Tether (the issuer of the world’s largest stablecoin, USDT) and Rumble (the Nasdaq-listed video platform) officially launched the Rumble Wallet today. This self-custodial crypto wallet is integrated directly into the Rumble ecosystem, allowing tens of millions of users and creators to bypass traditional financial intermediaries. Empowering the creator economy The wallet enables instant tipping and borderless payments using Bitcoin (BTC), Tether USD (USDT), and Tether Gold (XAUT). By removing payment processors, creators can receive 100% of their earnings instantly. The infrastructure is built on Tether’s open-source Wallet Development Kit (WDK).
