Bitcoin Tipping Through Partnership with Tether

“Right now, we’re in the testing phase,” Chris Pavloski said at the event. “We’re going to start rolling that out alongside Tether here in the coming weeks – will keep you all posted.” He also made it clear that the goal is to “create a new way for creators to receive tips in a secure, decentralized manner.

The partnership with Tether is another stepping stone for digital platforms moving over to more decentralized payment systems and shunning traditional ways of revenue generation, including ad-based models.

Rumble claims this new move will give creators even more power over their income and cut out middlemen and unnecessary fees.

The bitcoin tipping feature is still in its testing phase but is set to be made live on the platform by early to mid-December.

Once up and running, viewers will be able to send bitcoin tips to the creators they love, all in a faster and more cost-effective way than the old methods.

The end result will likely be creator payments that are super-efficient, particularly for those with global followings who have to deal with slow and pricey bank transfers all the time.

According to Tether’s CEO Paolo Ardoino, the partnership with Rumble represents more than just a business move—it’s part of a broader effort to empower digital creators globally.

“Bitcoin and stablecoins can serve not only part of the population that is very dear to Tether—that is the emerging markets population—but also in the primary economy like the United States,” Ardoino said.

“You can actually find use cases for Bitcoin and stablecoins that really are going to empower creators, and bring them the security of the fact that they will not be debanked for what they say.”
