• Rumble, the video streaming platform best known for its popularity with right-wing content creators, has announced it will launch a crypto wallet in Q3 2025, in partnership with payments provider MoonPay.
  • The company said the wallet will let creators be paid in crypto directly within the Rumble app, with MoonPay providing all crypto on- and off-ramp services.

Alt-tech video streaming platform, Rumble, which is popular with right-wing content creators, has announced the planned launch of its own crypto wallet in Q3 of 2025 in partnership with leading crypto payments provider MoonPay.

MoonPay will power all crypto on- and off-ramp services within Rumble Wallet. Rumble said the partnership would allow users to seamlessly buy, sell and swap crypto, putting control directly into the hands of the community. Rumble Founder and CEO Chris Pavlovski gushed that the wallet would change the game for creators. 

Were not just building tools were building freedom. And we want partners who are as obsessed with empowering people as we are.

A second pillar of the deal will see MoonPays creative agency, Otherlife, begin using Rumbles cloud infrastructure, Rumble Cloud, to meet its next-gen object storage and decentralized compute needs. Commenting on the partnership, MoonPays CEO, Ivan Soto-Wright, said crypto represents financial freedom, the same way Rumble represents freedom of expression.

In addition to its deepening ties to the crypto industry, Rumble also has close links to the Trump Organisation. Rumble Cloud powers Donald Trumps social media platform, Truth Social, and it reportedly has a wide-ranging technology and cloud services agreement with Truth Socials parent company, the Trump Media and Technology Group. Rumble has also previously received funding from vice-president JD Vance through the investment firm he co-founded, Narya Capital.

Rumble has been actively investing in digital assets and looking to leverage blockchain tech since Tether, the issuer of the worlds largest stablecoin, took a US$775 million (AU$1.1b) stake in the company in December 2024.

At the time of the investment, Tether CEO Paulo Arduino said hed like to see crypto payments come to the video streaming platform.

One of the ways Id like to see it [crypto] being used is on Rumble, where creators can receive donations in BTC or Tether or even get paid in BTC or Tether or US dollars, whatever they prefer. And thats kind of the way were moving the company and thats the future.

Subsequently, in March of 2025 Rumble bought 188 BTC, then valued at US$17.1 million. At the time of the purchase Pavlovski said the company had plans to go deeper into crypto:

We are excited to announce these purchases and allocation of Bitcoin as part of our treasury strategy as well as a larger strategic move as we further expand our ties to the crypto industry. These holdings have the potential to serve as a valuable hedge against inflation and will not be subject to dilution like so many overprinted government-issued currencies.
