Rumble Launches Bitcoin Tipping for 51 Million Users with Tether Backing

Rumble, backed by stablecoin issuer Tether, is set to launch Bitcoin tipping for its 51 million monthly users in December. This move will provide a new monetization channel for creators and could boost both Bitcoin and stablecoin usage within the American user base. The initiative was unveiled at the Plan ₿ Forum in Lugano. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino sees this collaboration as a significant step towards integrating cryptocurrency into mainstream platforms. The platform’s CEO, Chris Pavlovski, confirmed the phased rollout of the tipping feature. With Tether’s extensive investment of $775 million, Rumble aims to demonstrate the viability of stablecoins in social media and digital monetization. This move could potentially reshape competitive dynamics among social media platforms.
