The streaming platform Rumble has just launched tests of a non-custodial crypto wallet for content creators. Yes, now you can send Bitcoin and USDT directly in the comments of the live stream.
The business is like this: creators receive tips in BTC, Tether (USDT) and even tokenized gold. Tether is behind this integration, processing the on-chain transactions. It's in limited test on Android for now.
Why does it matter? Because it shows the direction that video platforms are heading - crypto monetization as a real alternative to traditional systems. While YouTube continues with annoying ads, Rumble is creating a direct creator-fan flow in cryptocurrencies.
Another proof that Web3 is moving from being abstract to becoming a real feature in mainstream applications.
