Tether & Rumble Team Up: New Peer-to-Peer Creator Wallet Set to Disrupt Payment Rails
Tether, the stablecoin behemoth, just shook hands with video platform Rumble. Their mission? Launch a dedicated peer-to-peer wallet that lets creators get paid directly—no middlemen, no delays.
Cutting Out the Gatekeepers
This isn't just another payment app. It's a direct financial pipeline. The partnership aims to build a wallet where tips, subscriptions, and revenue flow straight from fan to creator. Think of it as a digital tip jar that bypasses traditional banking's sluggish fees and holds. The move targets the core frustration for digital entrepreneurs: getting your money, on your terms.
Why This Changes the Game
For creators, it means instant settlement. For the crypto space, it's a massive validation of stablecoins as practical tools, not just trading fodder. Tether's USDT provides the stable value; Rumble brings the audience. Together, they're building an on-ramp for mainstream content monetization that lives entirely on-chain. It's a quiet jab at the legacy system—because why wait three business days for your own money when you can have it in three seconds?
The Bottom Line
This collaboration signals a push into real-world utility that could see crypto wallets become as common as social media profiles. It turns audience engagement into immediate financial action. Of course, the usual suspects in traditional finance will call it reckless—right before they launch their own, more expensive, copycat version next quarter.
Tether and Rumble Advance Their Lugano Commitments
The launch follows the Plan B Forum agreement in Lugano last October. The event discussed requirements for blockchain tools that defend digital creators, Tether and Rumble have said. They targeted users who might face banking restrictions or financial uncertainties in traditional banking systems.
The wallet is the physical embodiment of that plan. It leverages Tether’s open-source, interoperable security platform to ensure the utmost security and privacy for users. The companies said the purpose is to provide creators with a reliable way to move digital assets around.
Speaking about the listing, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino said, Rumble and decentralized technologies have a shared focus on open access and user control. The wallet provides a way for creators to get support from their audiences directly, he said.
The wallet improves the features offered with payments and will make sure we enhance our followers’ freedom to purchase goods and services. Ardoino said. He also added that the system allows users to determine how their assets are stored and moved. Both companies emphasized the need to eliminate barriers associated with legacy payment processors.
Rumble had already signaled it was interested in digital payments. In May, the company announced that it would add support for bitcoin wallet by Q3. That roadmap had been for basic payments, but today the wallet supports various assets.
MoonPay Integration Strengthens Access to Digital Assets
The wallet has a full self-custodial design. The users are able to transfer assets across wallets or trade through decentralized services. The system also facilitates deposits, simple conversions, and withdrawals.
The onboarding partner of the wallet will be MoonPay. It will give the users an opportunity to purchase assets by using credit cards, Apple Pay, PayPal, and Venmo. The firms explained that this integration will help ease entry among the users new to online resources.

MoonPay CEO Ivan Soto-Wright discussed the partnership. He claimed that online payments through peer-to-peer are a rising FORM of economy. Rumble is one of the first to use this creator earnings model, he said.
The wallet does not add any additional incentives and platform tokens. Instead, it offers a limited number of established digital assets. The companies asserted that the system will prioritize dependability over new token-based features.
Rumble Wallet is a major partnership between Rumble and Tether. It also increases the blockchain-enabled payment access to creators desiring immediate and self-directed transactions. The companies anticipate additional features to come with increased adoption.
