What to know:

  • The Rumble Wallet is the first live deployment of Tether’s Wallet Development Kit and keeps user custody fully decentralized.
  • The feature, integrated into the Rumble app and powered by MoonPay, adds a new income stream for creators outside ads or subscriptions.

Hinted at for months, the wallet allows viewers to tip content creators in bitcoin BTC$91,797.31, tether USDT$0.9994, or XAUT$4,450.41 without going through traditional payment systems like banks, ad networks, or credit card companies. It’s fully non-custodial, meaning users — not Rumble — hold the keys to their funds.

The product is built using Tether’s Wallet Development Kit (WDK), a platform that lets users create wallets without relying on centralized custodians. This is the first live deployment of the WDK.

“Rumble represents free speech and liberty the same way that cryptocurrency and a decentralized internet represent freedom, and Rumble Wallet is the natural combination of those things,” said Chris Pavlovski, founder and CEO of Rumble.

The wallet is integrated directly into the Rumble app, giving creators another income stream that doesn’t depend on advertising revenue or subscriptions. Payments will be handled by MoonPay.

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino called the wallet a step toward more “decentralized and freedom-preserving” tools for internet users. “Tens of millions of people will now be able to use crypto to support the content they value — without middlemen.”

Rumble has positioned itself as a “free speech” alternative to YouTube, with a growing audience and a business model that appeals to creators seeking independence from platform moderation or advertising restrictions. Tether has backed the platform for a while, with several three-digit million dollar investments.

RUM was higher by 3% in premarket trading, though still 50% lower on a year-over-year basis.

KuCoin Hits Record Market Share as 2025 Volumes Outpace Crypto Market

Commissioned byKuCoin

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.

What to know:

  • KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
  • This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
  • Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
  • Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
  • Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.

AI Crypto Trading Secrets: What They Won’t Tell You About Profits and Pitfalls|9-Figure Media

AI Crypto Trading Secrets: What They Won’t Tell You About Profits and Pitfalls|9-Figure Media

AI crypto trading is everywhere, and every YouTube guru claims their bot mints money while they sleep. Sounds dreamy, right? However, most don’t discuss the full story, the wild profits possible, and the lurking pitfalls. As someone obsessed with the intersection of artificial intelligence and digital assets, let me pull back the curtain on the realities of algorithmic trading in the crypto jungle. Here’s what nobody tells you: 87% of retail traders using automated systems lose money within their first year. The marketing materials show cherry-picked results. The testimonials come from paid affiliates. But here’s the twist. The remaining 13% who succeed aren’t just lucky. They understand something the majority misses entirely. The Reality Behind the Hype The crypto world loves success stories. You’ve probably seen them. “I made $50,000 in three months using this bot.” What they don’t mention? The $200,000 they lost by testing seventeen other systems first. Real talk: most trading algorithms fail because they’re built for perfect market conditions. Crypto markets are anything but perfect. Think about it like this. Would you trust a Formula 1 car to handle rush hour traffic? That’s essentially what most people do with their trading bots. Why Smart Money Uses Crypto AI Tools Differently Professional traders approach crypto AI tools with surgical precision. They don’t expect miracles. They expect consistent, measured results. The difference lies in understanding what these tools actually do well: • Risk management automation • Pattern recognition at scale • Emotional bias elimination • 24/7 market monitoring • Portfolio rebalancing Notice what’s missing from that list? Get-rich-quick schemes. The smartest crypto AI tools focus on protecting capital first. Profits come second. This mindset separates winners from losers. Here’s something interesting. 9-figure media companies track these patterns religiously. They know which crypto AI tools produce sustainable results versus flashy short-term gains. Professional traders using crypto AI tools typically target 15–25% annual returns. Not 500% monthly moonshots. The Startup Connection Most People Ignore AI for startups isn’t just about building the next ChatGPT. Many successful companies use AI to optimize their crypto treasury management. Smart startups integrate crypto AI tools into their financial operations early. They automate routine decisions. They reduce human error. They scale their trading operations without hiring armies of analysts. But here’s where it gets interesting. The best AI for startup applications in crypto aren’t the obvious ones. Consider automated tax reporting. Or real-time compliance monitoring. Or treasury optimization across multiple blockchains. These unsexy applications generate more consistent profits than flashy trading algorithms. AI for startups in the crypto space succeeds when it solves boring problems efficiently. Not when it promises unrealistic returns. The most successful AI for startups implementations focus on operational efficiency. They reduce costs. They minimize risks. They free up human resources for strategic decisions. Learning from Top AI Start-Ups Top AI start-ups in the crypto space share common characteristics. They prioritize transparency over marketing hype. Look at successful top AI start-ups like Chainalysis or Elliptic. They don’t promise easy money. They provide essential infrastructure. The best top AI start-ups focus on solving real problems: • Market data analysis • Security monitoring • Regulatory compliance • Portfolio analytics • Risk assessment These top AI start-ups understand something crucial. Sustainable businesses solve actual problems. They don’t just ride hype cycles. 9-figure media outlets consistently highlight these fundamental companies. They ignore the noise. They focus on substance. Many top AI start-ups actually discourage retail trading. They know the odds. They’ve seen the casualties. Instead, successful top AI start-ups build tools for institutions. Banks. Hedge funds. Companies with proper risk management systems. The Hidden Costs Nobody Discusses Using crypto AI tools costs more than subscription fees. Much more. First, there’s the learning curve. Most people spend months figuring out proper settings. During this time, they’re paying tuition to the market. Second, there’s infrastructure. Reliable crypto AI tools require stable internet, backup systems, and proper security measures. Third, there’s opportunity cost. Time spent tweaking algorithms could be spent learning fundamental analysis. The real cost? Most people using crypto AI tools trade more frequently. Increased trading usually means increased losses. Think about 9-figure media companies again. They understand that technology amplifies existing skills. It doesn’t replace them. Smart Implementation Strategies Successful crypto AI tools users follow specific patterns: • Start with paper trading • Use position sizing rules • Set strict stop losses • Monitor performance weekly • Adjust strategies quarterly They treat crypto AI tools like any other business tool. With respect. With caution. With realistic expectations, startup applications work similarly. They augment human decision-making. They don’t replace it. The most successful AI for startups implementations in crypto involve human oversight at every level. Algorithms suggest. Humans decide. What Actually Works Here’s what separates successful crypto AI tools users from everyone else: They focus on consistency over home runs. They understand that small, regular gains compound better than occasional big wins followed by devastating losses. They apply AI principles to their approach for startups. They iterate quickly. They fail fast. They learn constantly. They study top AI start-ups for inspiration. But they don’t try to replicate their exact strategies. Most importantly, they never risk money they can’t afford to lose. The crypto market will humble anyone. AI doesn’t change this fundamental truth. Your success with crypto AI tools depends more on your discipline than the sophistication of your algorithms. Remember: the house always has an edge. Your job is to find where that edge doesn’t apply. That’s the secret they won’t tell you.
