Video platform Rumble (RUM) plans to launch bitcoin tipping to its 51 million monthly users in mid-December, expanding the way creators can earn money directly from their audiences.
The new feature, developed in partnership with Tether, allows viewers to tip BTC through an in-app digital wallet. It was announced during the Plan ₿ Forum in Lugano, Switzerland.
The company said it is still testing the system. The first BTC tip was sent to Canadian content creator David Freiheit.
