Rumble (RUM), the video-sharing platform known for supporting free speech and independent creators, is making a major leap into the crypto space. In a newly announced partnership with MoonPay, Rumble will launch the Rumble Wallet, a built-in digital wallet that allows users to buy, sell, and swap cryptocurrencies directly on the platform. The wallet is scheduled to launch in Q3 2025, and marks a significant step toward decentralizing the creator economy.
Rumble Wallet: Giving Creators Financial Control
The Rumble Wallet will integrate MoonPay’s trusted payments infrastructure, offering seamless conversion between cryptocurrencies and traditional fiat currencies. This means creators will be able to manage their digital earnings more efficiently—without needing to rely on third-party apps or exchanges.
Rumble’s CEO Chris Pavlovski described the move as a turning point for the platform:
“We’re not just building tools, we’re building freedom.”
With the wallet, creators gain greater autonomy over how they earn, store, and use their money—whether it’s in Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), or other digital assets.
Web3 Content Creation and Major Investment from Tether
As part of the deal, MoonPay’s creative agency Otherlife will move its operations to Rumble Cloud. This shift will allow Otherlife to create content using decentralized Web3 tools, leveraging Rumble’s infrastructure for storage and computing. The goal is to build a more open, censorship-resistant content ecosystem.
Rumble’s crypto strategy has accelerated in recent months. The company received a $775 million investment from Tether, the issuer of USDT and tokenized gold (XAUT). In addition to the new wallet, Rumble has:
-
Added Bitcoin to its corporate balance sheet
-
Announced plans to accept BTC, USDT, and XAUT for payments
This move positions Rumble as a pioneer at the intersection of digital content, decentralized finance, and creator empowerment. With its crypto integration and investment in Web3 tools, Rumble is building a platform designed for the future of independent media.
