. For viewers, tipping a creator during a live stream or on a video is meant to be a smooth process. Users can fund their wallets using MoonPay, a service that converts regular currency into cryptocurrency, which makes it easier for people new to digital assets to participate.
For creators, this model will provide more control over their channels. Earnings from tips can be withdrawn instantly to a personal external wallet to be held within the Rumble app.
“Rumble represents free speech and liberty the same way that cryptocurrency and a decentralized internet represent freedom, and Rumble Wallet is the natural combination of those things,” Rumble founder and CEO Chris Pavlovski said. “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.”
“At Tether, we champion technologies that promote freedom, decentralization, and the fundamental right to free speech. Rumble Wallet brings those ideals together into one product that will give tens of millions of users more control than any platform has offered before, even in key markets such as the United States,” Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, stated in the official announcement. “We are proud to continue to collaborate with Rumble and promote an open, decentralized internet and financial system, making Bitcoin, Tether USDT, Tether Gold and soon Tether USAT available to the extremely wide and loyal user base of one of the most prominent social media platforms in the world.”
Global Trend of Crypto Adoption
In recent months, many platforms and applications have integrated crypto-based services. According to the 2025 Global Crypto Adoption Index by the analytics firm Chainalysis, countries including India and the United States are leading a surge in crypto use, with active users growing 15% year-over-year.
This expansion was also seen across different industries. In 2025, Meta added crypto wallet features to WhatsApp Pay in some regions. Major gaming platforms like Roblox and Epic Games incorporated wallets for digital assets. Research from Technavio projects that the global crypto wallet will grow by $631.2 million between 2024 and 2029, which will be mainly fueled by this kind of mobile application integration.
Behind this global trend, stablecoins are also playing a crucial role in enhancing financial transactions. These digital currencies are pegged to stable assets like the USD, which help it to avoid price swings seen with Bitcoin. The total value of all stablecoins soared above $300 billion in 2025, thanks to friendly regulation like the GENIUS Act.
For example, Visa has launched a stablecoin settlement system in the United States in December 2025, which allows merchants to use USDC for fast transfers. Similarly, Mastercard announced a partnership in June 2025 with companies like Paxos, PayPal, and Fiserv to enable stablecoins across its network.
