Hinted at for months, the wallet allows viewers to tip content creators in bitcoin BTC$91,797.31, tether USDT$0.9994, or XAUT$4,450.41 without going through traditional payment systems like banks, ad networks, or credit card companies. It’s fully non-custodial, meaning users — not Rumble — hold the keys to their funds.
The product is built using Tether’s Wallet Development Kit (WDK), a platform that lets users create wallets without relying on centralized custodians. This is the first live deployment of the WDK.
“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,” said Chris Pavlovski, founder and CEO of Rumble.
The wallet is integrated directly into the Rumble app, giving creators another income stream that doesn’t depend on advertising revenue or subscriptions. Payments will be handled by MoonPay.
Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino called the wallet a step toward more “decentralized and freedom-preserving” tools for internet users. “Tens of millions of people will now be able to use crypto to support the content they value — without middlemen.”
Rumble has positioned itself as a “free speech” alternative to YouTube, with a growing audience and a business model that appeals to creators seeking independence from platform moderation or advertising restrictions. Tether has backed the platform for a while, with several three-digit million dollar investments.
RUM was higher by 3% in premarket trading, though still 50% lower on a year-over-year basis.

KuCoin Hits Record Market Share as 2025 Volumes Outpace Crypto Market
Commissioned byKuCoin
KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.

Fed spokesperson: The Fed has started a moderate rate cut cycle, and there are huge differences in future decisions
PANews reported on September 18th that according to Jinshi, "Federal Reserve mouthpiece" Nick Timiraos stated that the Federal Reserve approved a 25 basis point interest rate cut on Wednesday, the first in nine months. Officials believe that recent labor market weakness has outweighed the headwinds posed by recurrent inflation. Slightly over half of officials expect at least two more rate cuts this year, suggesting the possibility of consecutive action at the remaining two meetings in October and December. This summary of economic forecasts suggests a shift in policy stance toward broader concerns about cracks in the job market—an environment complicated by significant policy adjustments that have made economic trends increasingly difficult to predict. Forecasts suggest that future policy decisions could be even more divided: Of the 19 officials present, seven predicted no further rate cuts this year, while two supported only one. Most officials believed that given the current outlook for solid economic activity (even if slowing slightly), further significant rate cuts next year were unnecessary. Fed officials have debated this balance throughout the year. Powell's decision to guide his colleagues toward a rate cut was based on a judgment that inflation risks may be more manageable, and that the Fed should accept more of them to avoid a deeper impact on the labor market.
