Rumble to Roll Out BTC Tips to Streaming Platform’s 51M Users – Crypto News

Video-sharing platform Rumble is preparing to roll out Bitcoin tipping for its more than 51 million monthly active users, the company’s CEO Chris Pavlovski announced on Friday.

Rumble has teamed up with stablecoin issuer Tether to enable Bitcoin (BTC) tipping, Pavlovski said onstage at the Plan ₿ Forum in Lugano, Switzerland.

“Right now, we’re in the testing phase [but] we’re going to start rolling that out alongside Tether here in the coming weeks.”

Also onstage was Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino, who expects a full rollout by early to mid-December once small bugs are fixed and the UX is finessed.

The Rumble team posted a video on X showcasing its first tip sent to Rumble content creator and former Canadian political candidate, David Freiheit.

The integration could play a crucial role in pushing Bitcoin payments adoption, given the size of Rumble’s audience and its anti-censorship stance, which resonates with many in the Bitcoin community.

While institutional adoption has fueled the current bull run, Bitcoin’s use as a means of payment still hasn’t broken into the mainstream as hoped.
